Re: [ET2] Energy Dancing (was Whats Your Favourite ET Song?

I get the feeling that these superb states you describe are much more attainable now than when I was older.

thanks - I will report back, soon. Overnight, I was musing on my crazy
situation, trying this new stuff with nearly sixty years of
deliberately avoiding dancing as my track record.. >>>

Chris!

I don't blame you for not "dancing" in the sense of line dancing, waltz,
chachacha or whatever.

When I use the term "dance" I don't mean that, I mean movements that are
freeflowing RESULTS of what you feel in the environment, unrestricted,
just MOVEMENTS, really.

Sometimes, very rarely, you get to see a person, on TV or in the street
if you're lucky, who doesn't just walk, they kinda DANCE along the road,
as though there was no gravity at all - they're just flowing in a
MOVEMENT that is light, and easy.

There is a joy in it, something natural and so pleasing to look at, and
undoubtedly even more pleasing to be on the inside of.

There used to be this sig line that was very popular some years ago, and
a component of it was:

"Dance as though nobody's watching"

When I do my ET dancing, when it strikes me, it's just as well that I do
it at home, in a room, where I can get into it and not worry, focus on
the sensations.

Often it just starts with me becoming aware of my neck and back being
all tense and knotted up, and I just start moving my neck a bit and
rotating my shoulders to loosen up.

That's the start of the DANCE, in my definition, anyway.

This also reminds me of a story I wrote some years ago - Sufi in the
gym. If I can find it, I'll attach it.

For folk who can't move that well or even get up, a side note - you can
move the bits you can as best you can, and your autogenic body is always
able to dance FREELY.

It really does stimulate the energy system better than dozens of
prescribed "yoga forms" and twenty years of practice doing the splits,
and it's just more fun whilst we're at it.

Hey, I'm pretty enthusiastic about this whole thing, aren't I?

Blame Martin from the MM list!

Sufi In The Gym

On a visit to a big modern city, the old Sufi teacher noticed a building
called "The Dolphin Health Centre" and expressed an interest to see what
was inside.

So he was led through the various rooms where men and women in lycra
were sweating and with furious concentration on their stern faces,
pounding their feet on treadmills, jumping up and down to pounding music
whilst being exhorted loudly to "keep it up", groaning, straining,
lifting heavy weights repetitively and doing many other things the Sufi
found quite incomprehensible.

"What IS this?" he finally asked in wonderment.

The young disciples explained that the people were trying to exercise
their bodies for health.

The Sufi shook his head and in amazement he exclaimed, "But - have they
forgotten how to DANCE?!"
