This week’s Dance First Insight is from Lamara Heartwell!
When we push our bodies hard without compassion — using, abusing, exploiting, or unconsciously depleting our inner resources — we are mirroring a larger pattern of a dysfunctional relationship with Mother Earth.
This destructive pattern has become so commonplace in Western culture that we think of it as normal.
We degrade our bodies in the name of accomplishment, productivity, money, or success — to prove our worthiness.
This toxic approach can put you in a degenerative cycle of high stress, tension, and bodily pain that keeps you feeling out of balance and unable to stay present with people you love — and blocks your ability to authentically express yourself.
All it takes to step out of this unhealthy rhythm is a conscious decision to gently and lovingly regenerate your body by reconnecting it with its own intuitive ways of moving (like a baby moves) and the naturally restorative rhythms of nature.
