Thirsty Thursday

Temps have reached 82 in Malaga and we aren't far behind -- it's been hot one :)
Leigh is off back to the UK tomorrow and bad weather is now forecast and after all those good days when we were in rain ahhhhhhh
Today's Daily Ohm is right up my street and one thing I don't need to be reminded of, I can happily dance at the sound of a beat, wherever I am it's one of the joys of living in Spain, everyone from the very young to the very old will be up and boogying if there is music playing and we are now entering to the Ferria season so many chances to bop away, so dance dance and dance some more my friends with peace love light and laughter as your partners.....

Healing With Movement
As children, most of us were encouraged to dance on a
regular basis, freely and openly, in whatever way felt
best. A few of us may have retained or regained our
ability to engage in dancing unselfconsciously,
but by the time we reach adulthood,
many of us have stopped dancing altogether.
We may have hang-ups about our bodies,
or we may fear being judged. Then again, we may
simply have fallen out of the habit
for so long that we don't even realize we never
dance anymore. Whatever the case,
there's no time like now to rediscover the
healing pleasure of moving your body to
music-alone, as part of a couple, or in a group.
Opportunities to dance abound, once
you start looking for them.
If you haven't danced in a long time and feel
too self-conscious to start in a
public situation, find some time alone to reintroduce
yourself to the joy of
listening and responding to music with your body.
Turn the lights down low and
remember that it's much more fun when you're not
thinking about what you look like.
It won't take long before your body remembers how
much it loves to move. Feel the
music in your soul, feel the vibrations healing your body.
Treat the time like a
meditation session in which you agree to allow yourself
to fully inhabit your amazing body.
If you feel awkward, remember that every culture since time
immemorial has celebrated life and the body with dance.
All people carry the memory of dance in their blood and bones.
In other words, you were born to do this, it is in you
already; all you have to do is start moving. If you prefer
more interaction, take a class one night a week.
In most cities, you can find everything from modern dance to
African dance to ballroom and salsa. Whatever you choose,
you won't regret choosing to rediscover
your birthright-the healing, joyful thrill of dancing.
