DANCE PRANCE TO WELLNESS
Movements in Rhythm and flow can change the state of mind, in times of being upset, disrupted, disturbed… to bring it back in order from dis-order, from dis-ease to ease , from getting disoriented to being oriented in harmony and rhythm.
Combination of mind, body and soul is movements in flow and rhythm.
Rhythms and Flow is a state of being in which a person becomes fully immersed in an activity seamlessly.
And the mind consists of mental states such as thoughts, emotions, beliefs, attitudes, images, perceptions and perspectives. The brain is the hardware that allows us to process and experience these mental states.
When we are in flow, we circulate better. When we are in rhythm and put flow together, not just the circulations of all the essential secretions of the body hormones. Others such as blood, air, oxygen and flow of creativity also happens. So the past remains past, and the future remains in the future when you are in rhythm and flow. The thoughts of the past completely dissolve and the absolute awareness with dance in rhythm and flow brings you into here – now. In here - now there’s always bliss, harmony, joy, because the whole existence converges in that one moment. And in this convergence there is celebration and where there is celebration - of course there is no pain, hurt, no depression, nothing of the past.. Be in here-now in continuity so rhythm & flow are like medicine. Dance with the flow, dance in rhythm.
Dance becomes a means of connecting to broader meanings and deeper emotional experiences—particularly ones associated with optimism.
Dancing is good for the brain, observing that professional dance requires high levels of cognitive development as well as physical training and neurobics. Dance-based movements can help synchronize people with one another- Entrainment theory, dissolve depression, and improve quality of life. Dancing improves creativity and even reading skills.

Breath work with dance of the body can change the hormonal function of the body, especially in trance, in dance…
Breathing patterns calm the nervous system that controls the body's voluntary and involuntary functions. The more integrated your breathing is, the more relaxed and present you will feel, fully alive!
Regulated breathing can cause physiological changes that include: regulated blood pressure and heart rate and reduced levels of stress hormones in us. Breathwork with movement in tandem can resolve psychological pain, soften character armour, release muscular and joint tension in the body, and create a sense of embodiment of soundness, oneness , organic unity and equanimity.
People who practice breath work describe feeling tingling sensations throughout their body, feelings of clarity, alertness, increased mind-body connection, and even emotional purging happens.
When you become stressed or anxious, your brain releases cortisol, the “stress hormone.” By taking deep breaths, your heart rate gets into rhythm; more oxygen enters our blood stream and ultimately communicates with the brain to relax and vitalize the whole being.Deep breathing also ups your endorphins, the “feel good” chemical, which not only helps create a euphoric feeling, but also copes with pain. It reduces tensions, creates feelings of openness, love, peace, gratitude, clarity, communication, and connection with the inner rhythm. Breath work also helps release trauma of mental, physical, and emotional blocks, as well as anxiety, depression, fear, grief, and anger.
As it turns out, deep breathing is not only relaxing, it's been scientifically proven to positively affect the heart, the brain, digestion, the immune system and much more, -- and maybe even the expression of our genes.
Breath work of a dance can also improve immunity.
The music and the movements put together when synchronized with rhythm and flow, one internalizes the sense of joy, joy of being, rhythm of the beats of music and its high and low notes creates a kind of spiritual symphony with heightened awareness. And happy hormones with energy hormones begin to dance also...This gives rise to organic unity of the cellular community for immunity of humanity. Relaxed breathing enhances the immune system, assists in the absorption of nutrients and proteins, supports bone growth, and boosts overall cellular health in the body.
Deep breathing in brings fresh oxygen and exhales out toxins and carbon dioxide. When the blood is oxygenated, it ensures smoother functioning of your vital organs, including the immune system. A cleaner, toxin-free and healthier blood supply helps ward off infection-causing germs from the lungs and strengthens your immunity..
Reduces Inflammation- Deep breathing is said to reduce the acidity in your body, thereby making it alkaline. Stress also increases acid levels in the body. Breathing also reduces stress therefore acidity.Reducing chronic inflammation is an important part of improving your overall health and extending longevity. Visualisation and relaxation exercises, and breath holding calms the body by activating the rest and digest response reducing stress and removing one of the key stimuli for inflammation and activating the rest and digest system.
Improves digestion- Physical activity increases blood flow to the muscles in the digestive system, which massage our food along the digestive tract-a process known as peristalsis- causing them to work more quickly and effectively. Research also suggests that exercise affects the balance of bacteria in the gut.Diaphragmatic breathing and abdominal locks with kegel , expansion/contraction massage the visceral organs, increasing the digestion and release of hormones and enzymes, fears, phobias.
Transformation happens to the mind and spirit by listening to sound of music while dancing.
The alignment of the ragas with the time of the day and its association with emotions. Any soothing music which is free of cacophony sets the stage for spiritual and physical healing… Scientific research has shown that a person’s mind significantly influences physical health and the ability to contract or fight disease. So, anything that impacts the mind will have a deep impact on the body as well.
Music, due to its primordial origins, has potential to bring us closer to our inner being. Besides mood transforming powers, music has powerful effects on a person’s ability to be super conscious, as it makes us more sensitive. Music powerfully aids healing processes to kick in. Because when we engage with music, we are undertaking a journey deep into our inner selves…
Dance can improve elimination of toxins.
Any form of exercise …any form of movements, any form of workouts… where there is stretch, bouncing, contraction, movements forward – backwards, turning, twisting … circulation gets a big boost. The metabolism and physiology gets - up regulated. There’s sweating, elimination of toxins starts happening.… of course heat is generated when you dance. And obviously all organs begin to ooze out toxins. And all impurities are purged out through the systems of elimination.
Dopamine is the reward hormone. Music increases dopamine levels, which is also released by spontaneous body movements—like dancing.
Oxytocin is the connection hormone, and is released when we physically come in contact with or bond with other people, both intimately and socially.
Serotonin allows us to feel emotional contentment and ease. Dance and exercise release serotonin. Adequate serotonin levels have been shown to shown to clean off resentment, hatred which releases weight from my mind.
Dance addresses your emotions, hurt, pain, depression, it release pain & brings you joy.
Dance normally happens with music, so whether it is Touch, Taste, Audio, Visuals, Fragrance …When all this come together ...when all the senses are stimulated …the simulations of senses bring about a sense of upliftment of emotions .When your emotions are uplifted the lows of life dissolves and the mood elevator hormones are triggered and you begin to feel the upper high of life. The upper high of life is with the intoxication of the sound of music.. Music peps you. The beats, the melody, the harmony, the symphony of music, the decoding and the impact of the words … literally transforms the mindsets from pain- hurt to joy ..From low to high…and from disturbance, to vibrance and radiance.
It is a kind of deep meditation giving rise to spiritual celebration. The state of celebration is the best substitute for medicine. Dis-order to order…and dis-ease to ease. Once again a state of celebration and joy become medicinal in nature…releasing healing chemicals in our blood stream.
Celebration Maximized...Get Rhythmized…Get Mickeymized!!!
