Inevitable

Rawhana the evil demon & his consort the Golden Deer

To dance means to be new
to be fresh at every moment
As though one had just issued life
from the hand of God.

Rahwana intoxicating the Golden Deer with his evil spells

Dancing is a relatively safe form of intoxication.

The Golden Deer prepares for her capture of the Goddess Sita

Compare the dancer to a flame,
to any phenomenon that is visibly sustained
by the intense consumption of a superior energy.

Temple Dancing is an ancient method of manifestation,
a means of praying through the body.
Offered as a ritual as well as a philosophy for living.

It is the process of connecting to your essence,
creating intentions in the mind,
feeling the intentions within your heart,
and joyously dancing your dreams into form.
This ecstatic experience will surely take you to new levels,
realizing your life is a constant creation.

Your desires can easily be attained as you align the higher mind
with the eternal grace of your heart inside the temple of creation,
your glorious body.

Sitting in meditation
connect to your Soul & Creator
perhaps amidst lush music
call upon your dream

Begin with an offering
offer love
material treasures
the highest thoughts & more

Offer Gratitude

Now move into the dance of sacrifice
giving up what no longer serves for transformation
recycling into higher light

Now move into the dance of Shakti
honoring the unseen, the infinite potential
all as Love and Yes!
This can also be a dance of the Mother
Feminine Lover & Beautiful Earth

Move into the dance of Shiva
the dance of new creations
shaping dreams into light and form
Creativity in its fullest!
This can also be a dance of the Father
Male Love & Cosmic Brilliance.

Now culminate this dance of bliss
with the dance of Oneness
knowing all exists
knowing all is possible
Simply dancing more impossibility
into pure possibility

Dancing with the ancestors
divine guidance
and all beings

with gratitude, joy, and ecstasy

And so it is!

May you dance your dreams
into living breathing truths!
