The dance of the Earth evokes the report to the soil and to anchor. Explore this element that connects us to the roots, to the interiority reassuring and fertility and Mother Earth.

Dance to the Earth, to meet its roots 

Look at our roots. The consciousness is directed to the feet and the contact with the ground. The root softens the notion of contact with the depths, because his role is going to look deep into the soil to bring them back to the trunk and leaves of the nutrients necessary for the development. It is a virtuous circle. She also invites to the perception of the ground as a safe space and allowing any time to return to the anchor and the concrete. 

A session of dance therapy can be dizzying : it is therefore essential to propose key to return to the material for the students. The physical contact with the soil is a part of these safety devices. Moreover, to stimulate the touch through the thematic of the Earth promotes the feeling of anchor. Automassage, for example, allows you to play with the body as with a material that is malleable, clay, or clay. We brought a report playful touch.

Find a space of security and fertility in its Cave, inner

Down in the depths with the roots, it progressively comes into contact with the Cave, the protected area of our essence. The Cave is the place of intimacy, the secret place in which you take refuge and guarantees the security. The awareness session allows you to return at any time, if the experience is too intense or simply because one is tired. We may, in independence, retire in our space of homeland security if you feel the need. In the Cave sleeps also the Bear, the defender inside of our integrity.

In the Cave are also all the seeds of our resources, waiting to be planted and watered to germinate. We put ourselves in contact with our tools, our strengths and our dreams. We can thus initiate from the Cave to a dynamic ascent to break through the surface of the earth and unfold to the world. The Earth is a symbol of fertility, abundance and luxuriance : the contact between the depths and the outside world is permanent.

How to embody the dance of the Earth ?

At the body level, the energy is concentrated in the feet. There is an awareness on the body weight and the effect of gravity by movements of swinging. The legs are bent, the muscles of the thighs engaged. The upper body is relaxed, relaxed. The head follows the movement of the pendulum with the release of the nape of the neck. One hand close to the ground, and it brought up the energy from the soles of the feet to the legs, and then in the pelvis, spine, shoulder and arm to the tip of your fingers, until finally the root of the hair. The body deploys such a plant and just connect to the sky, to the sun, to the light. Because the plant derives its nutrients from the soil, but also in the light of the sun ! 

The Earth is, finally, an Element reminiscent of many images scent : the smell of the earth returned, of cut grass or the smell of flowers. It connects us to the proliferation of life and a feeling of abundance. It is an energy of quiet strength, deployment, powerful and confident, self-confidence and in its inner resources.
