Water, by its fluidity and its mass hypnotic, invites you to a journey into the depths of the psyche and emotions. It is a synonym of cleansing and purification, and is absolutely necessary for life. She, however, is in itself the paradox of death and destruction. The multiplicity of its forms makes this element rich symbolic meanings. Let's explore together.

The imaginary of the Water

The ocean is, for example, the symbol par excellence of the dive into the abyss of the psyche. In the midst of the ocean gave rise to the first forms of life, so that we can contact the source of our memories of the psyche. The absolute quiet of the depths invites introspection and contemplation of the currents of his unconscious.

Under the form of a river, the Water invites us to a journey between the worlds, upper and lower, between the living world and the beyond. It represents a vector, a path in which flows the fluidity of life. Invite them to enter into the river, it is to listen to the current. It is felt if one gives up or if we try to go back, and observe what follows from these experiences. 

Water connects us to our emotions

Water evokes the crying and the tears, of joy, of anger, of sadness. She called to the expression and experience of emotions. The Fish, in astrology, are the sign master of the emotional feeling and connection to his emotions. The water consists, moreover, 70% of the human : reconnect with nature liquid allows to streamline the circulation of the energies, emotions and thoughts in and of itself, and it facilitates the letting go. The Water element is associated with the sacral chakra, located at the level of the lower abdomen.

How to dance the Water ?

You can experiment with the Water in your body through fluid movements and circular.

Move your pelvis, the seat of the sacral chakra, in circles and in " eight ", connects you to the continuous movement of the current.

Your arms mimicked the direction and intensity of currents and waves.

I invite you to stay rather slow, to foster self-discovery and letting go of the mind in intuitive gestures, almost meditative. 

Your spine arches to the image of the energy flow in the body. 

The twists are always welcome as they allow exploration of the most comprehensive of its kinésphère, and echoes of his mental space.
