Ecstatic dance, manipulating emotions, visualisation

[skydog]

If one spontaneously moves in the dan tien, this is great in itself.

 

But a practice that is also powerful for both the soul and morality is to focus on feelings while dancing.

 

For example

 

Love- Loving my brother, when we were both children playing, defending him, my dad, my mum in the womb, aunt, uncles, grandparents, friends etc.

 

(which makes one start to cry) and heal

 

Desire- sort of a law of attraction thing, one can focus on what would bring one more joy and realise their hidden desires and manifest them...eg the raindance, by visualising joy and excitement and feeling doing these things, it makes one feel great like one actually do these things.

This may be analogous to a technique taught by Don Juan Matus and described by the shamans of Mexico as recapitulating, which is activating "one of the most remarkable items we all have, as warriors, to focus our attention with unwavering force on events lived."

 

His method involved rhythmic breathing while gently moving the head from side to side while recapitulating any event desired, called "fanning the event". How wonderful to do this as a dancer, sinansencer!

 

Evidently there are lovely side-effects too~ ❤

Interesting

[skydog]

So when you recapitulate the event, do you go over it and change the event, making it how you would have prefered sending love to it?

 

and thanks

 

new technique to add to that..

 

cheers

For anyone interested this is best done listening to some kind of spirited music such as drumming music, african drumming, disney songs, sufi music, reggae, psychadelic music, jazz, feng shui music etc, maybe live music, maybe in a group, maybe outdoors, maybe by trees/mountain in a high energy spot...with some shaking involved (not trying to force too much if you have the shake but yeh trying to fake it if you dont have this shake).

 

I feel it is important to cool down afterwards lying on the ground, maybe even front first (earthing)

 

I dont think it is neccessary to do this very often but it sure is fun.. Emptiness/oneness and calm induces an effect which helps for kindness more in my opinion. But all these opinions are subject to conceptual arguments.

oh and sillyness, playfulness helps

I feel your own exploration in your own style is determining what is most effective for you~ I'll mention a bit of the technique of the shamans of Mexico as an aside …but I wouldn't dream of making comparisons with the living awareness you are activating❤

 

In recollecting physical details and the environment, the one(s) with whom there was interaction, and the feelings present, the breath is used to eject residual foreign energy from the event being recapitulated and also to pull back energy that was left behind during the original event.

 

Shamans used recapitulation as a ploy to induce a minute but steady displacement of the assemblage point (something it seems you are accomplishing). Under the impact of reviewing past actions and feelings, the assemblage point goes back and forth between its present site and the site it occupied when the event being recapitulated took place. Sorcerers believe the source of emanations (referred to as the Eagle) can be satisfied with facsimiles of our own life experience: hence the recapitulation.

 

The dissolving force of the source of all awareness gets what it wants: our life's experience, and wizards get what they want: freedom to expand their capacity to perceive and reach and fly on the wings of intent.

 

What you are doing may serve this purpose well~ it doesn't need to be for any reason other than perhaps it is time to effect the recollecting. It seems I accomplish similar effects during certain kinds of spontaneous meditative states where everyone I conjure in detail, in turns, dissolves or melts or opens into empty activated potential … in order to clarify presence and open it to incipient movements of potential. It can be some sort of preliminary lead-up to other states or sometimes not.

 

I don't know if what you or I do in these recollecting states produces identical effects as the recapitulation practice of the shamans of ancient Mexico, as there doesn't seem to be a strategic motive in conjuring these freeing experiences, but the similarities are worth mentioning. 仙
