All sounds, from a whisper to a classical symphony, arise out of silence and disappear into silence. Silence is always there beneath sound and is the space where sound can exist. We tend to think of silence as the absence of sound, but silence has its own weight and quality. When you listen to silence, you can perceive its intense depth and power. Taking the time to experience silence calms the mind and rejuvenates the body. Silence is the void where we can hear the many sounds that we often ignore – the voice of our intuition telling us the truth, the sound of the breeze blowing, the soft whisper of our breath, and the noises we make just because we are alive.
This week’s dance… ChakraDancer... the culmination of focusing on heart opening, eyes opening, breath opening… a beautiful routine in silence. I will not be speaking, so you can experience the resonance of the music, your breath, and your magic. I will be queuing with my breath, as the music takes us on a journey through the energy centers of the body… each song dedicated to a Chakra.
ChakraDancer is a beautiful, grounding routine and I hope you will join me this week… sound would not exist without silence. It is vast and potent.
Loving the silence, Adelle
