The Spiral… the oldest symbol known to be used in spiritual practices, reflects the universal pattern of growth and evolution, the universal symbol for the spiritual journey. Reflected in the natural world, the Spiral is found in human physiology, plants, mineral, animals, energy patterns, and weather. Spiral forms are seen in nature from the great galaxies of outer space, to dust devils or whirlwinds, tornadoes, whirlpools, coiled snakes, conical seashells, new fern shoots, to the tips of the fingers, our fingerprints. Modern science has discovered the double helix structure of our DNA, the very architecture of every cell in the body!
The Spiral is a sacred symbol that reminds us of our evolving journey in life, and the one constant… change. The acceptance of change is one of the greatest freedoms a human can experience, living in the present moment.
From a child, when doodling, I’ve always drawn spirals, over and over connecting them on my paper. My first silkscreen design for my fabric creations was a series of spirals. Nine years ago, when I was designing the logo for The Synergy Studio, a spiral with stars evolved. I love Spirals!
This last weekend at the studio, we explored and discovered the new Nia routine Awake with other Nia teachers from around Texas. The focus of this routine is Spirals, Spine, and Space. It was a wonderful weekend of community and sharing, and I am deeply grateful for this lifestyle practice we call Nia. For me, Nia is the key to the door of change, evolution, growth, transformation, the Spirals of life itself.
Join me this week as we dance our DNA, focusing on Spirals, Spine, and Space. By dancing the very architecture of the body, the architecture of life itself, we open the door to the freedom of change, evolution, space itself. AWAKEn your journey!
With deep love in the Spiral, Adelle
