Do you ever have days where it feels like you are going against the tide all day? Or even weeks? Do you take time out to have a ‘pity party?’ To rest, rejuvenate and renew?
I definitely have days like that, yet they are few and far between now. Many years of practice have taught me to shift the tide early in the game of defense, letting things roll off my back, bounce over me, circle around me.
In Nia, we call this Aikido Energy… going with the flow and letting negative or defensive energy flow past without resistance. Its amazing how this practice has helped me deal with daily ups and downs. I’m aware of the Universal current that is always present, flowing and taking me where I need to go. When I resist, and attempt to control what is going on, the situation inevitably goes awry, taking a wrong turn as I sail along, and I end up capsized.
Ride the tide with me this week on the dance floor. Work with the energy, instead of against it… notice how things shift around you, dancing with ease.
We will dance Bailando in Nia, counting down to Portland and the filming!
