Music and Movement creating the Magic!

Happy Weekend Nia Friends!

I am in Oklahoma, returning to San Antonio tomorrow. I have had a wonderful weekend with three of my children, being pampered, loved, and truly enJOYing where they are in life. Independent, creative, self-assured, happy… I am filled with so many blessings.

All of my children have amazing ears for music and a love of so many genres. One of the many pleasures I experience when we get together is turning each other on to the latest artists we have discovered, and it goes both ways. Music is always playing in everyone’s house. They all grew up surrounded by music, with mother always dancing, and its fun to see the evolution in their lives… its truly Magic!

We view Nia through the triad of Music, Movement and Magic. Music is the canvas upon which the body moves. Magic is what happens inside of us. In class, when we connect music and movement, magic is created.

Every cell in our body is an ear, a sensory receptor that can hear. As we use our body to listen to music, sound impacts us on a kinesthetic level. Our body instinctively responds to the music it hears, and if left to its natural impulses, will move effortlessly to it.

I love to watch babies in their cribs or little children toddling around when music is played… their bodies move in a beautiful dance of life, responding to the vibrations of the music. Check out this video I posted on Facebook! It makes me laugh every time I see it. Talk about Magic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwOj57XVoaI

The sound of music is one of the most powerful underlying creative forces in our universe. It is a powerful resonance that lies deep within the very heart of creation and existence. It is considered to be one of the oldest healing forms used by the Greeks, Chinese, East Indians, Tibetans, Egyptians, American Indians, Mayas, Incas and Aztecs. Music is tangible!

Sound vibrates our nervous system and creates sensation in our body. The physical resonance in our body creates energy and triggers chemical responses that have both positive and negative effects on the body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Music touches souls and awakens spirits.
