Good beautiful morning!
I woke up at 5:15, put on my soft comfy robe, tasted two wonderful cups of coffee, sat outside and watched the sun rise as I listened to the birds singing, splashed my body with water, slipped on my smooth work-out clothes, took my dogs on a walk as the leashes pulled against my skin and sticker-burrs scratched my legs walking through tall grass, felt the cold steel of weights as I worked out, held my new slick binder while waiting in line at Office Max to check out, enjoyed the flavors of a breakfast taco as I traveled home… and then tasted another cup of coffee as I sat in my backyard enjoying the many colors of my garden and the cool breeze on my skin… all before 10:00am!
Touch comes in many forms… feeling, tasting, watching, listening, absorbing… the power of touch is a gift.
We had a wonderful, inspirational week of dancing the routine Miracle, and focusing on ‘touch,’ one of Nia’s 52 moves. Every class came out different… lots of emotions, expression, love and grace. Thank you for sharing your dance with me, and the power of your touch… wow… our closing circle in every class was a true gift for me… of receiving.
One of the reasons I am still so passionate about Nia 14 years after my first class, is that she is ever-changing, evolving, transforming and creating opportunities for me to learn and grow as a person, while also making a difference in others’ lives. Nia has 52 moves. 7 cycles, 5 sensations, 52 principles, numerous routines, and an endless number of foci that keep me in sensation… living in my body. Add on the mental challenges, emotional strengthening, and expression of spirit… no wonder “Nians” look so young and happy!
As Joanie and I prepare for our White Belt in Ventura, CA, we are reviewing some of the routines that we will be teaching the community there. Join me tomorrow (Tuesday) at 6:45 for Earthsong, Wednesday 9:15 for Vibe, and Friday at 5:30 for R1.
I will continue my focus on “the power of touch” for all of these routines. You can experience how one focus can change and mold a routine and how we teach them… fun for me too!
Touch… my body is hyper-sensitive to touching the world, and touching within… after bringing in that focus last week. I look forward to going deeper with you.
Sending a healing touch filled with warm love your way… Adelle
