I must admit I've struggled with what I call the hills and valleys. There is this desire to always feel "good" and never feel "bad" - but really how boring would that actually be to live in the mundane middle ground. And honestly just not possible.

Honoring the ebb and flow is the key and the challenge. I'm working on it.

interesting!

I had never thought of it that way. But yes- I definitely have different BPM's... but I try to balance them out...

Music has always been such an emotional and moving part- whether it be jazz, heavy metal, salsa (WISH i could dance that way).
It's why I always wished I had body rhythm to DANCE... as music moves me so much.

perhaps playing the guitar- slow and fast depending and belting my little heart out helps :)

I'm trying. I'm trying.

I can honestly say that one of the best things I've learned in life so far is to accept the natural ebbs and flows of my inner rhythms, which are always changing, rarely achieving a state of balance, but make life interesting. Great post, I like your recent thoughts on dance and life.

Great post! I am a huge fan of creating your own rhythm. Honoring what "need" comes in the moment and following that. I used to go pretty fast. Now I go slow. A big fall (with head injury) invited me to slow way down. At first, I resisted. But going slow has tremendous benefits, new ways of seeing and being in the world. But it IS all about listening to what your spirit is calling you to and honoring that. I am so glad you are doing this, Christine. Salsa away!
