OM DETTA AVSNITT
So many of us have become disconnected from our bodies–pushing through exhaustion; ignoring our physical cues for hunger, thirst, or rest; and numbing emotions with food, work, or social media.
This week, I sit down with Toni Bergins, M.Ed., founder and director of JourneyDance®, to explore how body movement through dance can be a pathway to reconnect with your body, express emotions, release old trauma, and step into to your joy, authenticity, sensuality, and power.
Key Takeaways:
Dance as Deep Healing: Movement isn’t just physical, it’s a pathway to emotional release, spiritual awakening, and self-connection.
Safe Containers for Vulnerability: Through a guided process like JourneyDance®, you can safely explore and release your emotions–joy, anger, and even rage–and start to heal old patterns.
Empowerment Through Expression: The act of honoring your feelings is the key to inhabiting your body and living authentically.
“We’ve been told to be smaller, quieter, and less emotional. Dance gives us permission to be big, bold, and beautifully alive. Movement is the medicine that allows emotions to move through us instead of staying stuck in us. Every emotion has a place–rage, grief, joy, sensuality” – Toni Burgins
