Energy Trance Dance

The Ceremony of Trance Dance

Ancient wisdom to release modern day illnesses and illusions.

Today’s people forgot how to move the body for meditation, for healing and prayer in sacred ceremonies. From young age we now slough behind computers, move around in cars, our spines growing stiff and old, our bodies are fat with little vitality. Modern life is stripped bare from sacred ceremonies or we have festivities without deep meaning filled with consumption of material goods. Living in a concrete jungle under constant pressure, breathing in polluted air, we forgot how to communicate with our friends, the animals, the rocks, the standing people (the trees), the spirit guides of the seen and unseen worlds and thus making it difficult almost impossible to deeply connect with ourselves, our own spirit.

The ceremony of Trance Dance is ancient, tracing its origins many thousands of years ago, it still exists today in indigenous cultures. Our ancestors danced in trance for visions, for healing and prayer, to clear obstacles on their path, to understand the ways of the gods, to create and manifest for themselves and their communities. Moving in trance they also celebrated life itself.

Trance
The state of trance means that our brain waves are at a frequency of Theta, as opposed to the Beta waves which is for daily activity and Alpha wave which is the relaxed state. In the Theta state the emotional and intuitive processes come to the foreground, and far memory and non-linear creativity will be awakened, enabling us to seek healing and receive visions.

How do we enter the state of trance
While in the ancient days we danced for days to perform the ceremony and reach a state of trance, with Energy Trance Dance we combine various elements enabling to enter this state rapidly making Trance Dance accessible for all of us.

The various elements by themselves are strong enough to create a different level of awareness, combined they are even more powerful and establish a state of trance in a short period of time.

Intention
It is important to make your intent clear before we move, to have a focused intent. Energy follows intent, where you put your attention & focus the energy will follow. When it is clear and focussed everything can work with and for you, making it easy to manifest your visions and prayers. Ask for guidance with intent pure and it shall be given.

Breath
Breath, without breath there is no life, inspirata, inspire, inhale, inhale the spirit, be inspired, breathe and increase your life energy. By using a special breathing method, the breath of fire, we assist the body to bypass the rational mind.

In the dark
We use a bandana so you can dance with eyes closed, allowing to go deep within yourself, to travel into the various dimensions, no distractions from the outside world. Making connection with your spirit, encountering any shadows and fears you might have to befriend them so they will loose their grip on you.

Dance
Movement, let the body guide you, let the spirit move you, the body has its own wisdom let her tell and guide you where and how to move. Still the minds chatter, move freely without preconceived ideas or expectations, no one is watching or judging you. In moving the body in free form we let go of stress. Illness and pain is stagnant energy, this can be released in the movements allowing the body to heal itself. Each ceremony is unique, so every dance will be unique, let go of expectations about yourself and your body.

Sound
By using the frequency of the music and the beat of the drum, this sound will impact the brainwaves vibrating from Beta to Alpha and to Theta waves. On the sound of the drum and percussion you can enter the trance, the dream world and make the journey, always follow the sound, travel on the beat of the drum and move or be still.

Modern day use of the ceremony
We as modern people can access our ancient wisdom though the ceremony of Energy Trance Dance and through simply remembering. We can perform the ceremony for endless reasons, to seek healing for the body, mind and spirit, for visions and direction, to create clarity in relationships and work issues. Dance together with colleagues before you work on projects, dance together to create stronger teams, seek vision how to move towards the goals of a group. Let go of unwanted behaviour and various addictions. Dance with loved ones to create stronger bonds and let go of unimportant difficulties and struggles of the personalities, move together beyond the illusion of separation. Perform the ceremony to celebrate the joy of being alive, move to support and ease times of changes and transformation in your life.

The beauty of the ceremony of Trance Dance is that it is simple and we all can do it, the very young the very old, people from al different paths of life. All you need is the willingness to let go of the chattering mind and to trust in the wisdom of your body and spirit, trusting in the power and medicine of this time tested ceremony.

We will facilitate and hold the ceremony and we will support you in any way we can. In sharing after the ceremony we can ground the experience and get to understand the wisdom it holds for us. For me personal, the wisdom and healing I found trough moving in trance dance has been many and plentiful. Over the years I have learned to trust and respect the process, to totally accept the wisdom of the guidance given in the dance.
