Primal Dance Therapy

I apologize that many of you have been unsuccessful in giving me feedback. I unknowingly had the wrong setting on my blog. Soon as I was told of this I got help to change the settings as I would really appreciate your feedback to help this blog become an interactive experience.

Please let me know if you ould like to hear more about certain subject matters or if you have something to share. The comments are not going to be edited except for “unrelated comments”.

I had a chance to attend the Sustainable Cosmetic Conference in New York City last week and took the opportunity to stay for the New Life Expo , http://www.newlifeexpo.com/newhome.php , on the following weekend. I am a big fan of the Whole Life Expo, http://www.wholelifecanada.com/ , here in Toronto and love walking through to discover useful healthy food and time proven alternative therapies. But most so called "Health & Wellness" Shows are too “fringe” for me with the usual psychics and esoteric healers selling "miraculous" supplements and unattractive wire pyramids and other questionable devices.

My perusal of the program ahead of attending the show made the New Life Expo seemed heavy on the subject of “energy” with seminars like “I put a Spell on You and Now You are Mine: I put a Spell on You and It is Strong” and “Lemurian Seed Crystals, Sacred Tools for Personal Transformation“. When I entered the Expo, I felt visually crowded by the small, unattractive booths of mostly “snake oil” type products.

But I am glad I visited the Expo, as my picks for seminars helped to increase my personal awareness. My first class was “Primal Dance.” This dance therapy was taught by Heidi McClure of Spirit Freedom, http://spiritfreedom.net/about.html . She is the dancer in the photo above.

Based on the belief that our bodies hold emotional memories from our experiences starting from the womb until the present, Heidi lead us through dances where we released our physical body parts. These exercises helped us become aware of which areas were negatively affected by past emotions. We became aware of how the effects of past experiences affected our postures and our movements. In that short hour, I understood how the emotional affects on the body lead to a legacy of illness. I love the idea of how fun exercise like dance could also improve my knowledge of my emotional life. I didn’t even mind dancing to Madonna’s “Like a Pray”. As one who loves a good "2 for 1", I plan to use my next vacation learning from her in NYC.

In my next blogs I will intend to share with you other interesting seminars like "Yoga and Digestion" with Dee Dee Benray, the Yoga Master in the book, Aveda Rituals , http://www.amazon.ca/Aveda-Rituals-Natural-Health-Beauty/dp/0805058001 , and how a lower body temperature can cause you illnesses like Cancer, Diabetes, and Thyroid Disease with Dr Tasumura Hillyer, http://www.cancercontrolsociety.com/bio2008/hillyer.htm . If you like, I can also report on how you can use semi-precious and prescious gems for self transformation and to protect you from negative energy. Let me know your interests.
