I've started helping put together music for a few 5Rhythms classes and being the DJ, standing behind the music mixer, is a whole new world. The first night I had this huge realization that it truly is SO difficult to show up and move (even though my teacher Sara has probably said something to this effect 50 times in my presence). I could see how we all show up desiring to dance and most of us barely move! We need each other and the music to help us step out of our patterns, move in new ways, and reconnect to our core, our two feet, our heart...and REALLY MOVE! It amazes me.
This past Sunday I also realized how special the moments are when we receive and give gifts. A person I had never met handed me a chocolate bar (while I was at the DJ stand) and in that prized moment I realized all of the reasons we give gifts (to say thank you, to be seen, to honor someone, to love, to communicate, to connect). I also realized that the moments themselves - when I have been given gifts or given a gift - are some of the most special moments I've had in my life. That exchange of love sticks with me.
