Dancing transforms, heals, and connects us to the divine! As we dance we breathe. Breathe is our life force. There are so many different moments in our day-to-day that we get to dance. Embrace the moment and dance happily and gain little positive energy too. We are raising our natural energy and emotions through the Universe to our bodies. Dancing is one of the ways to get positive energy, and seeing you dance can send good vibes to someone. Listening or dancing to music, such as the beating of drums, can energize your physical body. There are many health benefits to regular dancing. It is a great tool for losing weight, maintaining strong bones, improving posture and muscle strength. It can also help with increasing balance and coordination and mental health. We get the positive energy when we dance by setting aside all our shyness and loneliness. Music affects us positively or negatively. Certain sounds can stimulate an emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual response. When you dance, it attracts positive energy which is a natural motivator. Energy is about how the movement happens. ALL dances use the element of energy. An arm gesture can be free-flowing or harsh. It can be powerful or gentle. It can be fast-paced or slow and seductive. There are so many different types of dance. From cultural dance, ceremonial dance, and of course dancing for fun. Cultural dance is also known as folk dancing is a style of dance that is traditional to the region of the dance. Cultural dances usually tell a story of either the village, religion, family, or simply that person's journey. It is important that you observe, and respect the dance. It is also important that you take the time to gain knowledge and ask before you join. Ceremonial and cultural dance can at times blend. This is because often there are certain rituals that people use to help their lives. For example, they use rituals for hunting, harvesting, and even war. To prepare for those things they combine dance with their rituals to raise energy for the anticipation of the event. Even now while I grind my herbs I always do a little dance to raise the energy that I am putting into them. The dance is a poem of which each movement is a word.

As a mom of three boys who go to public school I started to notice that some things were not being taught in detail so I decided to create lessons for them. Many of these lessons cover science, history and of information about Paganism. I share crafts for the all different holidays and cultures as ways that they can learn and have fun at the same time.
