Sensing Harmony (vibin' wk 4)

This week, we’ll wrap up our focus of connecting with the music by focusing on the delicious sensation of harmony. As we dance (or move through life), we’ll simply practice being in harmony of the music (and the world around us).

One of my favorite things about the word harmony is that when I think of it, I think of many unique layers contributing to something bigger. For example, in a song, the band members aren’t simply playing and amplifying the exact same note…. they each provide their own unique sounds and vibrations. Altogether, the combination creates a beautifully rich, full, textured experience that is so very pleasing to be immersed in.

As we dance with beautifully textured songs, we have a variety of different instruments, sounds, and textures to be able to connect with.We can move with the bass... or the shaker… voices… piano... drums…… A whole smorgasbord of possible connections awaits! We don’t even need to limit ourselves to just one sound at a time… Our feet might dance with the drums as our hands follow the swirling of the strings. Perhaps our voice also sings along with the lyrics. So many possibilities for connection all at once…. Ahhh! I love it so much!

This week in class, we’ll once again enjoy those opportunities for connection… but we can also zoom out even further and notice how we ourselves can contribute to the broader harmony of the whole. And in the same way that each unique band instrument creates a beautiful important layer, we too —by contributing our uniqueness as we dance and sing— contribute to the experience. Whether it is the unique way we are moving, the smiles we share, the notes we sing, the reflections we share after class, the way we peacefully hold space for one another… We each contribute to the vibe. Our unique individual layer provides additional depth, texture, and opportunities for connection (both in class and beyond).

I mean... how cool is that?

So yep… this week is once again all about the vibes, man…. :)  

As always, can’t wait to see what we discover. See you soon!
