The Mermaid's Prayer - Reverence for Nature and Self

This is a moving meditation combining breath and solar plexus consciousness, stretching, and dynamic interaction with the wind and waves. Isadora Duncan (of whom I am a devotee) was on to something when she “discovered my dance by the seaside.... and it was a Prayer.“ She wrote: “With the strengthening of the breeze over the seas, the waters form in long undulations. Of all movement which gives us delight and satisfies the soul's sense of movement, that of the waves of the sea seems to me the finest. This great wave movement runs through all Nature, for when we look over the waters to the long line of hills on the shore, they seem also to have the great undulating movement of the Sea; and all movements in Nature seem to me to have as their ground-plan the Law of Wave Movement.“ - “The Art of the Dance“. Thus inspired by the great Isadora and the even greater Mother Nature, I distilled within myself this blend of movement and devotion. I offer it to women everywhere, in the spirit of the Dancer of the Future - “one whose body and soul have grown so harmoniously together that the natural language of that soul will have become the language of the body.“ The Mermaid's Prayer is part of a series of Moving Meditations I've named “Feminine Alchemy“. I teach the workshop series all over the world. Please visit my website, to learn more.
