The Joy Of Movement ~ sensing universal Joy
Class today was focused on this triad. I invited the students to choose sensation, make it pleasurable, if it wasn’t what they ultimately wanted for pleasure sensation, they were to tweak it and choose something else until pleasure was in their grasp. Choose, sustain, increase, tweak as necessary…
The routine was R1. I like this routine for a study in Joy of Movement and tapping into Universal Joy because right from the get go, it’s about being part of the ONE. We are all connected. We Are All Connected – the very first song. We are connected to one another, to Universal Joy whether or not we know it. Sometimes practicing that we know it is all you can do, but eventually you believe it and be it. The conscious connection of front to back, site to side, up to down, in to out, reminds me that the whole body is one and to pleasure one part of my body means the whole body is being pleasured. To make pleasure in my body means that I raise the pleasure vibration of my students (and friends and family), my classroom, my city, my country, my world, my universe, which happens to be everyone else’s universe too.

Isn’t it time that you felt better? Seasonal changes might cause a little discomfort – as all changes do – but then suddenly you’re in the midst of a beautifully transformed environment. You may have allergies. You may hate the cold weather. You may even be dreading that yearly blue feeling that comes with less daylight. But, BUT, look around you! Colors are everywhere, the air smells different, there are new options in the produce department, there are even new shoe styles to take advantage of. Change isn’t that bad. If you are in doubt that change can feel good, read on. You may have to seek no further than your own body to enjoy the fall of this year (and every year from now on). This month’s Suzworks focus is on self-healing. In Nia, we use X-Ray Anatomy for this purpose. X-Ray Anatomy is more than just knowing your bones, muscles and organs. It’s using your knowledge of those things to sense deeper into yourself, to know more, to feel better, to turn up the pleasure dial, to increase the intensity of the joy of living in your body the way it is today; at your age, in this season, with your current circumstances. If your “circumstances” include some challenges, look inward for a cure/solution. Your body is designed to seek and keep pleasure. Use your practice of being in sensation to seek and keep yourpleasure state.
