Close your eyes
Let emotions flow
Lift your arms,
Hold them out
Let your wrists
Twist and twirl in the wind.
Let your emotions guide your body,
And dance to free your soul.
Breathe in deeply
Let feelings flow
Become one with the river of life
Lift your arms above your head,
Find that inner misanthropic solitude.
Free your body
From clothing confines,
Let it dance for the sake of dancing.
As you feet pound the earth,
Like the drums of native Americans.
As your breathing quickens,
Hear the voices of nature surround you.
Each word and essence echoed back and forth,
Each single sound resonating..
Forever creating ripples of harmony in time.
Let your emotions guide your body,
And dance to free your soul.
This is the dance to heal the earth,
And every time your feet starts the drum,
Every time your voice resonates through trees,
Each and every time you smile,
Reflecting the sunshine in your soul unto another,
You are dancing for the earth.
Your dancing can heal the earth.
How do I dance to heal the earth?
When you give,
When you show love,
When you act with compassion for the earths inhabitants..
You heal her wounds.
Let your dancing,
Heal our Mother Earth.
Let your feet dance:
Dance to give strength,
Dance with the beat of breath.
Dance to the beat of life..
The rhythmic pulse of the earth
Flows through your body.
Connect with it,
And dance to heal the Earth.
Sing to heal our earth,
Make this prayer into words,
And make those words into lyrics.
Sing your prayers,
Dance your prayers.
Your feet dancing the rhythm,
Provide strength for those who struggle to hear
The beating of the earths heart.
Dance to heal your pain,
Dance to give the lost, new strength,
Dance to cure the world,
And dance to heal the earth!
Author notes
“In the beginning, they say, God put a rainbow in the sky, to let us know that Spirit never forgets. Now is the time for us to put a rainbow across the earth, to let God know that we, too, remember.
Dance to heal the earth. Not just when you're dancing, but always. Live the dance, whenever you move, in all you do, dance to heal the earth. “
