Dancing can be therapeutic…. There are soooo many types of dances too, to gratify every taste. But as a feminine-spirited girl, only the most sensual dances appeal to me. The Ancient Eastern Dances are the only ones that now appeal to me, but it wasn’t always that way.

I grew up dancing in church. And I mean literally, not figuratively! When I was a young girl, my family took me to a church and as soon as the drums started pounding for the church band, my mother had to grab me to hold me still; I had jumped out the pew in front of everybody and started moving my body to the beat. Her hands were clasped around my waist and stomach, but I didn’t care; I was still dancing.

Here’s a picture of my mom and I, around the time that occurred:

Since then, I learned how to dance jazz, hip hop, pop n lock, wave, house, and step. Exactly 18 years ago, I took my first belly dance class. That lasted for three months, because it started to get too expensive at the time, but in that little time I soared.

Everything changed from that moment on. I never forgot about belly dancing and the exotic rhythms I heard. Shortly after, I began to fantasize about getting a group together and performing. That’s when I knew it penetrated my DNA. I started teaching myself the art by learning from great classic dancers. Since then I’ve performed & taught privately. Today, I am still studying to improve this beautiful art-form.

Doing research for my current class, I decided to share with you all the benefits that dancing can do for you. Especially now, since I recently became an expressive arts consultant.  For those that don’t know what that is: expressive arts is the practice of using the process of making art, not for the sake of the end result (a creation), but to help people transform, change, and improve their lives as they create. If you are interested in learning more click here.

Here’s the results of my findings~

26 Ways Dancing can be Therapeutic:

  1. relieves stress
  2. decreases anxiety
  3. boosts self-esteem

The beauty of a rose is not only for our observation. We can create even more beauty with roses. Especially since roses are used in 3 main forms, which are the flower, it’s powder, an essential oil.

1. Cooking:

IMG_2961.JPG
Did you know Roses are edible? They belong to the subcategory of Rosaeceae called Rosoideae and share membership with strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries. You can garnish desserts with the rose or cook it with a savory dish.

2. Perfumery:

IMG_2949.JPG
Rose scented parfum is a classic for feminine girls and making your own unique mixture is delightful. I’ve read quite a few ways to do it, including waiting several days before mixing essential oils with carrier oils and extenders, and dropping base, middle and top notes in mixture in increments of 10,5,5. Experiment, research the best way for you & have fun!

3. Petals:

IMG_2950
Use the petals for a warm bath time soak it to sleep on at night. It will soothe the body, as well as your spirit.

4. Interior Design:

IMG_2928.JPG
Using a variety of colors or species of hybrids that roses are seen in, you can add lovely moods to any room. See bottom for color meanings.

5. Journaling:

IMG_2936.JPG
I enjoy finding fallen flowers, especially roses to take home. I wait for them to dry and put them in journals and boxes for pressing. This gives a lovely 3d design effect to any page of doodles.

6. Adornment:

IMG_2942.JPG
Hair and clothing has been adorned by flowers for ages. Various colored roses
can be attached to a clip to put on the hair as well as on any article of clothing.

7. Artwork:

IMG_2937.JPG
Working with mixed media on canvas, roses can be included in any project, whether you leave it in it’s natural state or spray it to change its color or add a gloss.

8. Products:

IMG_2947
The scent of a rose in liquid tincture, pummelled powder, or soddened petal form can be added to any type of skin or hair beauty product. If you are going to adds other scents, oils, herbs, or ointments to your blend, make sure it harmonizes with the smell of roses.

9. Salts & Scrubs:

IMG_2960
Bath salts & body scrubs will smell more classic feminine with roses. Besides the smell, it also has a lot of benefits for you as it is high in vitamin C, very moisturizing, can heal skin issues, restore suppleness, & relax your mind.

10. Gifts:

IMG_2930.JPG
A bouquet of roses or a single rose can make a striking gift of great impression to any person no matter what the relationship is. Below is a mini legend of the meaning of different rose colors:

White – purity & marriage
Yellow – friendship & joy
Orange – passion & enthusiasm
Red – love & romance
Pink – admiration & appreciation
Purple – enchantment & beauty
Blue – mysterious & unattainable
Green – renewal & growth
Black – death of idea, concept, feeling, or relations

Which one of these will you try? Please send me pictures of your creations; I’d love to see what you do with them!

Isn’t it amazing! How touching someone, no matter what age, does so many wonderful things. This touch is so profound that if babies and infants do not receiving cuddling, hugs, & other loving touches they 100% grow up to have an anti-social personality disorder, which usually leads to the harming of others.

It is extremely important to touch newborns as often as time, desire, & space permits. They will grow healthy mentally, spiritually, & physically.

How often has the touch of a loved one made your day easier, lovelier, & sweeter? Touches can say I care, I love, I support.. you. They can calm you from erratic emotions or excite you for intimate play. I think when people are upset, angry, or sad, they have probably been lacking touches in their lives. So the next time you’re out & meet an irate person, ask them do they need a little touch today? They will probably calm down & hug you…

5 benefits to dancing, feminine dances, ladies should be good dancers, master to Art of Dance, resason for a girl to learn to dance, why you need to learn to dance, women should know how to dance

Dear Feminine One,

Has anyone ever told you…need to learn to dance?

It is imperative that you start you journey to mastering the Art of Dance at once!

You are naturally an artist, a creator of life, & a nurturer of love..so  what better way to express these intricate & complex concepts than through dance?

Every feminine woman should be able to dance, and dance well. It must become part of her spirit, her essence, her presence. Her soul needs to express her joy, her emotions, & her pleasure of life through her body, her movements, & her motion patterns.

Besides another channel of feminine expression, there are 5 benefits to you dancing on a regular basis:

1. Heightened Sensuality – you become more aware of your senses, & how to use your body with such grace & elegance & flirtation

image

2. Better Coordination – you learn to move your body parts in harmony that blends into a beautiful creative motion for the viewer

image

3. Graceful – you perfect the action, range, & appearance of each of your movements while simultaneously balancing your body with gravity

image
4. Having Admiration – you gain the attraction of men who are sensitive to women who can move their bodies in synchronized ways since they are in accord with, appreciate, & accept their own bodies

image
5. Getting Exercise – you tone, strengthen, & utilize different muscle groups to increase overall health & well being

Feminine One, you must start dancing several times a week to start seeing these benefits.

There are many dances you can choose to study, as long as they are feminine in style and movement. This means girly moves, graceful poses, & fluid movements. If you seek a masculine man in your life, do not to excel in masculine styles, as this will bring more masculine energy to your core and upset the polar magnetism you want to have with a masculine man. This style means jerky, quick, strong, robotic, and confrontational dances. Great dance choices to celebrate & enhance your feminine energy are: ballet, belly dance, jazz, lyrical, & modern.
