New Delhi, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/31/2011 -- Dance meditations are known to be one of the best ways to bridge the gap between being in a state of intensity and receptivity.

Dancing makes you feel free, feel at home and put you in a state where you experience joy and a feeling of oneness in your life.

So, what basically is Dance meditation? A dance meditation is when we use the rhythm of the music, the attentiveness, and a perceptive state of mind to yield enjoyment and relaxation through it. Dancing is not just for meditation but it’s also a way of recreation as well. Any kind of dance can be meditative. Although, there is no such classification as sacred dancing; a kind of dance where we use dance to explore and our identity as soul.

The state of total dancing is achieved when a person gives himself completely into dancing and wholeheartedly. Just like a child dances to a music, without knowing, but completely enjoying the joy and pleasure of dancing. Don’t think about the worries of the future; don’t regret for anything from the past either. Being in the present and celebrating the joy of living is what dance meditation is all about.

Inner Metamorphosis University at Howard St. Chicago provides such meditation and vocational classes and retreats where people come to exercise in the form of dancing. Dancing not only produces relaxation but also tones your body. It is a great exercise for your body as well as gives happiness and fun. Dancing in a group, although staying with oneself and without interaction, is energizing and enjoyable.

A Dance meditation expert at Inner Metamorphosis University recommended, "After doing the dance meditation, you should take complete rest for 20 minutes lying motionless on your back. That allows you to completely relax, to let go and sink into absolute inner silence. It allows you to freshen up your mind."
