Do you like to dance? Most people have tried some form of dance over the years. Unfortunately, many people forget the positive and powerful mind and mood-altering effects that dance creates. What if energy psychology and the power of your conscious and subconscious communications during dance could influence the quality of your happiness and health? Maybe every doctor should write a healthy lifestyle prescription recommending a minimum daily or weekly dose of dance.
Today’s blog on energy psychology is dedicated to various forms of Eastern, ecstatic, 5 Rhythms, mystical, trance, tribal, and tantra dance. If being happy, healthy, and in harmony is important to you then this blog may help. When we find ourselves sad, sick, stressed, or struggling with the complexities of day-to-day life it may be time to take some dance lessons and get footloose and stomp your feet. When we move our body in an ancient carefree, ecstatic, primitive, or tribal way we can tap into our core being and energy psychology to let go of the anxiety, stress, and tension that is hindering our happiness and health. When you immerse yourself in primitive dance trance you can reboot your body, mind, and spirit and help transform the quality of your life.
There are many forms and methods of dance trance to help you reconnect with your free spirit, inner child, and wild thing to reboot, reconnect, rejuvenate, restore, and revitalize your sanity and sense of well-being. Our body, heart, mind, and soul can become disconnected, disjointed, and disoriented in the complex and fast-paced world we live in these days. We can lose our compass and sense of direction. We can forget about our values, virtues, and vision. Dance trance is like a master reboot to update and upgrade our senses.
Dance, drumming, and music are like the universal vibration to reset and restore our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. The actual blending of mechanics, movement, and music creates a process externally and internally that is like the spin of electrons around the nucleus of a molecule. The process is the energy and rhythm of the universe. Our body, brain, heart, and spirit merge in the dance trance to create a temporary trance that restores and reunites our connection, consciousness, and creative oneness. Dance, drumming, and music have been shown to calm and tame the wild beast that disrupts, distracts, and disturbs our emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
Energy psychology is the art and science of tapping into the ancient world of wisdom that can enhance the human experience of life to be happier, healthier, and in harmony. Dance trance is an easy, effective, and efficient way to feel comfortable, comforted, and connected. Dance trance can help you reprogram, rewire, and rewrite your emotional, mental, and physical states to enhance your happiness, harmony, and health.

Bollywood and Hindu Dance
Many great Bollywood movies have scenes and stories where people are celebrating, dancing, singing, and totally immersed in having a great time. The movements and music can be very entertaining and inviting. If you are curious and open to new experiences, consider asking around until you find an opportunity to observe or participate in an Indian celebration, dance, ritual, or wedding. Each year there are numerous celebrations and events in Indian communities where dance and music play a big role. I recently attended a celebration of life ceremony and Kirtan with a group of people feeling grateful, joyful, and happy. Dancing and drumming unify, unite, and uplift people, even if they come from very different backgrounds and upbringings.

The chanting, dancing, and drumming are worth the energy, money, and time involved to attend a Native American pow-wow. There are many different types of drumming, regalia, styles, and tribes to choose from in Canada and the United States. The dancing and drumming at a pow-wow make a great family outing and may help people heal emotional issues and old wounds from previous generations. Native Americans have a very proud heritage and we should help celebrate and honor their beliefs and rituals.
Polynesian Dance
Have you seen a Pacific island Polynesian dance? Some of the most viewed Polynesian dances performed are from the islands of Aotearoa (NZ), Fiji, Hawaii, Samoa, Tahiti, and Tonga. Many people are familiar with Hula (the Hawaiian word for “dance,”) often accompanied by a ukulele. Hula is a celebration dance and many believe it can be a form of magical transcendence between our conscious and subconscious states. There are also other more energetic, exaggerated, and exciting motions and movements that may be accompanied by chants, gestures, instruments, and support props such as drums or other percussion instruments. The Polynesian Cultural Center on the Hawaiian island of Oahu is a magical and wonderful place to learn and see many aspects of the various Polynesian cultures. Polynesian dance, drumming, and music will change your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual state. It can also provide a dancing exercise and fitness workout that is good for your body, mind, and spirit.
