“Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment. “
-Osho
Through breath, movement, emotional and vocal release, we focus to become empty, empty in the mind and empty in the body -so empty that the stories we carry with us, the stories that weigh us down, that stop us from embracing life fully, can stop ruling us. Only from a place of emptiness can we visit the stories long enough to let them go, without getting consumed by them. Only when we let the old parts of us die can life fully take us on the ride we have been waiting for… Every moment is an opportunity to die, every moment contains the possibility to live more. Only when we allow these little deaths, can the magic of life, the magic of the present moment enter us fully. Then we stop getting in the way. Through the portal of emptiness, we work with the inner smile , strong release practices, breath, sound and movement meditation, allowing the ecstasy of the present moment to penetrate us fully.
