Once in awhile it is nice to take a vacation from current events. Taking a break from watching the news and checking your emails every day can open up a whole new world, and is a great way to recharge the mind, body and soul.
I just came back from a week-long dance camp where a couple of hundred people took dance lessons all day and danced together all night. There was no time to go on the internet or watch TV (at least for me).
The only entertainment was the company of each other. It is so refreshing to see how talented we humans can be in communicating with each other when we are brought together with nothing but our voices, our bodies and our hearts. For many people it is a lost art, while text messaging and social media replaces human interaction.
Taking a break from your everyday schedule can give you new perspectives, new ideas and expand your consciousness on many levels, whether you become more confident, overcome fears or learn what your body is capable of (like I learned that I could do much more with very little sleep.)
When you take your break you may discover new things you like or would like to do or hear things that really resonate with you.
One of the instructors at the camp said something very enlightening and I made it a point to remember it. In order to convey the concept of dancing with a partner she said “don’t try to make it happen, instead be prepared to allow it to happen.” I immediately recognized this as the spiritual principle of attraction and manifestation. Whenever we try too hard we are pushing it away, but when we are ready for something we do not have to put anymore effort into making it happen, all we have to do is allow the Universe to line up the events to make it appear in your life.
Allow yourself to take a break from reality and see what magic happens for you.
