SoundPractice innerdance Gwynedd

I was asked this week if I’d sell someone a playlist for self practice. Of course I’m happy to do that. But I have a rotating ten playlists available for free on Mixcloud. And if you have a favourite and I’ve taken it down I’m usually able to send it to you. Just message me. Anyway here’s an old one I made for Beltane - although I actually shared it on May 4th. Star Wars day is coming soon.

A return to a purer cleaner playlist where the emotion from each track can be felt. As always listen through headphones, lie down and let your body move and release as it responds. The music will move you through brain wave patterns to allow a release of stored emotion and free you from it.

Innerdance is often compared to lucid dreaming - we enter a deep trance state and many people experience dreamlike visions - but we remain awake. Dreaming awake. This allows safe movement during the practice - we have awareness of what our body is doing. This article might explain what is happening in our brain

And it gets even trippier.

I’ve been feeling as if I’ve lost my Innerdance mojo. For the last few years I have been honoured to join Katie Holland who offers UK training in Innerdance. This year it didn’t happen. And it felt like losing my connection to the wellspring. I’ve danced with other people’s playlists and travelled the dreamscape with them. Two brilliant facilitators shared their playlist from a session in Peru but dancing on my own is a quieter less profound experience. Today I read two pieces on Substack which reminded me why Innerdance is such a profound experience. The first from Claire Brown was this:

When I danced I closed my eyes. A freedom would bubble up. A blissful state. Suddenly, I was the most alive, most relaxed I could ever be.

And the second from Kate Arends was this:

Perhaps the most important realization my body gifted me was that I do not need to be understood to be loved. My body is my map home to myself. It lives in each of us.

What we desire from the outside world is a call to go within.

Maybe I’ll see you in an Innerdance floor sometime soon.

A facilitator contacted me recently to ask to be added to the website. I thought I might remind people that there is more information on the website about innerdance and its beginnings. Here's the link

Inner Dance is a sound meditation to a carefully curated playlist involving music, intuitive healing touch and voice to enable physical and emotional release and integration. No dancing is needed although many people move during a session. Find your local facilitator and contact details for the UK.

Packing my bag for tomorrows sound bath and innerdance - wondering if people have a favourite instrument for the sound bath. I always bring both sets of bowls, the big gong and some chimes. But which rattles? What about the wahwahs ? Maybe the chime harp? The kalimba? The tongue drum? I’m going to bring the new buffalo drum and maybe the ocean drum - perhaps the thunder drum? So many choices!

Ready for Landed festival a hint of pirate and a feel good finale - as always this can be used for self practice. Just lie down and get comfortable and then let your mind wander and your body move. Feedback welcome.
