Improvise

Great treasures are waiting for you in the most unexpected places. It is time to take a detour onto a road less traveled!

First, you must release attachment to a particular destination or outcome, free up your sense of playful spontaneity, and dare to step bravely into the unknown. The Universe desires to co-create with you. Relinquish your concrete plans and rigid expectations to signify your willingness to dance gracefully with the Cosmic Mystery and Wild Divine.

Relax, flow, and let go! Like a dancer who forgoes choreography in favor of improvisation, throw off mental constrictions, banish the need to control, and trust in your innate ability to align with whatever is required. After all, the only constant is change.

Surrendering to change with an open mind and a light-hearted sense of curiosity will allow you to free yourself of stagnant energy, break out of tired old patterns, unlock spontaneous blessings, and discover spur-of-the-moment solutions.

Imagine that you are at the center of the great mandala of life, where you can choose from the countless paths and forms your journey can take, as you travel outward toward the edge. Have you been stuck in one way of doing things, or one vision for how things “should” look? If so, you are missing out on so much magic and so many possibilities! Shake yourself out of the rut by choosing a new approach and seeing your whole situation in a radically different light.

We really don’t know what’s going to happen. The future is a field of wide-open potentiality. So make love to the mystery! Open your heart, body, mind, and energy to all that you don’t know and can’t predict. This will allow you to step inside each circumstance and become its truth and wisdom. From there, all doors are open to you.

Beautiful improvisational dance only occurs when you get out of your head and let your instincts take over. Stop the tendency to overthink by imagining your mental chatter dropping from your head and dissolving into your alive and expansive heart space. Once you do, you will open to a vast field of glorious possibility.

To bring this wisdom into your body, put on music that makes your body want to move. This may not be the same style of music you normally enjoy. For example, your body may be in the mood for hard rock, even if you generally prefer classical. Dim the lights, and let your body flow and sway in any way it desires. If you notice your movements following a familiar pattern, let that pattern transform into something that surprises you. Let your thoughts fall away and give your body license to move in a way it’s never moved before.

Improvisation calls for a vulnerable, sensitive state of empty presence. This gives the Universe space to join you in dance.
