Summon the Rain

As our wise ancestors knew, dance is the most powerful form of ritual and prayer. Dance allows you to interface with the sacred realms, and connect directly with the Cosmic Dance itself. Conveniently, it utilizes the most powerful divine channel and magical tool there is – your body.

In every human culture, dance and song are the most ancient forms of worship, prayer, devotion, and celebration. Therefore, you can be certain that the primordial instinct to engage in ritual dance is encoded in your DNA. Ritual and ceremony offer you a chance to attune more deeply into the sacredness of your life and the cycles that flow through it, just as they did for your ancestors.

What’s more, your body responds to direct and focused intentions. Like a crystal wand, it can direct, guide, and amplify energy. Ritual dance allows you to have an immediate experience with, and direct response from, the sacred streams of wisdom that naturally course through your being from the Great God/dess. And when your movement is imbued with emotion, inner vision, and clearly expressed desire, your prayers are powerfully activated and affirmed. That’s why you are now being called to embark on this embodied journey of release, revelation, and connection.

What is it that you truly desire? What are your highest visions? What is your most ideal outcome? Get very clear on your most treasured intentions and access your natural power to create positive change. Do this by performing a dance ritual and expressing your prayers through movement.

A simple way to do this is to state your intention clearly. Phrase it in the present tense, as if already true. For example, “I am in love,” “I am healthy,” or “I am worthy.” Then tune in to the feeling as if it’s already present in your life experience. Carefully choose a piece of music that is in alignment with this feeling. You may like to adorn yourself with apparel and accessories that go along with this feeling. Set the mood with candles or incense to reinforce your intention. Once you’ve prepared appropriately, play your music and dance in passionate celebration. Explore moving in patterns that create shapes, and symbols that represent your intention. For example, big hip circles could be a shape that represents feeling worthy, or stretching your arms outward could be a symbol of being open to love. Feel gratitude for manifesting your clear intention into form. Embrace your divine nature and intuitively attune to the frequency of that which you are summoning.

A dance ceremony allows you to access and direct the potent, creative energy of your body temple by bringing your mind, body, and spirit into integrated harmony with All That Is. Channel your intentions into sacred movement, and you will taste the divine nectar of your full presence and gain access to your full powers of manifestation.
