Thanks so much for frequenting Albert's site (he's amazing) and also for making your way over to mine! I totally agree and it's a great way for kids to get in touch with their bodies, to recognize when they need an energy recharge or release and what better way to teach them that than to allow them to be totally silly? Once that energy is flowing...it's magick!!! Much love, PK Hi Jenny!

I teach my kids that dance and booty shaking is a GREAT way to unwind, decompress and let out some energy! It immediately has us all laughing and having fun no MATTER WHAT the mood was beforehand. I found your blog through Albert (the Urban Monk) and am VERY happy and thankful I have! Gratefully, Jenny Hi Paula, GREAT post!

That is a fantastic description of it! I think the value of concentrating on how dancing feels is often overshadowed by how it looks but there is something incredibly freeing about just letting go of all that and allowing the music and the energy of it move you without thought... Patricia! You are amazing! I agree that this kind of dance is very empowering...and encourage women everywhere to get in touch with themselves and their bodies in this way :) Hi Andrea! You are soooo welcome! I love connecting humor and spirit :) Much love and booty-shaking to you all! pk Hi KL!

IN fact, I worked as a go go dancer for many years, dancing up a storm on podiums in a club (wearing various costumes) a couple of nights a week. This time period coincided with my kundalini getting activated and I was aware on some nights of literally moving the energy up the chakras the way you describe. I still do it now - through some Madonna on the stereo, crank it up and dance around my living room. The best way for me to describe it is that when I dance <strong>I</strong> get out of the way and allow the energy to move ME. It's like this current that runs around my body searching for any tension and releases it. Booty shaking in particular seems to free up the root chakra, sending a message to the heart that hey, all is safe and well here and I am going to shake with total joy and abandonment. Sometimes, all we need is a good boogie, or run, or ANYTHING that moves the energy around... Much joyful booty shaking!
