This journal entry is about recapping my experience at Zoukfest NYC. Brazilian Zouk is a form of dance that’s around 30 years old and is born from Lombada. It’s sensual and . . . that’s all I can remember from my lessons. But I started learning this in August and got an immersive experience this past weekend in workshops and there were big emotions that came up for me as someone learning not only to dance Zouk, but to learn to dance PERIOD.
Today I talk about how learning to dance has brought light to other areas of my life reflective of my resistances to expressing my rhythm. I recognize podcasting, sex, working out, and Yoga are spaces where I let my rhythm express through those vehicles, and Football, relationships, and work have all been mechanical spaces where the mechanics have come easily but expressing rhythm wasn’t safe. Check out this episode of Selfed and see what works for you.
Oh as it relates to the title, I speak about the law of compensation from the “Fullmetal Alchemist” anime perspective on equivalent exchange. I spoke about how the weight of what I put into my identity from my last relationship and environment had to be let go of, freeing seemingly infinite charge for potential and possibility. Where I’ve given my presence, that freed up energy has allowed what aligns to materialize in my orbit. I speak to consciously making that shift into other areas of life.
