SHAY'S ADVENTURES ARE BACK!


In an effort to keep the content of my teaching web page more focused, I have re-moved my personal blog back here to Adventures of a Tribal Dancer. Here we will be able to continue to talk about cooking and knitting, travel and other musings; and I will continue to blog about dance-specific topics over on the Deep Roots Dance blog:

I would love to have you subscribed to either or both of my pages, as each will have unique content I hope you will enjoy. Thanks for visiting!

Broken in pieces on the floor=strength and opportunity!

A fantastic article on the power in being broken down.



“Akhilandeshvari:

“Ishvari” in Sanskrit means “goddess” or “female power,” and the “Akhilanda” means essentially “never not broken.” In other words, The Always Broken Goddess. Sanskrit is a tricky and amazing language, and I love that the double negative here means that she is broken right down to her name.

But this isn’t the kind of broken that indicates weakness and terror.

It’s the kind of broken that tears apart all the stuff that gets us stuck in toxic routines, repeating the same relationships and habits over and over, rather than diving into the scary process of trying something new and unfathomable.

Akhilanda derives her power from being broken: in flux, pulling herself apart, living in different, constant selves at the same time, from never becoming a whole that has limitations."
