“Let the dance flow in its own way; don’t force it. Rather, follow it; allow it to happen. It is not a doing but a happening. Remain in the mood of festivity. You are not doing something very serious; you are just playing, playing with your life energy, playing with your bio-energy, allowing it to move in its own way. Just like the wind blows and the river flows, you are flowing and blowing. Feel it.
And be playful. Remember that word “playful” always with me, it is very basic. In India, we call creation God’s Leela God’s play. God has not created the world; it is his play.”
Natraj is dance as a total meditation. There are three stages, lasting a total of 65 minutes.
First Stage – 40 minute: With eyes closed, dance as if possessed. Let your unconscious take over completely. Do not control your movements or witness what is happening. Just be totally in the dance.
Second Stage – 20 minutes: Keeping your eyes closed, lie down immediately. Be silent and still.
Third Stage – 5 minutes: Dance in celebration and enjoy.
