Episode 08: Movement is your birth right - engaging the dance of your life. With Anja Gysin.

 

Yes, MOVEMENT is our BIRTH RIGHT. 

What if your life would be a DANCE? If there was no beginning and no end but your whole being yielding into the expression of your body? 

I am so touched and grateful to share this episode with you. I had such an organic and moving conversation filled with breath and joy with Anja Gysin. We talked about movement, touch and healing on such a deep level, from such an embodied perspective that … it is hard to describe it in words - go ahead, listen, let it fill all your cells, let it move you!

Few words about Anja. Anja was born in Solothurn in Switzerland and is certified as a movement-teacher-and therapist, Open Floor teacher, dancer, choreographer, and Somatic Movement Educator in Body-Mind Centering. She teaches movement and dance as a healing force, for 25 years. Since 2012 she has led her own Dance Company. In her artistic as well as in her teaching approach, the nature of human being within is in the focus. So she gives room for the unfolding of the individual and at the same time space for the opening to the spirit that connects everything. 

In this conversation with Anja, we talked about … 

  • Her journey which led her from practicing dance as performance focusing on aesthetics and shapes to what she calls «Medicine dancer» working in the service for healing.

  • That movement IS our birth right!

  • How we can use our breath to get in touch with our inner and outer nature …

  • … and why it is so potent to allow ourselves to be touched - physically and emotionally.

  • What for the two of us are "key ingredients" for healing … 

  • … and how we can all find our unique resources to nurture the ground for healing.

  • How life is an invitation to remember who we truly are - and have always been!

I am looking forward reading your thoughts and comments about it on instagram or Facebook or any podcast platform you are listening from at the moment, tell me what did you take from this episode and how did it inspire your path and journey. I would be delighted to hear from you what is your unique resource you engage with, to rejuvenate, to feel safe, to be with you - let us all inspire each other and share - what support you might support him or her as well.
