How are you connecting with yourself and others?

Hello to each and everyone of you! I am so glad you are here and we can connect in this way is so awesome! I really am so truly grateful for you being part of my community and tribe! There are so many ways that we can connect with each other as we have an abundant flow of technology and social media platforms! Speaking of social media platforms…I am sitting at my desk writing this blog and the one social media platform that I have truly depended on Facebook is down! I have always thought what if Facebook is gone tomorrow how am I going to connect to my students and you? The thing is we do not own the social media platforms! They are not ours. Do you depend on using things like messenger to talk to your friends or family instead of picking up the phone?

We spend so much time attached to our phone including me, that we lose connection with ourselves and others! In what ways can we connect to ourselves?

How about taking that dance class you have been telling yourself your going to sign up but never do?

Or you feel stressed out and need some healing but you never make the time to get that energy work done and schedule it you just keep putting it on the back burner.

When we lose the connection with ourselves and others we often find ourselves, stressed, anxious and depressed and feel stuck!

I can help you with this! I have a amazing class coming up for you! Join me for my Tribal Grooves Fitness class that starts October 7th at 11:00 am! You can join me via zoom!

What is Tribal Grooves?

Fun music that is positive and upbeat to move your body to! There is no need to worry about getting it right! Come play and move your body with me connecting to your soul through movement!

Spring Awakening & coming out of Covid

Spring Awakening and coming out of Covid! After year and a half and over 2 years since my last live performance I had the opportunity to connect, teach and perform for the first time! I was excited, anxious and nervous all at one time! I reminded myself; if you do everything from the place of love you can not go wrong. Costume was picked out and ready, music set done. Workshop material check and a ton of self care for me check!

The morning was early; 6 am. I started my prep; thoughts where dancing and whirling around my head. The car was packed and ready to go! Getting ready for performances and events can be a very magical thing.

Everything is carefully and well thought out hair, flowers, makeup and adoring myself with jewels. It is the most sacred and special thing for me. It’s very calming, allows me to quiet my chaotic mind. It brings me back into myself connecting to my own power and feminine body.

What a wonderful glorious day. It was already hot that morning the sun was shining bright. I made it to my destination! There were so many people there! Wow! I was a bit overwhelmed at it all but, talking and connecting to people is something I truly missed!

Time for my performance! As I made my way to the stage I was so glad I did not wear all the layers! One skirt and shorty pants! Goodness is was hot! I have done this many times in hot weather so I told myself; you’ve GOT THIS!

The music started. I was stage right waiting for the opportunity to emerge and to dance. My cue came and out I flowed circling the stage allowing the music to feel my heart and soul and connecting to all of those who came to watch and support me. I could feel the coolness of the concrete stage under my feet. The hot breeze kissing my face. My bright yellow skirt swirling around me with my purple and black fan veils flowing above. This is what I have missed! I did not miss a beat my heart was full! I could feel the energy as I danced between me and the audience. Joy filled my body and soul!

Every time I dance I heal a part of me that I did not know needed healing! I feel empowered, confident and just down right amazing! My friend Cathy told me “just watching you dance for that moment healed me”

The one thing I gathered about this day is that people are looking for connection. So let me ask you a question!

You know how we can have a loss of connection with our bodies as women? Well I offer weekly classes in a very safe, positive and open environment that allows you to be yourself where I teach you how to move and connect to your body through dance and movement! Does that not sound wonderful to you?

A Time for Celebration!

A time for celebration as we finish up another year! This year we have seen many challenges and a different way of doing things. This year has been a year of change and one we will never forget!

As, I sit here on my bed typing away capturing my final thoughts of the year and having my coffee and looking back at all the things that I have accomplished it is time to celebrate! It is important to celebrate and remind ourselves of all the good no matter how small or large and to focus on that instead of all the things that may not have worked out so well.

Today I celebrate all the challenges I faced as those challenges pushed me out of my comfort zone and put me on a new path and a new adventure! I celebrate my growth and all of the things I have learned from this past year. Last night, I took some time to write down at least 5 big things I accomplished this year and it felt really good to actually see it on paper and it really put things in perspective! How often do we focus on the good? How often do you celebrate? Do you celebrate you?

Here is my list:

  • moving to a new space with a healing room
  • completed my Master Teacher Training Level 3 for Global Caravan
  • created & taught online classes via zoom
  • developed a 4 week course
  • went through a physic bootcamp course
  • certified in Bellydance Body Fitness, Bootcamp and more
  • Taught my first Tribal Grooves Certification
  • Built my own healing website
  • I stopped working 7 days a week
  • read 12 books
  • created more time and self care for me

Sit down tonight and see if you can come up with at least 5 big things you accomplished. As you can see my list is filled with a lot of different things and these were all big things to me. As we say goodbye to 2020 and hello to 2021 what do you want to bring in to the new year? It is such a perfect time to dream and set those intentions and make it happen!

Coming up in the new year I will be bringing you more certifications so you can really step into your glorious self, more classes and courses online and in person!

We are getting ready to dance it out and it is not too late to join! I have a fun and empowering class called Tribal Grooves (TM). This class is designed to move and just feel good in your body! No experience is necessary! This class uses Global Caravan Bellydance but without the technique! Come dance with me! Lets shake it out! Do something just for you! This is 4 weeks of fun via zoom! Plus, be a part of our facebook group and have access to recordings while we are in session! Go here to register: https://najlasdance.com/product/tribal-grooves-via-zoom/

Thank you to everyone who supported me this year! Blessings as we go into 2021!
