Episode 5 - Chakradance and Dancing with the Divine

Mystical Musings

In podcast episode five, Tava Baird and Jennifer Taylor discuss the spiritual and healing aspects of dance, focusing particularly on Chakradance. They begin with an invocation inviting the energy of goddess Saraswati, emphasizing the importance of dance as a form of expression and healing. The hosts share personal experiences with dance, reflecting on how societal norms often limit its presence in adult lives. They discuss Chakradance, a movement therapy integrating Jungian psychology, chakras, and resonant music, founded by Natalie Southgate. Jennifer shares her transformative journey with Chakradance, detailing how it helped her manage rheumatoid arthritis and regain mobility. The podcast also highlights the broader cultural and spiritual roles of dance, challenging the notion that spirituality must be separate from the physical and advocating for dance as a means to embody one's spirituality.
