ABHINAYA Indian Spiritual Dancing What is Abhinaya?  Abhinaya is a graceful, meditative dance form descended from classical Indian styles. Abhinaya has been developed under the guidance of the wise, specifically to help us experience our essential selves more fully, moment by moment. The bliss and freedom from habitual constraints which we experience in Abhinaya can seed similar experiences in life. It helps us reconnect with our natural sense of delight and vitality. How does it work? Abhinaya uses gesture and dance as vehicles for fine attention. Simply watching as the body moves, the mind, heart and soul are free to enjoy whatever arises. The potency of Abhinaya can be experienced equally fully by absolute beginners and experienced dancers, young and old, male and female. From vigorous foot rhythms to gentle hand gestures, all facilitate the inner harmony and equilibrium which comes from uniting with the Now. |
