Portland Moving Meditations

Dear Friends~

We want to let you know that we have temporarily paused production of our Dance-At-Home-Videos because Michael has had painful and incapacitating bursitis of the left shoulder. Thankfully, the very worst seems to be over and we are anticipating a full, though apparently very slow, recovery. We will let everyone know when a new video becomes available.

Until then, please use this link (http://www.movingmeditations-dup.com/dance-at-home-programs.html) to access and enjoy previous videos on the "Dance At Home Programs" page of our website. Some dance movements are adapted to fit this format. May the light of Wisdom guide your path and the balm of Love heal and bless you!
~ Michelle and Michael

Dance at Home Programs Sing and dance at home with our videos and audio recordings! | Join hands with a circle of welcoming people to sing world mantras while moving together. Everyone is so happy and relaxed when the evening is over!

Unconditional love. Inclusiveness. Ending racism and partisanship. Survival of humanity. My new song welcomes everyone who’s hurt another, forgiving their past if they will now respect everyone and work together to preserve and protect people and the earth. No judgments, criticism, or grudges – just common humanity looking forward, not back. The process of creating this song involves a lifetime of seeking wisdom to help the world, and finding that no solution works unless we first restore the shredded fabric of humanity.
A house divided against itself cannot stand. America’s most dangerous enemies are those who are stoking the fires of division between its citizens. Jesus socialized with the outcasts of society, welcoming all who would now choose brotherly love. The Persian poet, Rumi, said all are welcome, even if you’ve broken your vow 1,000 times. Let’s remember that even those we disagree with are human beings who also love our country, and there is no justification for treating others with disrespect.
The lyrics:
I don’t care what you’ve done, or who you’ve done it to
You can ride this train, and I’ll ride with you.
I don’t care if you’re on the run, or someone’s running from you
You can ride this train, and I’ll ride with you.
Maybe you spilled a secret you heard, made a promise and broke your word
Whether you’ve given or felt the pain, everyone’s welcome on this train.
You can ride this train, and I’ll ride with you,
You can ride this train, and I’ll ride with you. (2x)
I don’t care where you’ve been or who might have been there, too
You can ride this train, and I’ll ride with you.
I don’t care which pills you took or who you sold them to
You can ride this train, and I’ll ride with you.
Maybe you lied and started a fight, maybe you tried to make things right
Whether you’ve suffered a loss or gain, everyone’s welcome on this train.
You can ride this train, and I’ll ride with you,
You can ride this train, and I’ll ride with you. (2x)
I don’t care if you’re black or white, red or yellow, too
You can ride this train, and I’ll ride with you.
I don’t care what you think of God or which old book is true
You can ride this train, and I’ll ride with you.
I don’t care if you’re blue or red, made a mistake and now someone’s dead
I don’t know how to be more plain, everyone’s welcome on this train.
You can ride this train, and I’ll ride with you,
You can ride this train, and I’ll ride with you. (2x)

In celebration of the recent International Women's Day, we offer a springtime Celtic dance honoring the awakening of Mother Earth, symbolic of the great awakening of Feminism worldwide. Our second dance, Shakin' The Tree, was written specifically for International Women's Day by Peter Gabriel and Youssou N'Dour.

Our new Dance-At-Home video begins with an invocation to the Remover Of Obstacles, that we may succeed in our endeavors. Next, we contemplate that which is beyond our conceptions by emptying ourselves of all concepts of the Divine and becoming receptive. This brings us to our connection with the primordial Source of all things and Supreme Peace.

Ganesha Sharanam
Eternal Tao
Shanti Prashanti
