Nataraj Meditation

Named after the cosmic dancer; the practice uses music as a vehicle into meditation.

Choose music you will not analyze—worldbeat snobs ruin their own hour. The fall to the floor is a hard stop; do not brake the landing with your ego. Jewelry flies; tie hair back; water bottle off the dance floor.

Dance — Eyes closed, dance as if you are the dance—no performer, no audience.
Lie down — When the music stops, lie on the belly and melt into the floor.
Stillness — Remain inward, watching.
