Flowing ~ Staccato ~ Chaos ~ Lyrical ~ Stillness
The 5Rhythms® are a simple yet profound moving meditation practice created by Gabrielle Roth. They are designed to bring out each individual's creative potential as well as being a catalyst for deep healing in the body, mind, and soul. Each rhythm is a state of being, a teacher that brings out different aspects of who we are and who we are growing into being. Collectively, the 5Rhythms create a wave of energy that mirrors the creative process. By moving through this wave of energy we unleash the dynamic power that is alive within each of us. We dance ourselves from our thinking heads, to our embodied edge, so that we can exist in the instinctive intuitive still point.Flowing ~ Staccato ~ Chaos ~ Lyrical ~ Stillness
