Breathe in and breathe out

Nita and I have danced together for almost 15 years. She is an incredible wisdom teacher, with clarity and body knowledge of the deepest kind.
Here is something I wrote after one of our classes together:
"When I danced, I was so in my body there was nothing but the sensations, particularly the pleasure. Then emotion welled up and I was weeping, it was so deep and profound and then there was nothing but my left hip and focusing on a spot on my left pelvic bone.

After the dance Nita commented that the amazing thing was how I came out of the dance, there was no drama, no holding on I simply acknowledged my sisters and backed away from the altar. She also mentioned that the emotion was more 'real'.
I commented that I thought what she was referring to was the lack of attachment to the emotion. It was not attached to anything, it simply came from my body, I felt myself more in my body. It was just my hip, nothing else, not to discount the miracle that my hip is. And then I got it. It was being able to live in that miracle simply and completely. That’s all…no drama or stories, hoopla, or dynamite, just life in all of it’s splendor and pain. Breathe in and breathe out…birth and death."
