MOVING WITH ZULEIKHA

A PATH TOWARD WHOLENESS

• BEGINS WITH A ONE-MINUTE RESILIENCE TOOK-KIT—EXERCISES TO HELP RELIEVE STRESS AND OPEN THE JOINTS TO RE-ENERGIZE IN EVERYDAY SELF-CARE FOR THE BODY. THIS IS CALLED TAKE A MINUTE™

• ONCE THE SELF FEELS CARED FOR, THEN IT CAN EXPLORE INNER AWARENESS OF THE BODY THROUGH FREE MOVEMENT AND STILLNESS AND THE SPACE IN BETWEEN WHICH LEADS TO MIND/BODY CONNECTION. THIS RECENTERING IS CALL BODYLISTENING, A MOVEMENT AWARENESS PRACTICE.

• ONCE THE SELF IS RECENTERED AND AWARE IN BODY AND MIND, THEN MOVING FREELY WITH DEPTH OF FEELING CAN BECOME A PRACTICE, ALLOWING GREATER EASE, SENSE OF CALM AND AN ENLIVENED CONNECTION OF BODY, MIND AND SOUL (FEELING). THIS MOVEMENT TOWARD WHOLENESS IS CALLED LIBERA, THE STUDY OF MOVING FREELY.

• ONCE THE SELF EXPERIENCES WHOLENESS, IT WANTS TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. “THERE IS AN AWARENESS OF HOW IMPORTANT MOVEMENT IS IN KEEPING US HEALTHY AND HAPPY AND HOW IT CAN IMPACT THE WORLD.” “WE CAN THEN ASPIRE TO BRING JOY BACK INTO PEOPLE’S LIVES.” (QUOTES FROM ZULEIKHA’S CLASSES FOR BFA STUDENTS AT LINES BALLET). THIS CAN BE CALLED ART AS SERVICE, CONNECTION OF BODY MIND, SOUL AND THE WORLD.
