Master Class from 10 AM - 12 Noon
The class began with breathing. A lot of emphasis was placed on inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the nose using the diagrammatic breath. There was explained the importance of positioning the feet inwards to keep the energy and outwards to let it out. The rest of the body was to be relaxed as we practice inhaling and exhaling. We continue with what I have known as kundalini breathing which means to inhale and exhale rhythmically as one uses the abdomen to press in an out the breath out of the thoracic chamber. We also began to execute moves that resembled a cleansing of sorts by using one hand to circle the top of the head and run it over the opposite are. Emphasis was put on not touching oneself in the process.
We changed places to move around the space until we were in a circle. We leaned on each other by being close to one another. We use our partners on either side to lean left, right, front and back. We moved around again and found another place in the circle. This time we performed different movements to activate different areas of the body according to out meridians (dantien, chext, throat and the area under the chin). We broke out of the circle and walked around the space again to increasingly follow the rhythm of the music and step down into gravity, wide legs. We changed places again and sat down.
Vibrational therapy began by playing the bells while we were sitting. At that time we were asked to go to the bathroom if we needed to. When we were all back in the space, Vivian explained how she was going to use the bell to work on the opening of the dantian (as we placed over the area, the belly button in the middle, our thumbs touching each other, our middle fingers touching, pointing down. She also worked on the chest area, the throat and the third eye, the sacrum. She approached us one by one.
When done, we began to walk in all directions to eventually follow Vivian in a dance she led. She would ask randomly to participants to tell her a text while moving.We finished by gradually gathering in the middle, Vivian in the center.
Performance at 5:00 PM
