A temple is a structure reserved for spiritual activities, such as prayer and the worship of a divinity. Often seen as the dwelling place of the Divine, a temple provides sacred containment for reverence and devotion.

The body is often referred to as a holy vessel or a temple. Understanding and aligning with Spirit within your body temple can provide you with a clear and direct inner path to the Divine. Hidden among the layers of skin, muscle, blood, and bone resides the creational glue of the universe.

Comprised of the fundamental forces - Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit your body provides you with a portal to the core essence of creation. The rich matter that makes up your cells flows in harmony with the universe when you honor the forces of the Divine within.

Just as an outer world temple becomes enlivened by the prayers of the people within its walls, the Divine within responds to your devotion and reverence. By moving your body as you pray, you also enliven the forces of creation that live inside your body temple.

With movement you activate your earthen physical container, your watery emotional energy, your mental air realm, your fiery life force, and your spiritual soul essence expression. When these elements in your body move to the tempo of music you literally dance your prayers into being.

From the beating of your own heart drum, to the rising and setting of the sun, nature’s elemental forces of creation provide the rhythmic pulse for your sacred dance of life. Dancing your prayers into being, as you honor the Divine within, forms an entry point for the forces of creation to assist you in bringing grace into every area of your life.
