Gabrielle Roth quotes

When we give ourselves over completely to the spirit of the dance, it becomes a prayer. (Gabrielle Roth)
Energy moves in waves. Waves move in patterns. Patterns move in rhythms. A human being is just that energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
Your body is the ground metaphor of your life, the expression of your existence... So many of us are not in our bodies, really at home and vibrantly present there. Nor are we in touch with the basic rhythms that constitute our bodily life. We live outside ourselves - in our heads, our memories, our longings - absentee landlords of our own estate. My way back into life was ecstatic dance. I reentered my body by learning to move my self, to dance my own dance from the inside out, not the outside in. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
If you have a body you are a dancer. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
We dance to reclaim our brilliant ability to disappear in something bigger, something safe, a space without a critic or a judge or an analyst. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
Your voice takes you to your heart. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
Between the head and feet of any given person is a billion miles of unexplored wilderness. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
The fastest way to still the mind is to move the body. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
If you want to give birth to your true self, you are going to have to dig deep down into that body of yours and let your soul howl. Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and trust that if you turn off your head, your feet will take you where you need to go. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
There is a dance only you can do, that exists only in you, here and now, always changing, always true. Are you willing to listen with fascination? If you are, it will deliver you unto the self you have always dreamed you could be. This is a promise. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
I believe in the power of motion, the wisdom of gravity, the emptiness of true love, the fact that there is no way out but through the body, no way up unless we all go together, no way down unless we follow the beat, no way in unless we embrace the dark. (Gabrielle Roth)
When your world falls apart and you're left with just yourself, you're forced to discover who you are without all the beliefs, expectations, views, & self-image provided by some teacher or system. The calculating mind gives way to the intuitive mind, Knowing without Thinking. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
Don't be afraid to show your light.. If it ends up being too much for people.. tell them to wear sunglasses! View quote
Gabrielle Roth
The fastest, cleanest, most joyful way to break out of your own box is by dancing. I'm not talking about doing the stand-and-sway. I'm talking about dancing so deep, so hard, so full of the beat that you are nothing but the dance and the beat and the sweat and the heat. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
Your soul is a seeker, lover and artist; shape-shifting through archetypal energy, between your darkness and fields of light, your body and spirit, your heaven and hell, until you land in the moment of sweet surrender; when you, as a dancer, disappear into the dance. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
You just have to determine to settle for nothing less than being FULLY ALIVE, to show up, be who you are, and share your gifts. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
The dance is not where we lose ourselves. But where we find ourselves. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
Freeing the body inevitably leads to freeing the heart. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
When I am dancing, it feels like my prayer. It's like an offering. I offer my head back to the dance, I offer my shoulders back to the dance, my elbows, my hands, my spine, my knees, my feet, my whole self, my bones, my blood, my experience, my suffering... I offer it all back to the dance and I say: take it, do whatever you want with me. Release me. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
Put your body in motion and your psyche will heal itself. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
Healing is movement. Disease is inertia. If you put the body in motion, you will change. (Gabrielle Roth)
Your body is the ground and metaphor of your life, the expression of your existence. It is your Bible, your encyclopedia, your life story. Everything that happens to you is stored and reflected in your body. In the marriage of flesh and spirit divorce is impossible. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
Movement practice gets all your creative juices flowing. It doesn't just release your body, but it opens up your heart and empties out your mind, as well. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
Rhythm is our universal mother tongue. It's the language of the soul. View quote
Gabrielle Roth
Each of us is a moving center, a space of divine mystery. And though we spend most of our time on the surface in the daily details of ordinary existence, most us hunger to connect to this space within, to break through to bliss, to be swept away into something bigger than us. View quote
