Aha! Meister Eckhart

Gabriela Wosein, daughter of Bernhard Wosein, the man who brought Sacred Dance to Findhorn, was one of the teachers at the Festival this year.

Her dances are simple and profound. One morning she started our session with a quote from Meister Eckhart that went something like this: “Seek yourself, know yourself, release yourself’.

I can’t remember what we danced that morning, but the quote stuck with me. Maybe because I’ve been looking to discover the ‘real’ Tracy. Anyway, I’ve been wanting to really ponder it and today, at siesta time in Lunas, I thought, “Aha, I have the time!” I lay down on my bed to meditate on it and promptly fell asleep. I blame the altitude.

But when I woke up, I had a real ‘aha’ moment- apparently my subconscious was already pondering, because when I wrote “Picking Up Good Vibrations” I think I answered my own question about what this really means:

“The trick somehow, is to take care of your own vibration- to nurture yourself, to pay attention to how you feel. To live in your own power. To remember that you carry the divine within you, and it is your responsibility to live your best life. And yet stay connected with the wider community. To dance together, one beautiful dancing body of strength and unity.”

Now if only there was a guidebook, or a map….
