Touching Your Edge

When you dance, how do you find and then meet your edge? I am not talking about the kind of edge that’s about getting one up on another person, or busting a better dance move for the benefit of your ego, but for the deep satisfaction of knowing your own point of aliveness in the present moment.

Touching your edge could be about performing a spiralling hands-free ascent from the floor, or it could be about stomping your negativity into the ground, or it could be about getting fierce to meet some burning frustration gnawing at your core, or fully revelling in your effervescent joy, or any other number of possible things. Where your edge is and how to respond to it in a way that fully honours your experience, only you can know.

An edge is a place of limits and boundaries, as much as it is about possibility and growth, and how we choose to relate and respond to our edges is essential to living in a way that makes space for more life and love.
