More quotes by Gabrielle Roth
We have lost awe and wonder. In reference to the mystery of life itself, we've lost respect for movement in our planet.
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.
Gabrielle Roth
Your body is the ground metaphor of your life, the expression of your existence. It is your Bible, your encyclopaedia, your life story.
Gabrielle Roth
Between the head and feet of any given person is a billion miles of unexplored wilderness.
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.
Gabrielle Roth
The body is the womb of the soul, a begging bowl for spirit.
Gabrielle Roth
To sweat is to pray, to make an offering of your innermost self. Sweat is holy water, prayer beads, pearls of liquid that release your past. The more you dance... the more you sweat, the more you pray. The more you pray, the closer you are to ecstasy.
Gabrielle Roth
The spirit in motion heals, expands, circles in and out of the body, moving through the layers of consciousness from inertia to ecstasy. Open to the spirit, and you will be transformed.
Gabrielle Roth
Freeing the body inevitably leads to freeing the heart.
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.
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.
Gabrielle Roth
Ride the energy of your own unique spirit.
Gabrielle Roth
Shamanic healing is a journey. It involves stepping out of our habitual roles, our conventional scripts, and improvising a dancing path.
Gabrielle Roth
Anger is an integrity-producing response to the invasion of your personal boundaries.
Gabrielle Roth
We dance to fall in love with the spirit in all things, to wipe out memory or transform it into moves that nobody else can make because they didn’t live it.
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.
Gabrielle Roth
Movement is my medicine, my meditation, my metaphor and my method, a living language we can rely upon to tell us the truth about who we are, who we are with, and where we are going. There is no dogma in the dance.
Gabrielle Roth
My work is giving space - learning of its way and being in its service at the same time. We each have responsibility to express ourselves. And in this expression is the key to our healing.
Gabrielle Roth
Art is not just ornamental, an enhancement of life. It is a path in itself, a way out of the predictable and conventional... a map to self discovery.
Gabrielle Roth
Our soul, our true self, is the most mysterious, essential, and magical dimension of our being. In fact, it is not a separate reality, as traditional Western thought views it, but the cohesive force that unites our body, heart, and mind. It is not a ghost trapped somehow in the physical machinery of our body but the very essence of our being.
