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.

More quotes by Gabrielle Roth
To shed the past, forget the future and fall into the moment feet first.
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
We're constantly changing and any practice meant to serve our authenticity should reflect our fluid nature.
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
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
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
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
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
Your voice takes you to your heart.
Gabrielle Roth
The self is a dance, constantly in motion.
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
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.
Gabrielle Roth
Mine is the art of inspiring people to turn themselves inside out, transform their suffering into art, their art into awareness and their awareness into action
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
The body is the womb of the soul, a begging bowl for spirit.
Gabrielle Roth
We all share the wound of fragmentation. And we can all share in the cure of unification. Healing is the unification of all our forces -- the powers of being, feeling, knowing and seeing.
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
Between the head and feet of any given person is a billion miles of unexplored wilderness.
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
Freeing the body inevitably leads to freeing the heart.
Gabrielle Roth
