In mystical traditions the cosmos is understood as a Divine Being which may be experienced with all human senses. There life dances an eternal round dance, and from there it receives its glow. In this context, traditional dances with their rhythms and songs, which have received their form in the course of millennia, are symbolic images of the ‘gods’. The essence of the art of dancing is to make visible the moment ‘Now’ in the perfect presence of one breath. The art of movement, activating the joints of both hands and feet, may in this way create, flame-like, the most perfect motion which allows the dancer to grow beyond the restrictions of form and to develop beyond his own limitations. The energetic focal point above the head of the dancer, where the central energy channel runs down along the spine to the vital centre – to the ‘realm of the creative feminine’ – has the power to break up rigid structures and to infuse them with new life. In Charya this power is symbolized by the presence above the dancer’s head as Padmanateshvara, the divine Dancer-God. With devotion and his/her creative participation, the dancer in encountering the gods, returns energy to the cosmos and in this way unites the visible and invisible worlds. By the dancer connecting spirit and matter, all creative processes may be experienced to be particles of unending cycles of life, as a continuous being-born-into and again as beingborn-from them, while the soul is nourished by coming face to face with the Divine in the present moment. This takes place in the heart, the central point for the creation of all movement.
