It's great to feel great, but what to do when we don't? How to deal with that? In the practice of the 5 Rhythms, as with the rest of life, if we suppress or deny parts of our experience that don't feel good, our world gradually gets smaller and shallower, until the whole thing really isn't very satisfying any more.

Paradoxically the way to continually expand our capacity for ecstatic moments in the dance, and a lighter touch in daily life, is to learn how to accept and embody those parts of us that are anything but ecstatic. The stuck, blocked, confused, spaced out, numb parts of us that stop our flow in it's tracks.

Learning to dance through our shadows is the key. That way we find freedom not through escape but through embrace and creative transformation, which gives us a road map for taking on life's shadows with a little more lightness of spirit. Let down to your roots, take a deep breath and dive in.

Adam Barley lives in the U.K. where he has been teaching the 5Rhythms since 1994. Click here to learn more about Adam.
