Dancing in the Light

Dance Without Limits Posted on July 27, 2018 by Dana Ben-YehudaJuly 28, 2018  

This morning, I meditated on Light. I used a guided audio from my friend, Anita Caselina

and in this meditation I FEEL and SEE myself filled with light.


I am a vessel of Light

I am a channel for the Light.


When I dance, I also connect to the Light.

This is what I feel in my heart when I dance.

I feel the light shining through me

That is my purpose and on Earth in this lifetime.

To be a shining star

And to let others know they are shining stars, too.

A star is a vessel and channel of Light

Connecting with others through the Light that connects us all.

I hope you also do whatever makes you feel connected to the Light.

Whether that’s dancing or painting or music – or math!
