Trance dance faeries...

After a solid 7 hours of dancing beginning at 8.30am (substance & alcohol free, just for the record!) to great Trance music on Sunday, it was no wonder I was feeling so good, so centred but physically tired yesterday! Who needs gym?? Jo jo, Bryony & myself had an amazing time together!

For those of you who have asked about trance music...well, it would probably sound pretty much like techno to most of you...the differences being that there are many different sounds in trance music, beautiful voices, mysterious voices, tribal drumbeats, chanting, sounds of nature, the beat is sometimes fast and sometimes slow & ambient, and it puts you into a kind of a trance and while you dance you release negative energy(and leave feeling a lot happier & fitter than before!) Generally the people that go to a trance party are spiritual, happy & friendly, although like anywhere there are the odd few creeps. Trance parties have beatiful psychedelic luminous 3D art, often there are rooms where there are natural healers & food & clothing stalls. Trance is really just another word for meditation. Trance dancing has in fact even been developed into a healing life tool...as you can see here. It has also become a way of liberating your creative life force in Shivarea yoga. The best trance parties are those that are outdoors (like in SA, Brazil, Australia, Israel, Hungary, Spain, Morocco..) 'cos then you are dancing somewhere really beautiful, beneath the sun, moon and stars, normally barefoot and free! No doubt you think I'm a strange one, but don't judge what you've never tried ;-)

11.17....

On Friday night I met Sanel for a drink or 2 and said my goodbye's and then headed to shelly's house where Jo was too. We sat around & were soon joined by Sanel!!, and we watched some of the Live8 dvd and laughed, cried and sang. If you can watch that video of those starving kids with dry eyes, you're a tough cookie! I didn't feel like travelling home so shared a matress with Sanel, who crept out early in the morning to sort out her 'issues'. Bokster, I miss yoooooo!

Bryony came down on Saturday arvo & we had a great day of shopping and checking out the weird & wonderful shops, people & stuff in camden town on saturday, and then went home to meet Jo, who twisted our rubber arms to go to meet friends in Brick Lane(east) with her. I was planning to post pics of us 3 with some of Jodene's fun & lively brazillian, spanish, english & polish friends but yesterday i forgot my camera & today I forgot my usb cable!!

Sorry this post is all over this place and in the wrong order...this stupid thing won't let me cut & paste!!

Farewell fluffy friends xxx
