The Golden Mantra 

Is a Movement Pattern that primarily works through the skeletal system, using visualisation, active imaginational and somatisation. Movements flow from and through the Spine/INavel, shaping curves, waves and spirals through shift of weight, affecting the whole skeletal system.

From the premise of the Inner Navel, which I have named the INavel as the origin of movement, comes a set of instructions that if mindfully applied to all movement, will eventually give freedom and ease to your dance. 

Using the analogy of a car ……. 

My Breath is the fuel

• responsive, receptive and integrated with each and every movement. Dance fuels breath – breath fuels dance. 

My Spine Navel/ INavel is the driver; 

• that guides and gives shape to the whole of my spine 

My Legs are the passenger; 

• they follow the navel and also navigate 

My knees are the suspension; 

• always receptive to the direction of my navel, never locked in straight or bent positions, giving flexibility and fluidly to all my movements.

My feet are the steering; 

• they follow my navel and maintain a relationship to my head, steering my legs, horizontally and vertically. Grounding and supporting my whole body.

My Heart is the engine;

• leading my thoracic spine, echoing my navel, inspiring my spine to be fluid, integrated and multi-directional. 

My head is the key;

releasing forward and up. Freely holding my central axis, maintains a relationship to my feet. Along with the INavel, supporting the relationship between my tail-bone and top of spine/base of skull.

My Pelvis is asleep on the back seat.; 

• it sits in a relaxed yet powerful state. It is receptive, responsive to the directional pull of my Navel and the shaping of my legs in relation to the ground.
