Movement is joy. At any age,
we can recapture the joy of mov-
ing freely. Even in little ways.
It begins with our mind, our
breathing and our expectation.
As Einstein once said, “Life is
like riding a bicycle. In order to
stay balanced, you have to keep
moving.”
So how do we do that once our
bodies creak and cause us pain?
Music is the powerful ally in
the challenge to stay mobile as
we age. Washing over our brain
and evoking emotion and mem-
ory, music helps us to remember
who we are. Music makes us
want to move, no matter what
our limitations or physical chal-
lenges may be.
Dance paired with music
releases stress and anxiety,
energizing one’s mindset. A
seated dance offers imaginative
ways to improve senior’s muscle
strength, flexibility, coordination
and balance. When we come
together as a class to dance to
music, we mirror our awareness,
witness each other, listen to each
other physically, and beauty is
found in our luminous presence.
We all need ways to reconnect
to our authentic selves. Because
of the limitations of age, seniors
can also do this even from a
chair.
This particular activity has
tremendous value for seniors,
from those living independently
or in assisted living, or even in
memory care communities. It is
often their only opportunity to
integrate stretching, movement,
meditation and dance, all in one
activity. And this integration
leads to liberation. The value for
elders – even more than what
was credited in the study – is
that it gives them an opportu-
nity to move and embrace their
vitality.s
