As a dancer the alignment of the body is where one’s consciousness needs to be.  It’s about how the body is aligned so as to take advantage of the aerodynamics of movement and to accentuate the beauty of body’s movement.  Our eyes are drawn to the lines created in different poses.  There is a reason why we pay attention when standing at attention.  Being in alignment makes sense to us in a fundamental way we don’t even have to consciously think about.  When our bodies are aligned they function better.  When our minds our aligned with the movement and processes of our body it is called flow.  When our hearts are aligned with our spirit it is called joy.  When our hearts, minds, and spirits are aligned it is called power. When our hearts and minds are aligned with God it is called miraculous.  When we are aligned with other human beings it is called peace.  Conversely when our body is not in alignment we are in pain, inflammation,  discomfort, or achy.  When our body is not in alignment with our minds and heart we are disgruntled, depressed, angry, frustrated, negative, or hopeless. When we are not in alignment with ourselves, with others and with God we experience pain, discomfort, frustration, anger, discord, violence, and suffering.  If we are to function well and thrive in this world we are called to pay attention to our alignment.  God is ready and willing to assist us with any adjustments needed.

My prayer for us is the willingness to pay attention to our alignment within ourselves, others, and God and know when to reach out for an adjustment today.
