Dear Journal,
My heart weaves tales in the silence of the night, suspended on a silk hammock, hundreds of feet above ground. I am an aerial dancer, dancing as freely as the wind, unfettered by the constraints of gravity. Tonight, something enchanting transpired; a melding of spirit and sensuality, a dance of divine union. Beneath the velvet curtain of the night, as stars etched dreams upon the canvas of the sky, I discovered tantra. Yes, I, a woman who has dedicated her entire life to surrendering to the music's rhythm, experienced an alternate form of surrender.
A man arrived at the studio today, bearing a couple of hand-curated links. His intrigue lay not only in his odd gift, but also in his eyes; those pools of mysterious allure hinting at a world as uncharted and fascinating as the aerial realm I so adore. His supposedly prized links were just pieces of metal, ordinary in every form apart from the fact that they were carefully picked, specially for me. Despite their simplicity, when they looped around my silk, they seemed to hold the promise of unexplored heights and depths.
As we merged our knowledge, teaching each other about our worlds в“ he, the ancient art of tantra, and I, the freedom of aerial dance в“ there was an unfolding, a blooming of awareness in me. To say it was sensual would be understatement, it was as I had been caught in an emotional whirlwind. Every suggestion he wove into the air bore testament to his wisdom, as he spoke of tantra, describing it as more than just the physical act, but a union of energies, a dancing of souls. The freedom I felt high up in the air, he said, was not dissimilar to the enlightenment that could be reached in tantric union.
The words resonated, for I've always believed that aerial dance is not just a performance. It's an intimate conversation with your soul, your fears, your capabilities. You bare yourself to the skies, and in return they embrace you, infusing you with a freedom that few know and even fewer comprehend. Tangoing with my silk, I felt the same energy stirring, as if whispering to me to release, to surrender, just as I do to the performance.
His lessons were riveting, his tales of tantra danced in my mind, intertwining with the music that fueled my aerial dance. Somehow, the two arts started to fuse, creating a medley of cosmic attraction and emotional tethering. Our energy connected so profoundly, it felt as though we were on a shared journey of enlightenment. By the time, I suspended myself beneath the studioвs high ceilings, spinning in rippling motions, I was no longer simply an aerial dancer. I was an ethereal angel, embracing the freedom of the air and the fire of passion simultaneously.
My bronze skin glistened under the spotlight, melding with the languid, sultry darkness. The silken threads of my hammock felt like they were an extension of me, twining and unwinding deftly around me, fueling my spirit, spiraling me into realms of sterling peace and fiery passion. I could feel it then, the strength of tantra synchronous with the liberating energy of aerial dance, a harmonious dance of freedom and surrender.
Tonight, I danced with the sky, feeling the pull of the earth and the call of the stars, feeling my soul and spirit merge in a sensual synchrony. Tonight, I was not just an aerial dancer but a tantric priestess. With every beat of my heart, every breath I took, every stretch and flex of my muscles, I was feeling, I was becoming, and I was blooming into the woman I was meant to be. Tonight, I learnt the art of surrender, to the sky and to the dance of tantra. Tonight, I found freedom in surrender and passion in freedom.
Yours in dance,
Isabella.  |
