So, I’mmmmmmmmmmmm back. I’ve processed much of my Tango meltdown. What is arising from my processing is a substantial increase of my output. I would say I am at about 55% of my capability to put my Self out in the Tango world and will experience an even greater increase in the days to come.
Tango has become an incredible vehicle for personal therapy, spiritual growth, interpersonal skill development, political skill development and physical therapy. It is somewhat unbelievable to outsiders of Tango as to the benefits that truly exist within the dance of Tango.
Meltdowns are essentially breakdowns, and what is on the other side of breakdowns when processed are breakthroughs. I love Tango to no end. I am about to experience a whole world of Tango during this upcoming festival here in Denver, and look forward to whatever breakdowns and breakthroughs I may have. And of course, the utter bliss that awaits is electrifying my air.
I have found that the ability to process emotions is directly related to the ability to cultivate many skills within Tango (and life). And the greater processing ability one has, the greater speed in which Tango skills can be cultivated. The opposite is also in effect – if one has a challenging time processing emotions and emotional issues, the harder it is to make progress in cultivating Tango skills.
About last night – I attended the very popular Tuesday night practica at the Denver Turnverein. Over 150 people attended, with some out-of-towners showing up early for our big festival. I want to share my deep gratitude for what the sole founder and organizer Tom Stermitz has created – the Denver Memorial Day and Labor Day festivals. These festivals attract many wonderful dancers from around the world into our community, and infuse my own being with many experiences, connection, a deepening of Tango skills, and overall bliss. I am inspired to manifest dancing at 2-3 festivals every month!
