Tandava - the dance of eternal freedom
Often depicted in the traditional iconography of northern India, Kashmir and Tibet, Tandava is an extremely slow, mystical dance and non-linear movement practice.
Through its refrain from intentions, one can create an expansion of the body into space, an experience of absence of limits that leads to a non-dual awareness and absorption of the Self-undistinguished from the Cosmos, the Void, the Dark.
The seemingly empty space around us becomes our dance partner as we slowly allow the waves of life to move our body and merge with the universe around us as a mystical union of totality.
This hybrid practice connects body, heart and spirit as one and is designed to remember our infinite free and unconditioned nature.
Tandava is more than a practice, it is quality of eternal freedom and inner spaciousness that diffuses into the daily life perception of those who embody it.
Bellow is a short film “A touch from the void” co-created with Fashia, that puts in image the essence of what Tandava is for Laura
“Here is a magical and easeful creation and depiction of the inner state of ecstatic spaciousness in which I have taken refuge into any time the human experience felt too erratic.
Through the practice of Tandava, I have remembered a pathway to return home through an inner stillness that give space to the emergence of life through me. A place in which I can rest, trust and surrender, be moved by the ecstatic beauty of life...
This is my core, a place I haven't left many in through majority of my existence, a place in which I'd like to invite you in to eventually experience together the ONE core of life that's hidden amongst the chaotic resistance of life.”
