I just returned from a fabulous Speaking of Women's Health event in Columbia, Missouri. The event planners were wonderful at helping me convey the message that women need more Vitamin "P" (Pleasure) in their diets. As you may know from reading my book "Create the Body Your Soul Desires," the original meaning of the word "diet" is "a manner of living."
What I loved about this event is that they opened with a performance by the bellydance troup "The Dragonflies." These dancers, under the direction of an amazing woman named Kandi Grossman, mesmerized the 550 women in attendance. Their movements were graceful, powerful and filled with pleasure. What a great way to set the tone for a presentation on women's health!
Midway through my presentation I invited the women to join me in simple dance movements - and the event organizers came through the audience with boas. Imagine 550 women dancing with boas! Red boas, black boas, pink boas, white boas, purple boas....what a sight!
Scientifically I know that we collectively produced enough serotonin and beta-endorphin to completely shift every woman's mood. In my heart I know that if women will continue to dance like there's nobody watching and enjoy the pleasure of being in their bodies, we can create a positive shift in the world....one woman at a time.
