The Dance of the Vajra is a method of movement in contemplation.

The difference between of meditation and contemplation methods is that when we meditate we concentrate and apply the mind. Contemplation means that the mind does not concentrate on anything, but is observant to the train of thoughts and conditions arising in relation to our three existences, without modifying or judging them to be correct or incorrect. This way we discover the “real” condition, the illusion of the continuous, projecting mind.

The simple, slow and fluid movements of Dance relax the body, clear the mind, and relieve the tensions of our daily life.

Through dancing we activate and coordinate specific energy points in our body according to an ancient knowledge of channels and chakras. In this way the Vajra Dance dissolves energy blocks, harmonizes the three main aspects of our being – body, energy and mind – and develops presence and awareness.
