There is a tribe in Africa that believes that each person is born with his own song.  The song is revealed mystically to the mother even before her child is born, and then the mother teaches the whole tribe the song. The tribe sings the song upon the child’s birth to welcome him to the world. The tribe sings that song to the child as he goes through rites of passage like adulthood, marriage and even death. And, when that person commits a crime or wrongdoing, the entire tribe sings his song to him, to remind the person who he/she really is.

Your song is your true nature. Indeed, some people have translated this song inside into an actual melody – they sing their song to celebrate who they are, and to remind them of their strength in times of trouble.

Your song can be manifested in different ways – and not necessarily in a melody. You can bring out your song by doing work you love or by making art. You can also bring your song to life by dancing it. And by dancing, it does not mean dancing with carefully planned steps, but rather, dancing intuitively, making movements that feel right to you but which may not make sense.

When dancing your song, it is best to dance to no particular music, so that the music won’t particularly influence your movements. Drumbeats, particularly beats with no melodies, can help bring out your natural movements.

Just dance – move without thinking, and you might be surprised what your body will do.
