如果你想要突破現有困境，那麼最迅速、最簡潔、最喜悅的方式就是跳舞了。我指的不是站著隨音樂搖擺，我說的是一種跳舞的境界，你跳得很深、很強烈……直到一切都消失，只剩下舞蹈本身。只剩下節奏，汗水，和熱度。
你的靈魂是一個求道者，一個愛人，一個藝術家。
祂不斷轉換形體，穿梭在原力能量之間，穿梭在黑暗與光明之間，在身體與靈魂之間，天堂與地獄之間……直到你著陸在這個甜美的臣服片刻，直到你，這個舞者，消失在舞之中。
當我在跳舞的時候，舞蹈就像是我的祈禱。
舞蹈就像是一種奉獻。
我把頭獻給舞蹈，我把肩膀獻給舞蹈，我的手肘，雙手，脊椎，膝蓋，雙腳，我的全身，我的骨，我的血，我的經驗，我的苦痛……
我把所有的一切都獻給舞蹈，然後我說：都拿走吧，我願意任憑處置，請將我從這一切之中徹底釋放。
—心靈舞蹈大師，加百列·羅絲
The fastest, cleanest, most joyful way to break out of your own box is by dancing. I’m not talking about doing the stand-and-sway. I’m talking about dancing so deep, so hard, so full of the beat that you are nothing but the dance and the beat and the sweat and the heat.
Your soul is a seeker, lover and artist; shape-shifting through archetypal energy, between your darkness and fields of light, your body and spirit, your heaven and hell, until you land in the moment of sweet surrender; when you, as a dancer, disappear into the dance.
When I am dancing, it feels like my prayer. It’s like an offering. I offer my head back to the dance, I offer my shoulders back to the dance, my elbows, my hands, my spine, my knees, my feet, my whole self, my bones, my blood, my experience, my suffering…
I offer it all back to the dance and I say: take it, do whatever you want with me. Release me.
