Physiology & Medicine / Re: Why do we dance?

« on: 14/05/2017 08:06:26 »

Yes ..Your Dancing skills can get better with age if you continually listen to music and try to dance.. picking the most prominent points for your dancing to pick up on.. Dance to the rhythm your body feels when you close your eyes.. allow your body to pick its own rhythm to dance to. I think we dance because it feels so good weather slow or fast. Its fun even if we really cannot dance! Its more then that though there is a certain energy in Dancing that I do not feel any other time.. I love dancing and miss it,,,

Jccc, I am with you I gave my heart away and have loved and still love so much, Love is a never ending learning process it is not like a cookie cutter where you learn to love and that's it, Love continually grows and changes over time because we continually change and evolve over time also! If you truly love some one it is not suffocating or smothering great in the beginning, most love is incredibly intense and the feeling are very powerful, and to some might seem smothering, but if there is trust and real true love that love continues to grow and blossom going through changes and different stages where you learn to love in many different ways according to each others needs... Eventually our bodies change and our physical as well as mental needs change too.. If we are lucky the person we have chosen also grows in their abilities to continually learn how to love our partners.. I think sometimes that some  people leave their situations because of inability to learn to love  in other ways  or to grow,, That's not to say that some relationships are just not savable and some people just cannot  stay with those they once cared so much for.. Some situations can become unhealthy and scary.. That's sad, but in those circumstances the separations are healthy and can be incredibly  good for both parties. Any ways .. I hope you keep your love strong and I am sorry you miss your loved  one so much I understand that very much,, My heart always holds true love close.. Its nurturing and its memories are incredibly healing.. Being loved and giving love in return is a very special gift, and its not something we all get a chance to experience aside from our parental relationships which are very different then the love between a man and a women in a passionate relationship! Hope to see you posting again and hope your love for science is still thriving!

THANK YOU ALAN FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE, AND LIKE YOU AND JIM BOB, I TOO HAVE HAD a NDE...as a child and adult.

I still will be sitting or doing something when I am suddenly taken aback as if it were happening again, and besides  the few similarities, I felt myself move up from my body, and felt as if I was hovering over myself, and several others in the rogom ! I am still aware of what Is happening with everyone in room, their ongoing  conversations continue,  but when this happens now,  and it still does... thats when I relive the NDE.

 I felt ascention and an incredibly bright light that seemed blinding, but it wasnt, it was a pure, warm bright light. As I moved upward I could see hands, outstrtched an welcoming. The voices of loved ones the feelings of their presence, without the visualization of their faces. It was just the knowledge in my own heart and mind of who they were. Then I heard  a very masculine, but gentle voice saying, that I had things left unfinished, things to do, and I needed to go back. The light on my face and body felt like a gentle hand on my cheek...Then  a slow steady descending feeling came over me, and again the I was seeing the most brilliant light, and hearing the gentle voice which seemed farther away now,  but still clear! ....It is my very first memory of my life... Its the earliest memory I have, and it left me with an undoubting knowledge of the presence of Jesus, or if you will, others might prefer a higher being...A knowledge that no matter what kind of scientific types of explanations I tried to assign to the events, it always comes down to undeniable knowledge that I have of a higher power..for me Jesus. There are even at times when I am in  depression and sickness, that life has made me doubt that presence.... but,  that is is when something happens and I reexperience the ascending sensation and can again find myself looking down from above myself! Its definitely OOB experience and my spirit if you will leaves the shell below, and I can feel my own being or spirit above myself, as if shedding my body below, but taking all else above....Then I hear that same voice and sink quietly back into the place I left. I cannot explain why, and I won't argue it with anybody,  but I will tell you that it is a very sacred, private memory, and experience for me. I only share it on occasion like this, because you are not alone..and while we share similarities, I think each persons experience is different...and that its not a debaitable event! Even though 1 person experiences it one way, we need to remember that we are each very individual in our personalities, as well as how we experience physical and spiritual events that we have! ...Its like  having a heart attack.  There are similarities about symptoms, but also differences in how each of us experience the heart attack... I have had 3 as a infant, and another 3 as an adult....each one different as for the physical pain for me...

I have an incredible love for life, and love of people. A knowledge of where I will be after this life, and no fear of death itself... My worries come from thinking about going without my children... being without them even though I know I will see them again, it bothers me... I assume time here  will go slowly, but it will be the blink of an eye for me... so I worry for them and for me not being ready to let go of them long enough to move on.

I must sound like a nut to you but I believe what you experienced was very real, and most importantly you know it was, and it does not matter what anyone else thinks, or believes...  You know in your heart and You know its undeniable, no doubts for you..  I believe you were blessed by the knowledge, and not many people get that blessing,  and they go through their life looking for the knowlede of weather there is or isnt truth in a higher spirit or Jesus, but you found a truth in your experience...We are lucky...but mostly blessed!

I always like to read something like this. That is usually a bit hard to find valuable information on the internet. And I found your post using Yahoo and I can say I the time spent was worth reading.
