What has it done for you???

funny thing about belly dancing...doesnt do a heck of a lot to your abs (well it does something) but it does a heck of a lot to your obliques ie, those big muscles on your sides then you can show off your muscle and say hey! check this out! hehehehe

I have found my center. That little world we all enter when the moves link up right and the music is fresh and you couldn't possibly see yourself doing anything else, when you smile for no reason and you regain that child-like invincibility

I find no greater peace than when i am surrounded by these spinning strings

------------------
Care of other people's approval and you become their prisoner.
Live fully, Rave wholly.
Fluid are the movements of my strings...

Oh Hooray! Pele starts thee best threads! Just when the Wellington wind and hostel life was getting me down, all of the firedancers who share their hearts, pick me up again...
Spinning picks me up, and if there's a cyclone outside, like there is now, and no space to spin inside, I think about it in my head...I put on my walkman, and flow through the moves...
My heart is slowly but surely healing with every circle, every spiral. There is true love.
Much love and fire spirit to you all... Faerie Firebell....

Although a relative new commer to fire-twrilin, I've been surrounded by it since I was about 15. I've always been amazed by the way it draws me in, it's so mesmorizing. It takes me to places within myself that only my imagination can dream of and leaves me be until the night runs out and I return to reality. For me, this and the idea of belonging to a collective group with a similar interest but still being able to express my uniqueness and individualtity is what's got me hooked. I'm yet to see any physical chnges but I'm sure if you looked upon my mind you'd see that it had grown, that my lonlieness was slowly being beaten back and that I've learnt more about myself twirling than anything else I've ever done.
Anyway, those are just some of my thoughts on the matter... sorry to bore you all...

Moonbeam,

I've been meaning to respond to this topic for ages but just haven't had time. You've said exactly what I wanted to say. Thank you for expressing it so well.

I wasn't even a little bit bored!
