Through my precious and long professional life-course as a holistic physiotherapist I came ‎to believe ‎that our body is simultaneously Form and Energy. The first contact of a human ‎being is with his/her ‎body and its functions. Cold, heat, music, rhythm and dance are stimuli ‎which provide the sense of ‎well-being. I love my body when it dances. My mind is allayed ‎of thoughts and intellectual resistances, ‎my body speaks and takes a new form, it is ‎liberated, its energy changes, acquires a new shape, finds ‎new expressions of joy, ‎sensitivity, love, gratitude to life. Five years ago, I encountered, and made ‎contact with, ‎oriental dancing and Mariam. Her approach to oriental dance impressed me and ‎stimulated ‎my interest. She spoke of the “harmonization of femininity through oriental dancing”. ‎Soon ‎after, I became her disciple. I experienced the energy and strength at the epicentre of my ‎body, ‎in the navel, in the Hara area of my belly, source, in Japanese tradition, of sexual ‎energy and of my ‎femininity. Performing this dance, under the persistent guidance of ‎Mariam, I experienced the ‎incredible power concealed in the swaying of the hips, in ‎combination with the movement of the spinal ‎column and the sacrum bone. A warm liquid ‎runs through my spine up to the neck, and hence emerge ‎a clarity of mind, feelings of love, ‎joy, harmony, a novel communication leading me to a space of ‎acceptance and freedom. ‎It is time for women to be cured through the process of harmonization of ‎femininity, to be ‎reconciled with their sex, to contemplate their beauty, to accept their power, to feel ‎the ‎embrace of love, to become tender mothers. Mariam, your affection for oriental dancing ‎has ‎showed us a new path of joy and freedom. Thank you so much!‎
