KIA HEALING
!Kia is the healing experience of an altered state, enhanced consciousness, a trance, as obtained through the healing trance dance of the Kalahari !Kung.
When the n/um (spiritual energy) heats and rises through the spine to rest at the base of the skull, the opportunity for !Kia becomes available.
“You dance, dance, dance. Then n/um lifts you up in your belly and lifts you in your back, and then you start to shiver. [N/um] makes you tremble, it’s hot. . . . Your eyes are open but you don’t look around; you hold your eyes still and look straight ahead. But when you get into !kia, you’re looking around because you see everything, because you see what’s troubling everybody . . . n/um enters every part of your body right to the tip of your feet and even your hair.” Richard Katz, Boiling Energy
!Kia Tremor Trance … The Movement Practice
A comprehensive practice including Tantra yoga, Tantra Breathing, and Tremor Trance Dance utilizing the intuitive movement arts of our bodies’ orgasmic and bliss potential.
Inspired by the !kia trance of the Kalahari !Kung people of my home country, South Africa, we follow a systematic approach to facilitate unobstructed flow of the body’s energetic channels for a Full Body Kundalini Activation.
Through Somatic Release practices, the body gets to let go of shame and trauma accumulated in the pelvis, because what happens in your pelvis happens in your life.
I share this practice so we can move beyond self-consciousness and share the experience of community healing through dance.
Why Kia Healing?
The mere manner through which to reach an enhanced state of consciousness requires an, all-or-nothing approach, of compassion, non-judgment, prolonged presence and interest. By applying these qualities in such a focused manner, healing on all levels, is spontaneously initiated.
All the modalities I practice contains the strong element of enhanced consciousness for personal and communal healing.
