Dance is an expanded field that can be linked to states of consciousness, to devotional, healing, ecstatic and mystical aspects. This article explores these connections through the lenses of yogic science, specifically the yoga and meditation practices of Kundalini Yoga and Kriya Yoga. It delves into the profound connection between dance and consciousness, drawing on the author’s experiences as both a yogini and a dancer. Through a creative journey rooted in the fusion of yogic science, psychomagic and choreographic thought, the author navigates the intricate links between yoga, meditation and dance. By integrating different aspects of herself – creative researcher, yogini, artist, woman and academic – the author reflects on a transdisciplinary encounter that reveals the subtle essence of dance and its connections with yogic science. This article narrates a journey unveiling the sacred copulation between dance and yoga, birthing diverse forms of movement and creative expression. Through a practice-led research and creative process, the author embarks on a personal exploration, embodying the dance of feminine and masculine, pain and pleasure, bliss and contention, where the waters of her ancestral narratives and feminine lineage are ready to be cleared and alchemized. The article references trauma and healing-creative practices through dance.
