Dancing with God
'Dancing with God'
I don’t know where this expression came from. The only thing I know is that I heard it in my mind while my eyes were half closed. Lying on my bed, trying to sleep, I felt my pulse rising and heart pounding against my chest so hard that my whole body started resonating with the heart beat. I could almost feel my temples throbbing and blood rushing through my veins; lying motionless in a helpless state, I could feel my respiration slowing down. Suddenly a haze of colors filled my vision and I could see, even with my eyes closed, splashes of beautiful and bright colors surrounding my head. Absolutely clueless of what was happening to me, I surrendered to the mystical power which seemed to have overpowered me at that moment.
An Esoteric experience
I felt myself disintegrating into countless pieces, each of which, to my surprise, looked exactly like me. It seemed as if I was watching my clones with my own eyes. The feeling was inexplicable and beyond the understanding of my ethereal mind. I saw my clones dancing in ecstasy to the tune of a melodious music which itself was mesmerizing. There was, most certainly, everything celestial about the whole experience. It felt like transcending, beyond the limits of my physical body, into a timeless zone filled with peace, tranquility and spectacular white light. While those dancing beams of light seeped into me, all those deep seated fears and worries which had been troubling me for ages seemed to disappear. I stood there bathing in that white and flawlessly crystalline light with an angelic smile on my face. I had never felt so filled up and complete in my life before.
Dancing had been a dream…
When I was younger, I used to picture myself dancing in a moonlit and starry night with the man of my dreams. Sounds like a usual fantasy of any woman in her adolescence! I might have lived on with this unfulfilled dream and possibly buried it somewhere in my subconscious mind unknowingly. That perhaps would explain the phenomenal experience I had. As I believe in “all for a reason” concept, I strongly feel that some unseen power wanted me to see how fulfilling and magical it would be to dance with God rather than any earthly being. I’m sure dancing with a man, no matter how exquisitely charming and loving he might be, would never have brought tears of joy to my eyes, the way dancing with my Higher Self did. For the first time in my life I was shown what exactly ‘harmony’ between ‘ethereal self’ and ‘higher self’ meant.
When Gods dance
I learnt that ‘dancing’ does not have to be taken in the literal sense alone; it could mean dancing to the tune of the Almighty and surrendering to Him in all situations, no matter how good or worse. It could even mean rejoicing with Him and merging our own entity with His, as we happen to be an inseparable part of His being. It means being aware of our source and final destination; we are born from that ‘eternal light’ and are destined to merge in the same light at the end of our long and burdensome journey. No wonder we have stories of Gods dancing in Hindu and Greek mythology. Terpsichore, better known as mother of divine singing (‘Terpo’ means delight and ‘chorus’ stands for dance), was the Muse of dance and dramatic chorus as per Greek mythology. She is mostly depicted playing lyre while in some other pictures she is shown with a triangle and flute. The same way, Lord Krishna, in Hindu mythology is shown playing flute while dancing with his female devotees who are shown gyrating to his music notes under the magical spell of His love. Likewise Hindu scriptures show pictures of Lord Shiva (Nataraja) doing the ‘dance of death’ (Tandava) symbolizing the end of this world.
Ecstasy of Dancing with God
The feeling of oneness with God can be described as simple Ecstasy which fills or rather nourishes our soul to the deepest and unexplored level. Nothing can be as rejuvenating, resuscitating and energizing as dancing with Him to His tune. We spend our entire lives looking for someone who could make us feel happy and alive but ironically, we fail to dig into a massive resource of happiness which we all are born with. That wealth of happiness lies dormant in us, waiting for us to discover it, and rejoice in being the proud owners of the hidden treasure. Don’t waste time looking around….look inside your own self!

Thank you Anjali for your encouraging words! I feel more confident about what I am feeling these days. I hope I embark on this spiritual journey soon.
wow...great concept! I feel like dancing with God too i.e surrendering to the Almighty which would bring immense joy to me! How can I experience this? Olate,I am finding myself drawn to spiritualism. Is the sign of a slow beginning of my spiritual journey? I am not sure but I have decided to start meditation and see where I go from there!
I rated this "awesome"...it reminded me of a hub I wrote on guided imagery for celebration...where the imagery is of dancing with Jesus
And thank-you for your openess!
Thanks for your reply!
I love the way you say they happened "without any conscious effort...".
Interesting to hear that you were a lawyer and what you learned from that.My father is a retired lawyer.
Also,interesting to hear of your environmental interests.
I would be grateful if you would look at one of my hubs about The Amazon Herb Company.And leave a comment.
Thank-you.It is https://hubpages.com/hub/Amazon-Herb-Company
And may your heart be opened by all the gifts that come your way.

Thanks anja for sharing your experience.
And what wonderful comments and dialogue and sharing.
Refreshing.
May i ask,since the experience,what have you been doing?.
Have you wanted to have the experience again,maybe looking for something like it again?.I know i had a spiritual type experience a while back and a large part of me couldn't rest as i wanted it again.(Or thought i did).
Do you have a spiritual practice of any kind that may support the gift that you were obviously given.
Happy 2010.
When you write from the soul you are writing through the mind of god. It is a beautiful expression in reference to some one's acquaintance with the divine source. Dancing with God touched me within for we all share God's rhythm and music within.
Thanks again, I am joining your fan club and am going to read through more of your stuff. I expect to be feeling your words as they are from the heart. :-)
Beautiful hub.
Words of wisdom and written by the magical hand of god.
Thanks for such an inspiring piece of writing. You've touched s few hearts on here.
Very enchanting :-)
It was a message from God...So you were right in your feelings.
After I got this message for you..the love God was sending you, continued emitting from my own heart.
It was so strong it overwhelmed me.
It has only been one other time this has happened.
So spiritually beautiful. As I read your hub I started to cry. I've read beautiful words before but yours wasn't just beautiful. For, within your words I saw God. As I cried Elohim told me you are his pure and much loved child.
His love came through my very own heart.
God has surrounded you with angels for protection and blessings. Ask anything of God, He wants to give to you even more then he already has.
Nice Hub!
this is an excellent description of that feeling.
What a beautiful hub. Kudos for writing such a wonderful hub. I really enjoyed it reading

thanks for share, interesting tittle. and I like to read it. great topic
Your poll asks if we have experienced things like this. Option C: "Things like this don't exist." I'm glad to see that no one voted for option C. If you have experienced this you know it exists. If you haven't you can still listen to those it has happened to. Or if you are like me you have had 'similar' things happen in your life but interpret them differently.
I lot of people describe what they experience in their minds and it seems there are so many people who experience similar things. Is this God speaking to us? Is He warning us of what is to come? Is God just allowing us to experience an enjoyable level of existence? Or is it an evil spirit tricking us? Could the Bible be correct when it describes Satan as the great deceiver? Could Satan be pretending to be an angel of light to make people think that they are ok, that all will be well after death, that they don't need Jesus? Or is this type of experience simply our brains taking a vacation, shifting into neutral for a while, or doing maintenance like a computer defrag? Is it anything more than a dream? Is it anything less than a glimpse of eternity? Lots of questions. No answers. But it makes you think. And thinking can be fun sometimes.
I am in awe! -Beautiful divine intervention with your dance with God! Ostensibly any time you face any challenges in life all you have to do is reflect on this Esoteric experience that is etched in your heart and mind and it will carry you through- lift your spirits and warm your heart.

Vision is not sight. It is the palette upon which our senses paint pictures. You described going beyond the senses that filter truth beautifully! When you consider that the physical realm of the universe is but half of what really exists, it makes sense that your "Dance with God" was truly an experience of crossing over into the part of the universe only seen without sight!
It is really true.Dancing with God is possible because you longed to do that. Simlar experience is that I wanted to talk to God for a business proposal's advise.I was thinking about it. I did not disclose to anyone. I did not talk aloud about it. Suddenly a lady walking beside in the street replied with a clear voice. God exists to every one. Thanks Anjalichugh
Anjali: Your description of your experience gave me goosebumps, The experience you had of connection with the Divine is a blessing! The part that got my attention is when you felt all your traumas and sorrows melt away, that is a merging with Love. Thank you for sharing this experience.
Thank you for this Hub. Connection with divine is exctasy, joy, immortality, love. eternity...
You described your experience on so nice way.
I enjoyid it so much, and thank you for reminding me how nice is to swimm in the waves of eternity and oneness.
