Less Is More #TangoZen #LessIsMore #Mindfulness

Less is more. Really? Most people nod their heads when they hear “Less is more.” It means having fewer things can lead to a better or more impactful result. For example, in design, using clean lines and few elements can make a design more powerful and effective. Last Sunday, I led a Tango Zen workshop in Nardo, Italy. There, I got to experience the warm hospitality of Southern Italians and eat plenty of delicious seafood. bit.ly/3jKlHa7 During the Tango Zen workshop, partic

Dancing with hearth

☯ We come across situations or words that we understand, feel, or taste but can't put into words. "Dancing with heart" is one of these phrases, in my opinion. Between 2008 and 2012, I lived in Buenos Aires. As a tango dancer, living in Buenos Aires for four years and dancing almost every night was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. One night at a milonga, a tanguera told me, "We Porteños dance tango with heart." I said, "That sounds great! How can I learn to dance with my heart

🧸Beginner’s Mind

☯ In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few. —Shunryu Suzuki 🕉 When we dance Tango with a partner, it opens up a world of possibilities as long as our minds are open to new experiences and knowledge. 🕉 Zen teaches us to approach the world with a humble, "I don't know" attitude, which is called a "beginner's mind." With a beginner's mind, what matters is a willingness to adapt to and learn from the current situation, not insisting

☯ Expressing Our Nature—Buddha Nature

🕉 Buddha nature refers to the innate potential within all beings to achieve enlightenment or Buddhahood. It is not limited to the practice of Zen or Tango, but can be achieved through any spiritual practice. We dance Tango to express our true nature, not attempting to accomplish anything special. ☯ The purpose of Zen practice is to express our nature— the Self or our own Buddha nature, without any desire to accomplish something. When we dance Tango, we should express our tru

Practice, practice, practice... #tango #meditation #meditate #mindfulness

Maintaining a sense of repetition is essential if we want to achieve complete mental absorption and release when dancing Tango. The Zen way of doing anything is striving for excellence via meticulous attention to detail. By practicing specific routines over and over again, we may train ourselves to excellence without having to think about it. This means that it is OK to repeatedly use the same fundamental moves when practicing or dancing Tango. Tango Zen www.tangozen.com #Tan

Lead, follow, surrender

☯ Dancing tango is to lead, follow, and surrender. But to what do you surrender? ☯ Surrendering in tango means giving up control and letting the person in the lead guide you. In a tango dance, the leader decides where the dance goes and how fast it goes. The follower gives up control and trusts the leader to lead them through the dance. 🕉 This surrender has both a physical and an emotional component. The follower must let go of their own wants and plans and be in the moment,

👫Two Bodies, One Heart ❤️

👫Two Bodies, One Heart ❤️ When two partners embrace to dance Tango, the connection has to be established and sustained throughout the dance. Zen invites us to experience Oneness by transcending all the differences separating two opposite sides. In Tango, we should have no room for Separateness, which is the opposite of Oneness. Between partners, when we embrace and dance, we must strive to become One, dancing along in the Universe in harmony. ☎️ DM me if you're interested in
