Let's Chant

Dance in the Fire!

Shiva Nataraja dances inside the ring of fire; TED translation: when the Red Zone lights up, we don’t slam the brakes or floor it—we take the wheel. One hand says “fear not,” another holds the flame; one foot steadies the small ignorance, the other offers refuge. In practice, that’s a cooling breath, a curious look at the part that’s angry, and a soft step back into center. Dancing in the fire means letting awareness steer and compassion be the throttle—so the same heat that once burned becomes light for the road ahead. Emotion is the note. You are the song.
