In her other life, Daleela practices Shamanic Belly Dance and is a Shamanic Therapist/Practitioner. As part of her shamanic practice, she teaches others how to connect to the Creator and a higher spiritual realm through movement, particularly using movements stemming from one’s power center or navel area. Belly dance is an earthy dance centered in the pelvis, hips and abdomen. It therefore grounds you, centers you in your power before you dare journey to other realms. There is a way to release one’s spirit through the use of the body. There is a way to meet our creator through connecting more deeply to our creature hood and our bodies. This is a different train of thought than the belief that one must transcend the body to reach a higher state of consciousness.
