THE TESTIMONIALS OF SCHOOL STUDENTS, FACILITATORS AND TUTORS

RESILIENCE

​

​ Resilience is a resource and a quality that we should all develop in our life, it should be taught in school along with empathy. It was precisely biodance that helped and trained me to move from resistance to life events to flexibility within life events.
The path of biodance for me has been and is a resilient path because it works on the identity of the participant, on his self-esteem, increasing his confidence in life.
It is an existential rehabilitation and highlights the unexpected resources we have, even after traumatic events, wounds, offenses, etc; thus the resilient process is evolutionary, it makes us reborn from our own ashes, reconnecting us to our inner strength, rediscovering courage and the joy of living.
Being resilient means resisting shocks without breaking, and of course it happens within a path of inner awareness. “The world breaks everyone and then many are strong in their broken points”, so Ernest Hemingway said. I have learned that we must be wise enough to understand that when we cannot change circumstances, we must change ourselves.
Biodanza, above all through the movement of fluidity, flexibility and lightness, invites us every time to experience resilience, to recognize that we hold the scepter of our life, that our personal power, our resources, our potentials are the tools  we have at our disposal to transform adversities and obstacles into opportunities and solutions, thanks to a vivacious training that allows us to cross our feelings and relive continuous rebirths and transformations.
As the philosopher Giordano Bruno said to his disciple, in his last farewell speech before being burned alive at the stake, "... Man is not bad, Sagredo, he is just unhappy ... it is his little mind that is the cause of his unhappiness ... The day will come, Sagredo, that man will wake up from oblivion and finally understand who he really is and who has given up the reins of his existence, to a deceptive, lying mind, which makes him and keeps him a slave ... Look inside yourself , Sagredo, listen to your inner voice and remember that the only true Master is the Being who whispers within you. Listen to it: it is the Truth and it is within you. You are divine, never forget it ”.
In feeling that we have within us, resilience becomes for me the art of being able, despite the apparent frailties, to always say yes to life, accepting what we cannot change and trying to improve what can be changed, and often that we are something.
