These Mystical Dances and Practices are inspired from a variety of ancient traditions that have existed for centuries and are being conserved and practiced throughout the world. We practice sacred art traditions rooted from places such as China, India, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Egypt, North/West Africa & Spain (Iberia), inspiring a world-bonding consciousness through the arts of dance.

As we prepare to receive transmission of ancient tradition and ritual, practice meditation and other sequences, we dance and hold sacred space in unity, we become more self empowered using consciously styled movement, we are also invoking an offering to heal and awaken our minds and bodies using holistic movement methodologies, and we are attuning into a higher vibration of our Divine Femenine and Sacred Masculine energies as well as strengthening the vibrations of our Sacred Universe.

We are called to connect deeper within ourselves we find to realize we are ready to bloom as a stronger flower and harvest a richer fruit to offer it each day to our surrounding communities, to our families, to nature, and to the elements. We are like flowers in a garden, each flower is unique. Each flower grows and has its own unique beauty and fragrance.

To be within and feel our senses, to offer our gifts to our surroundings, and to feel that just being there is not only empowering but transforming, as we participate in combinations of activities such as dance, ancient divine femeninity and sacred masculine rituals, meditation, yoga philosophy, ancient martial art meditations, and theatrical arts in a sacred environment is not only transforming but it gives a deeper meaning to our existence and presence as a person, thus gives us a more empowered awakening and reinforces our quality of life and self worth. Most important, it gives us the assurance that we can give out to others as we transcend beyond obstacles and limitations.

Breathing in the fragrance of the flower bud, the flower bloom, and embodying the delicious taste of the emerging fruit; our bodies, our minds, our hearts, are called to offer the fruit. It is the life force; the Flower Blossom. To acknowledge the selfless giving of a seed, its transformation to flower bud, its gentle blooming petals with exquisite fragrance, and the shedding of its petals after its beauty was offered and the magical transformation into a fruit; to feel that you are the same as this seed to this world, can be a transforming and deep experience.

To reach this self realization of awakening but also to reach an empowerment through self consciousness of your life force's worth, and what this is within you can be described as part of the Azahaarsham community experience.

Just bring your open heart, a water bottle, and your smile to class.

Azahaarsham is:

A name of Flower Blossoms... A name of Breath...

An Invitation to transform into Embodied Dancer, Yogi or Yogini and Embodied Being, a sensory of culture and art as sacredness, and community/world bonding.

Ode



I am Sarasvati,
the graceful flowing of the waters of divine poetry
I cause the river of inspiration to enter the artist
in joyous swirls and fountains
I cause the waves of bliss to take form within the heart,
and emerge as tales of love.
My holy places on earth are small grottoes
of strong light and shade
Where the poet may sit and glide off into blue skies
Overgrown banks of streams, full with grass and wild-flowers
The moss-covered rocks beneath the waterfall
Small places where the body may be left
While the soul flies into the heavens.
I am seen in art nouveau waters, and the golden lakes on Japanese screens
The scroll whose hidden treasure lies in a small cove
The beautiful place in the middle of a field, where a cluster of white flowers grows
Where birds and animals flock by nature, to rest in the warm breezes and dewdrops.
To those on the winding path of the spirit I say:
I am no guide to the top of the snowy mountains
My home is amid peace and beauty, the swirling of water and music
I work with those who wish to give to the world
Who return from the heights or who have not begun their journey
Who give their love to the world and not to distant gods.
To them I give the gift
Of lovely speech and beautiful voice
Ideas which do no hesitate, but dance out into the world
Waves of creativity which have only need of media for expression
Music and dance which occur spontaneously and are perfect
I give patience to the potter, a keen eye to the artist
I form the words of affection in the mouth of the lover
I give rhythm and melody to the musician, so that he does not play
But acts as a channel for the music of the universe.

I have no taste for bickering gods who rule the skies
Nor those so high that they do not wish to communicate
My love is grace and beauty, the joys of creation
I flow in the river, and down the waterfall
Rushing in whirlpools, and rising slowly in shining bubbles
To alight besides a lone musician
To fill him with the love and grace of the universe.
