Azul takes us through a journey of awakening consciousness working with the intelligence of the body. The body contains all information needed in order to complete our healing journey and access our full power. Awakening happens by going in and through our humanity and releasing the blocks that hold us back from experiencing our true essence. That is why embodiment is so potent: because it helps us purify and integrate all of our life experiences.
The image of Azul is an upward spiral where we work with embodiment to awaken our hearts. This opens a space for healing, where we can transform our suffering into self-knowledge and awaken the Self with ever deepening awareness, until we come to fully experience ourselves as love. Love is our true essence: it is living effortlessly in the flow of life, fully expressing our gifts and talents, experiencing joy, health and prosperity.
The Spiral is the oldest symbol known to be used in spiritual practices. It reflects the universal pattern of growth and evolution and represents the life force energy. Reflected in the natural world, the Spiral is found in human physiology, plants, minerals, animals, energy patterns, weather, growth and death. It is a sacred symbol that reminds us of our evolving journey in life.
In Azul, the Spiral is the representation of our journey of self-discovery and provides a map that guides us through our own evolutionary journey. The Spiral offers an in-depth exploration of the various components and points of entry into the natural flow of life that we experience as love, self-expression and fulfilling of our life purpose.
From the core of the Azul organization, Amara and Paolo and the Azul Team that coordinates the programs, through the movement practice and the teacher trainings, these values are the foundation upon which Azul is built.
As we incorporate these values into our lives through continued practice, great healing, growth and transformation result.
It is also a useful tool for movement teachers who wish to expand their horizons , for therapists who wish to incorporate movement in their practice, for community and business leaders who desire to create more harmonious and collaborative social and work environments. Ultimately, the path of Azul is an open invitation for all those who wish to engage in a journey of self-realization.
