Mental health and spiritual growth

For some time I’m thinking about how people can express feelings, share with others and establish links with them in a better way.   The occidental paradigm talks about how rationality is the best recipe for all our questioning but, in my own experience, that advice made me take bad decisions when I used the rationality and ignore my feelings. Maybe, Now I don’t know what spiritual development is or how it works and I know this speech has been co-opted for capitalist discourse too (like many other things), but I don’t think that this fact can destroy the importance of growing up and feeling great. I think that it is important to discover how to do real relationships in a so individualist world, and do that with organization and rebellion that can be a revolution, not the only one, of course. I don´t want to sound hippie, but these ideas should be important especially when we live in a country with so many problems about mental health, bullying, anxiety, anguish, are examples ...

But over time I’m considering many other options, and there is an option that it’s so different than be an intellectual and, in the last time it has been so attractive for me: dance teacher. This interest appears when I realize the effect that melodies have on my own body and how this help me for feeling better when I haven’t had a good day or time. Like others pedagogies I need to be patient, nice and be attentive to the need of my students. The best reward about this job is that I could be a bridge between people and their bodies and learn to others how express their emotions with their in a better way. One of the complications about this job is that I haven´t danced for too long. The most of people who do this, usually dance since they were very young and that is not my case. But it’s ok, because I think that...
