In Celebration of Global Wellness Day 2023 with #DanceMagenta
Bangkok, Thailand – Our body is anatomically designed to move. Bones, muscles and joints always work well in motion. Being physically active reduces the risks of various kinds of non-communicable diseases, including heart diseases, diabetes and cancer, which are chronic and can burden one with physical, mental and financial troubles. Dancing as a movement therapy should be included in one’s healthy ritual to reduce physical stress, improve the range of motion, and promote overall well-being and especially longevity, which everyone longs for.
Dancing is Therapeutically Beneficial
Mentally speaking, dance has long served as a method to release strong, creative and intense feelings in many traditions. In addition to physical benefits, it has become clear that mental and emotional advantages from dancing are derived from the release of natural hormones of happiness, including dopamine, oxytocin and endorphins, which can uplift one’s mood and keep all forms of stress at bay. Dancing can be also paired with meditation exercise to increase mindfulness and strengthen social interaction to cherish inner peace and nurture harmony.
It is undeniable that dancing is therapeutically beneficial to anyone who suffers from physical, mental and emotional stress and enhances social well-being at the same time. Dancing as a movement therapy at RAKxa is personalised to suit anyone’s lifestyle and meet anyone’s unmet needs. During the month of, let’s dance to allow our body to flow and our mind to glow.
Tips to live daily life with dance to release your physical, mental and emotional stress:
- Set your intention, placing your palms on your heart chakra and allowing yourself to move with the flow.
- Tune in to your favourite songs, gently shake your body and then dance freely.
- Move until your feel fresh, rewarding and relaxed.
- Don’t forget to properly cool down by stretching or practising yoga
RAKxa Integrative Approach
Before you go with the flow, it is necessary to prepare every inch of your muscles and joints for the move and allow your mind to be in harmonious alignment with your body. Yoga, which is an ancient practice to not only promote physical strength and flexibility, but also encourage mental stability through breathing, seems to fit in with your pre-dancing ritual and reduce the risk of injury.
While dancing, your heart beats faster than normal and your cells are eager to utilise much more energy and oxygen. Nestling yourself in Hyperbaric Chamber, in which filtered oxygen is supplied at high air pressure, is advantageous to perk up your body before dancing and replenish your cells after an exhausting session. Oxygen molecules are crucial for every single cell because they play a vital role in the generation of cellular energy, helping you feel fresh and relaxed.
To properly cool down your body engine after dancing, Head to Toe Stretch, which is a one-on-one session provided by medical gym staff, is recommended. This passive stretch helps you gently loosen up your physical tension, reduce lactic acid build-up, and improve your range of motion and flexibility.
Getting physically active is at your fingertips. The integrative approach, which seamlessly combines dancing as a form of aerobic exercise with the innovative therapy of anti-ageing medicine along with customised nutritious meals, will undoubtedly help you achieve the ultimate goal in your wellness journey in the long run.
June Wellness Activity: Chakra Dance
It is universally acknowledged that everything is energy. Chakras, which literally mean ‘wheels’ in Sanskrit, are simply known as the energy points aligned along the body, from the root to the crown. Dancing is an effective way to allow the vital energy to smoothly flow through the line of chakras, helping your organs perform their functions properly and your body restore its balance.
During the month of June, Khun Sakda, the Fitness Educator of RAKxa, will gear up for Chakra Dance to fill your life with a rewarding experience, fuel up your body with energy and allow your chakras to be in perfect alignment again. No proficiency in dancing is required.
