Dance as My Guiding Light: How I Found Presence and Purpose

Writer: Chelsea GayChelsea Gay

In my healing journey, one truth has become crystal clear: the most important moment is the one we’re in right now. The past is over, and the future has yet to unfold. But what we have, in every breath and heartbeat, is the present moment.


This realization led me to ask myself: How can I be the most present, right here, right now, and fill each moment with what I love the most?


That simple question opened the door to one of the most profound discoveries of my life. I asked myself: What do I love to do more than anything? The answer came instantly and unequivocally: Dance.


For me, dance is where I feel most connected to myself, to spirit, and to the world around me. When I dance, I’m not trapped in my thoughts or distracted by the noise of life. I’m fully embodied, feeling every micro-sensation, every movement, and every beat of my heart. Dance allows me to express the deepest parts of my being—my emotions, my essence, my truth.


Through the highs and lows of life, dance has been my constant companion. It’s carried me through some of the toughest moments, helping me process pain, loss, and confusion. And it has elevated me to the most ecstatic moments of bliss and pleasure. Dance brings me joy, connection, and release.


Most of the people I hold dear today, I met on a dance floor. Dance has given me community and some of my closest friends. What started as a personal practice has evolved into a passion I now share with the world. I’m so grateful for the opportunities it has brought me and the incredible connections it continues to create.


Whenever I find myself feeling uncertain or unsure of what’s next, I ask myself: Is dance an option? If it is, I go there. And if none of the paths in front of me include dance, I ask: How can I add dance into this moment?


This simple practice has opened doors to amazing opportunities, unforgettable experiences, and incredible relationships. It feels like when I dance, everything falls into alignment, and life flows with ease.


So, I invite you to ask yourself: What’s your guiding light? What do you love to do the most?


And if you don’t know yet, that’s okay. Just asking the question is enough. Stay open, and soon, your passion will reveal itself. Let it guide you, and you’ll be amazed at where it takes you.


Sparkle and purrs,
