Experiment. Explore. Awaken your potential for wellness through meditative movement.

"This ... is an invitation and a portal into the practice of dance and movement as meditation. All bodies are welcome and all abilities. Anyone can dance, although many of us hold back because we don''t look like dancers or because we have physical limitations. But I am willing to bet that most of you holding this book have touched a moment of transcendence or freedom in an experience of dance that leads you to explore deeper. You have a worthy guide in your hands."
—from the Foreword

Using theory and step-by-step exercises, dancer and clinical counselor Dr. Jamie Marich expertly guides you through seven primary elements of mindfulness in motion: breath, sound, body, story, mind, spirit and fusion. By dancing through these seven elements, either in personal practice or in a group, you will be better able to:

Access your body's own healing resources through informal dance
Realize the transformative power of your personal creativity
Strengthen your abilities to exercise non-judgment, patience, a sense of play, trust, acceptance and letting go
Practice mindfulness even if you have struggled with traditional sitting meditation
Share healing dances with others to build on your own strengths, resources and experiences

Critique: Expertly written, organized and designed, Dancing Mindfulness is as informed and informative as it is 'user friendly' in both tone and presentation. Dancing Mindfulness is an especially recommended 'how to' instruction guide for personal, community and academic library Self-Help/Self-Improvement reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists.
