The popularity of yoga and Zen meditation has heightened awareness of somatic practices. Individuals develop the conscious embodiment central to somatics work via movement and dance, or through touch from a skilled teacher or therapist often called a somatic bodyworker. Methods of touch and movement foster generative processes of consciousness in order to create a fluid interconnection between sensation, thought, movement, and expression. This book probes ideas surrounding embodied knowledge and the conscious embodiment of movement and dance. Using a variety of perspectives on movement and dance somatics, the book draws on both scholarship and personal practice to participate in a multifaceted investigation of a thriving worldwide phenomenon. The goal: to present the mental and physical health benefits of experiencing one’s inner world through sensory awareness and movement integration.
