In the dancing is the stillness: An inquiry into the nature and meaning of spiritual experiences that occur during movement therapy. - 305 p.

Chair: Don Hanlon Johnson.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--California Institute of Integral Studies, 2002.

This dissertation explores the nature and meaning of spiritual experiences that occur during movement therapy, and the struggle to find language to articulate experiences often described as ineffable. The inquiry is grounded in personal narratives, beginning with my own experiences of spirituality through the body in organic movement. I drew on the practice of Authentic Movement witnessing to create a framework for my engagement with the participants, both in listening to their stories, and in writing responses to their material.

520 $a This dissertation explores the nature and meaning of spiritual experiences that occur during movement therapy, and the struggle to find language to articulate experiences often described as ineffable. The inquiry is grounded in personal narratives, beginning with my own experiences of spirituality through the body in organic movement. I drew on the practice of Authentic Movement witnessing to create a framework for my engagement with the participants, both in listening to their stories, and in writing responses to their material.
520 $a I interviewed six participants who had what they described as a spiritual experience during one of three movement therapy processes, all of which grew out of Jungian Psychology. These processes invite the mover to follow an inner impulse, moving in a completely unplanned and spontaneous manner. The movement therapy processes are: Authentic Movement as developed by Mary Whitehouse, Joan Chodorow, Janet Adler and others; Process-Oriented Movement, developed by Arnold and Amy Mindell; and Marion Woodman's image in the body process. Participants were invited to recount their spiritual life history, and then describe the movement experience in detail. In a follow-up interview, participants spoke about how they felt reading the transcript of the initial interview, and how the movement experience and its perceived meaning had been integrated into their lives.
520 $a I found that organic movement has a capacity to contain and in brief moments, to resolve, many of the tensions felt in life and in the exploration of personal issues. Participants called this momentary dissolving of duality a spiritual experience. Expressed through the individual's body in motion, it is perceived as being guided both from within the self and from an outside source. The experience often felt revelatory, as if it had settled in the body and mind in a new and profound way. Insights similar to those that have been described throughout mystical literature emerged from the movement experiences. The process of having their spiritual lives and experiences honoured and witnessed in a reverent and respectful manner, was deeply affirming and transformative for the participants. Participants also struggled with the challenge of integrating transformative experiences into every day life.
