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. In Moving Consciously ; Sondra Fraleigh gathers essays that probe ideas surrounding embodied knowledge and the conscious embodiment of movement and dance. Using a variety of perspectives on movement and dance somatics; Fraleigh and other contributors draw on scholarship and personal practice to participate in a multifaceted investigation of a thriving worldwide phenomenon. Their goal: to present the mental and physical health benefits of experiencing ones inner world through sensory awareness and movement integration. A stimulating addition to a burgeoning field; Moving Consciously incorporates concepts from East and West into a timely look at life-changing; intertwined practices that involve dance; movement; performance studies; and education. Contributors: Richard Biehl; Robert Bingham; Hillel Braude; Alison East; Sondra Fraleigh; Kelly Ferris Lester; Karin Rugman; Catherine Schaeffer; Jeanne Schul; and Ruth Way.
