I had purchased this book many years ago and was on here checking to see if it was still in print. I have a hard time believing that the one reviewer on here actually read it. This book shows how to experience our spirit by moving from our physical (and hence emotional and spiritual) center. The Chinese call it the Dan Tien while the Japanese call it the Hara. I find nothing New Agey about this title. It is chock full of ancient quotes and movement routines. I am unaware of a book on this subject that so fully compiles this type of info, has a solid, practical tone, and is mystical at the same time. This is a workbook as well as the best movement meditation book I have ever read. Did I mention that it is fun, too?

The author has really compiled a wonderful collection of suggestions for movement meditations that have really helped me understand that meditation can be an "in body" experience. I found myself really appreciating my own body and the deep connection to spirit that these experiences lend

Interesting book with an eastern philosophical feel. There are moments in this book that make me think, "hey, I'd like to hang out with this author." Other times, she seems at odds with herself when she fuses taoism with humanism. Personally, I don't like to humanize plants and animals. It's nice to know we share this planet with something other than ourselves. Otherwise, this book is very good, with excellent exercises if you're looking for more emotional release in your dancing.

A reference book for highschool .Overpriced at $41. original price $14. Please check the price before buying it. Meditation in action.I see yoga postures with added footsteps, backed by chakras with psychological inputs. Nothing original. Same story all over.
