The Serpent and the Wave: A Guide to Movement Meditation

Bonheim, a dancer, psychotherapist, and movement therapist, presents movement meditation primarily from an Eastern perspective but with reference to many spiritual traditions. In addition to discussing the importance of the body in spiritual practice, she includes more than 30 movement meditations for stilling the mind, involving the body, awakening the serpent power ( kundalini ), developing consciousness, and meditating with a partner. The book outlines an entire spirituality, moving from remembrance to union while addressing a wide variety of topics from anger to shamanism.
