The Serpent and the Wave: A Guide to Movement Meditation

As long as humanity can remember, we have recognized the power of dance and movement. Many cultures still consider dance a sacred art and a vital part of ritual, worship, and other spiritual practices. Until recently, Westerners who have sought to tap the power and wisdom of their bodies have done so through Eastern disciplines such as yoga, Tai Chi, and Sufi dancing.
In The Serpent and the Wave, Jalaja provides a modern, Western perspective on movement meditation, healing, mind/body integration, and personal power. Filled with simple, clearly-illustrated exercises and meditations, this unique source book has real-life tools that anyone may use.

Jalaja Bonheim, a performing dancer and movement therapist by profession, has studied Eastern philosophy and classical indian temple dance for over a decade. A pioneer in the practice of using body awareness and movement to bring about personal transformation, she has taught a variety of movement meditation classes all over the world.
