Abstract
Transpersonal experience, or being our own self to unite with the authentic non-local consciousness (Being Authentic), and peak experiences etc. often take place with awareness through the body. The objectives of the workshop are to relax, to soften the body and mind, and to focus on our true selves and our transpersonal selves, or in other words, our souls. I will use breathing techniques, image tasks and movements from psychosynthesis, focusing, transcendent meditation, Yoga, Expressive art therapy etc. I hope the participants will be able to experience the feeling of oneness in love and light. Uniting with light in the spiritual field will be possible by embracing one's shadow not by rejecting or neglecting it. First, each participant will try to recognize his/her own shadow and express it, supported by the other participants. Next, participants will focus on light, truth, beauty, love and joy within and everywhere with the help of aromas, music, and flowers. In order to prevent a spiritual emergency, I will give a short lecture about healthy spirituality before any movement. After the experience participants will have time for sharing and debriefing. Participants should wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing for the workshop. To measure the effect of the dance movements, I will administer the 2-dimensional mood scale (TDMS) which has 2 axes, awareness and pleasures. The data will be collected anonymously, statistically analyzed, and presented at the next ISLIS symposium.
