ABSTRACT

This article aims to examine dance and spirituality within the context of dance/movement therapy (DMT). The author bridges the theoretical basis of Bharata Natyam, a form of ancient south Indian classical dance, with DMT principles to create the theory of embodied transcendence. This theoretical framework uses concepts from Bharata Natyam about the relationship of the mind, body, emotions, and spirit and connects them to the DMT setting. This theory highlights that when guided by a therapist, a client can become witness to their experience, which can lead to transcendence and a fuller understanding of themselves and their circumstances. Further considerations exploring this model in the future and limitations are also included.

摘要

本文旨在研究舞蹈/运动疗法 (DMT) 背景下的舞蹈和灵性。作者将 Bharata Natyam（一种古老的南印度古典舞蹈形式）的理论基础与 DMT 原则联系起来，创造了体现超越的理论。这个理论框架使用来自 Bharata Natyam 的关于思想、身体、情感和精神关系的概念，并将它们与 DMT 设置联系起来。该理论强调，在治疗师的指导下，来访者可以见证他们的经历，这可以导致超越和更全面地了解自己和他们的环境。还包括未来探索此模型的进一步考虑和局限性。
