A lesson in therapeutic dance movement

[@skylarraustin91]

As someone who has been so disconnected from their body and often mentally struggles to allow myself to feel it, this was the most profound experience for me and felt like it was the most needed next step in my ongoing search for healing childhood trauma. Thank you for making this accessible.

[@ashnagupta438]

This helped me to get in touch with my body, when you said to thank my body, it brought tears to my eyes. Thankyou for putting out the video!

Живучи у добрій - раніше веселій Україні - зараз ми нестерпно страждаємо кожен день від кровожерливої російської військової агресії, яка руйнує вщент наше щастя та життя. Вдячність від усього серця ♥ Дякуємо, що зробили це відео доступним для всіх!

[@Muckly77]

Wow. Wow. wow. Thank you for this truly enlightened experience! ♥

[@JediBunny]

This is beautiful and healing. To anyone reading the comments now but not following along - do yourself a big favour and follow along with her! It will bring you more deeply in touch with yourself; it’s worth it 💙

[@pibblepablo]

Incredibly powerful medicine. I am a creative, so music, dance, art, and spirituality often times "reach" me more easily than hard facts and information about psychology do. I followed along with this and became emotional and cried during the release of negative beliefs. It is 10 am and I completely did not expect to be touched so deeply by this practice! I feel free! I am ready to continue my day with love and joy in my heart. Funnily enough, I actually looked this up to research a topic for my final in my counseling and personal growth course. The rest of my day will be spent dancing at a street festival with good vibes, people and art. - Thank you and much love!

[@tanyalucia9106]

Thank you so much for sharing this practice Ekin. I regularly move my body via dance as a way to connect and release my emotions but have found that I have become stagnant. I did not even move my body to this video yet, I just watched, and I still received such an emotional release. I appreciate your generosity in posting this.

[@SB-oq4lh]

These movements allowed me to release a lot of emotion and fear that's been frozen inside. Thank you 🙏

[@aparajita1in]

How strangely beautiful is this. Don't know why the tears don't stop while I watch her

[@aconomyservice714]

Thank you for being part of the New Earth . Much love and appreciation. Thank you for your healing vibes!

[@elizabethv5160]

I’ve been feeling so disconnected from my body due to anxiety and stress. Something told me to look up “therapeutic dancing” and I found this video. Life changing. Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait to do this video again and find others to help me connect my mind and body.

[@sgsgulf147]

[@EternalDancers]

Profound WHOLE being healing comes from combining movement with visualization while allowing yourself to feel safe as you let your emotions and feelings flow on a transformational journey. This is a BEAUTIFUL lesson and follow along opportunity to have a deeply impactful and life changing experience. Thank you Ekin Bernay for being so raw and authentic in your own 'unwinding' and clear as a the guide and demonstrator. We ALL have the opportunity everyday to unleash our inner "eternal" being that knows balance, love, health, and happiness and utilizing movement & dance to do so, in my opinion, is most helpful & perfect!

[@Lucy2086]

I so needed this....I knew in the first 2 min when your video popped up....thank you❤ Grateful...I am going to dance this🌹

[@carolmandiann]

Oh, wow; this was so intense for me, and there was no reasoning involved. I don't even know what negative words I was trying to crush and dust away, but I went through a heavy-duty release. And then the positive things; I don't think I had any positive words in particular in mind, but it felt oh, so good, all felt in the body, no reasoning or going over thoughts or processing whatever it was.

[@siryoucantdothat9743]

This is so beautiful, one of the most beautiful things i ever seen, the movements are so soft and gentle its very much designed to be authentic and vulnerable

[@valentinarivoli3925]

Dance therapy has always been something I’ve wanted to study to incorporate it into my dance videos

[@unlockingfortitude2914]

What a cathartic way to learn connecting with one's whole self. Grounding and releasing the trauma. Its a culmination of methods processing mind, body and soul. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@Thispersonhere82]

I appreciate the rawness that you put into this video. Thank you. Namaste.

[@tracylarsen8628]

That was amazing and made me cry... Powerful. I shared this with my girls and encouraged then to try this dance. Both of my girls were is various forms of dance growing up and I think they will love it. This is a ministry you have. Thank you

[@Lucy2086]

Wow I was going to look for something just to listen to as I soak in the tub and this video popped up.... You have no idea how much I needed this video today! And so tomorrow I'm going to make this my routine... In the beginning of it when she says 'when's the last time you jumped?'.... today I did some chakra dance and I jumped up and down and thought to myself wow it feels good to jump...weird

[@kaylaryder8371]

I really dig this............lots of range,creation ratio, organic movement

[@robinevejonah7142]

This is so beautiful and pure. You are guiding so beautifully through that. Thank you for sharing!

[@djassidacostajohnson5547]

I love this. You have such a beautiful energy and approach to sharing therapy and movement together. I am a dancer/choreographer and doula and use some similar techniques in my womb healing work with women who are not dancers but need to heal and connect with their creative center (whether they've given physical birth or not). I created a dance therapy class for women at Riker's and saw first hand the immediate effects of movement -- as therapy -- unfortunately as soon as the program was implemented, the pandemic hit and it was halted. I will share your video with the director as I pray they are continuing to recognize the need for this -- within and outside of jail walls. I found your video while looking to expand my History of Dance curriculum as I share ecstatic dance and speak about dance therapy with my theory students. Thank You so much for sharing your beautiful modality. Looking forward to seeing/ sharing more of your work!

[@jasminsdharma851]

Wow, your work sounds super interesting and inspiring! Is there anywhere we can see or read about it?

[@gonzalollache7306]

something in your look is very deep and real, very beautiful. thanks for encouraging you to share it

[@SheilaLeighGwapa]

This is really an amazing & wonderful experience 🌹 I did this kind of therapeutic dances in a group where our Trainor was the one who spoke to us how to feel, what to do etc. We can feel the body, spirit & soul are in Union 🙏 a magic that starts from within 💖 Thank you beautiful SOUL 💃 for sharing this with us 🌹

[@dungnguyenofficial9981]

it is so beautiful however the ads disturbed me and turned me to write this comment. but it is so good. hopefully the ads can be watched in the beginning of this content

[@blusandia]

wonderful art movement that truly connects you with your soul.

[@carolgabasa564]

It's wonderful! Thank you very much ❤

[@heyokawanderer3185]

I get into a deep connected state with my body when I'm high. But when I'm sober I'm too tense and almost feel uncomfortable doing these kinds of movements like dancing.

[@how.disability.justice]

If it feels too intense, have you tried yet if there are movements that are more comfortable? I noticed that building relationships with people who enjoy movement and dance makes it easier to feel positively encouraged to try new things because that interest takes social forms as shared understanding develops.

[@Martina_E]

I really enjoyed this!

[@idhaaninsighttooneness9298]

Thank you for sharing , its very informative and powerful!

[@KudoZ-nd5so]

Wow this fantastic !!!♥️

[@beyondthisbody]

I have so many things to say that I have nothing to profess lol 😂 I can’t describe how blessed I feel by experiencing this. I’m just very grateful and I feel deeply connected to you. This was a multi-sensory experience and deeply healing to my spirit. All the highest love is what I wish for you ❤ God bless

[@carlota6405]

[@LeyahNehme]

Hey Ekin! Thank you for this session! what music did you use?

[@dmcundiff1978]

In the beginning of the exercise, you talk about physical attributes. Could you also do unseen attributes, like being stubborn or withdrawn, or you don't let anyone walk over you?

[@zeyneptennant7776]

Bu sabah Ayse Arman'in instegraminda gordum seni sevgili Ekin Bernay. Kisa bir arastirma sonrasi once kendime kizdim neden daha once ismini duymadigim icin ve V&A'taki performansini (Atlas) kacirdigim icin. Neyse hic birsey icin gec degil. Benim tam da boyle bir calismaya ihtiyacim var. Londra'da workshoplar duzenliyor musun henuz onu bulamadim. Sayet varsa katilmak isterim. Simdilik bu ders ile baslayacagim. Cok ilginc... Once seni kesfettim sonra hayran kadim. Arkasindan youtube'ta kendime bir dansla terapi bulayim dedim ve ilk bu videoyu sectim... ismini yazmadan... Videoyu izlemeye basladigimda bir de baktim SENsin :-) Cok memnun oldum. Sevgiyle kal. Yola devam!

[@1986Sanne]

I can’t do all The movements because of chronic pain. Is it ok if i do them a little smaller or different or is then The whole therapeutic idea of it away?

[@janiyab2415]

Can I ask a question? I did not understand what we do with positive and negative words we wrote? Thank you

[@SheilaLeighGwapa]

The negative and positive thoughts she wrote can be seen here! She asked herself to think the negative she thought and decided to crushed/rubbed them with her hands and turned into dust which she spread on the air because she doesn't need that negativity in her life. While the positive thoughts /energy she decided to go with the flow, enjoy and be HAPPY with her life for that is THE LIGHT! Where THE MAGIC begins 🙏

[@SheilaLeighGwapa]

@Janiya I hope you got what I mean! I did many times this kind of dance in a group that's why I understand not only the words but most of all the body language.

[@DhyanaaWithSaumya]

The ads really interrupt the flow. Even though the technique is beautiful
