Movement and dance: Creativity and embodied mindfulness chapter from Teaching Mindfulness Skills to Kids and Teens

Abstract

Embodying the feeling tone of the child's energy is a core aspect of the dance/movement psychotherapy approach that is the focus of this chapter. As you read this chapter, you too can get a sense of this experiential way of working by noticing your own thoughts, feelings, and body sensations as you read the vignettes.
