This is a beautiful and powerful conversation with fellow dance/movement therapist Melanie Smithson about the deep healing that occurs when we go beyond the mind and tap into the wisdom of the body. We talk about moving with the energy in the body, dis-identifying from thoughts, and the liberation that comes when you integrate creative movement into your daily life. Melanie is an award-winning author of Stress Free in 30 Seconds and has just released her new book Shake Yourself Free, which provides accessible ways to start connecting to your body to move with emotions.
