Authentic Movement: Embodied Witnessing of Transpersonal Experience, Ellen Emmet 2005 -- sharing transcendental immanent soul body expression -- a natural breakthrough in our world: Jerry Katz: Rich Murray 2013.05.22



This is a wonderful and deeply authentic expansion of conscious sharing of transcendental experience -- which started for me and Gail Murray in early 1965 in Boston with the Diane and Al Pesso method of Psychomotor Therapy.


I evolved similar, milder approaches by 1993 in Lively Communion, mutual meditative exploration -- sharing while gazing into one another in a mirror.

Interview with Ellen Emmet


Ellen writes on her website http://ellenemmet.com ,

"I live in Oxford, U.K. alongside my husband Rupert Spira, whose pure and luminous teaching never ceases to deepen my understanding.

I continue my practice as a Psychotherapist, and Authentic Movement facilitator allowing my background of Dance-Movement Therapy, and Transpersonal Psychology to be permeated by and to express the non-dual understanding.

I also offer Non-dual Yoga sessions in the tradition of Kashmir Shivaism exploring our true nature at the level of the body."

Here is an article Ellen Emmet wrote on Authentic Movement. It may also be downloaded as a .doc file here:

 

I like how Ellen moves a step beyond when she brings in the teaching of Francis Lucille, thus creating the bridge between the nonduality that one can do and experience as the unitive state, and the nonduality in which there is no doer, no state.
