“…What is more, when the brain is stimulated and there is an emotional reaction, the brain stores that information better and with much longer retention times (Sousa, 2006). There has been a lot of talk lately about the mutual interaction between physical and mental development (Serlin, 1997). Embodiment is a central aspect of neuroscience, confirming that brain activity depends on repeated kinaesthetic and proprioceptive activities, which enables subjective experience and a sense of self (Gibbs, 2010).…”

The creative movement method is a holistic teaching method that enables children to develop language skills through art not just by looking and seeing, hearing and listening, speaking and talking, but also by conducting various motions and movements – experiencing while playing. Children can learn holistically only when their minds and bodies are an indivisible whole. When all their senses are engaged, children remember and recall information more effectively. The present paper describes the use of the creative movement method in teaching phonological awareness skills in a foreign language (English) to 13 Slovenian preschool children with a mean age of 5.8 years. The aim of the study was to determine children’s success rates in producing words and alliteration after being given the first sound of word (vowels /æ/, /e/, /ɪ/, /ɒ/, /ʌ/) in English, both with and without movement support. Children participated in two 45-minute long teaching sessions (the second took place after two weeks). There was no additional training between each session and the test. The results of the test after two weeks from the last session show that creative movement support proved essential for children in recalling words and producing alliteration in English. The study also includes some guidelines for the method’s use in teaching foreign languages to very young language learners.

“…The roots of dance therapy as practiced in the West have ancient underpinnings (Serlin, 1993). Modern dance therapists practice with the understanding that healing approaches are enriched with echoes of ancient images and practices (Serlin, 1993). Earliest religious or spiritual experiences were physical, where the deity was felt to enter and transform the person (Serlin, 1993).…”

“…Modern dance therapists practice with the understanding that healing approaches are enriched with echoes of ancient images and practices (Serlin, 1993). Earliest religious or spiritual experiences were physical, where the deity was felt to enter and transform the person (Serlin, 1993). In his book on dances, the early Greek writer Lucien noted how all mystery inductions were associated with dance, and that Orpheus prescribed those being introduced to the mysteries to be received by dancing (Serlin,p.…”

Long-term recovery programs for the survivors of typhoon Haiyan-as it struck the Philippines in 2013-were inevitably characterized by a convergence of Eastern and Western approaches to health and wellness due to the sectors involved in the process. Local community volunteers and local/international non-profit organizations joined forces to offer socio-emotional support to over 100 families of Tagbanua heritage on three islands in the area of Culion, Palawan, Philippines. This paper presents the blending of Eastern and Western perspectives on post-traumatic symptoms, on well-being and on the human condition. The combined spirit of compassion and bayanihan (a Filipino term for togetherness in common effort) shared by the relief workers and the Tagbanua is also described. Narratives about the unexpected discovery of inherent indigenous ways of coping through dance-and a therapeutic encounter that involved a dialogue between Tagbanua and Western classical music-are highlighted as examples of the interweaving of artbased healing practices from the East and West which contributed towards recovery and the restoration of health.

“…As noted by Ehrenreich (2006), Western psychology is ill prepared to incorporate ecstatic or dance rituals into healing. Although some initial research tries to delineate healthy and pathological trance and cultural altered consciousness (Cardeña et al, 2009;Negro, Palladino-Negro, & Rodrigues Louzã, 2002;Ng & Chan, 2004;Van Duijl et al, 2010), there is still little exploration of its application to DMT (Baum, 1993;Serlin, 1993). 19 Improvisation can be a medium to expand the alter's repertoire through free movement, master the past through the uncovering of preconscious and unconscious material, or generate new meaning through the creative force of associationism.…”
