Articles coming in the near future
Dance. In this article I will be discussing various types of dance and how they lead to
greater mind-body integration. The paper will discuss how dance transformed 150
years ago, and the major players from Irmgard Bartineiff, to Laban, to Mary
Whitehouse and others. The type of dance I will be discuss has its roots in African
transcendence and the cathartic experience of Greek theater.

Tai Chi. Discussion of this ancient art and a method for mind-body integration.

Aikido. This article will cover the martial art of Aikido, which is a practice of balance
and movement, where the basis of the art is to blend with your opponent. I have
learned from the highest ranked westerner in the world and he was a student of the
founder. Ultimately, this will become a collection of several articles.

Yoga. Yoga is a several thousand year old tradition and is so much more than an
exercise program as it is treated by so many people. I will discuss some history and
how to approach this art for a deeper self-understanding.
