The somatic connection between mind and body well-being based on the anthroposophical medical model of a human being is outlined from the perspectives of Steiner (1994) and Pierrakos (1987), arguing that the body becomes a map of mind experiences as they are inextricably linked. The expressive artistic therapies, particularly gesture, sound, and colour, are presented as the mediators of mind-body experience because they provide languages to communicate this experience. These artistic therapies are also seen as providing the means to reconnect body-mind experience in therapy in a way that can provide for interventions that transform difficult mind-body energetic patterns into patterns that create mental and physical well-being. This is illustrated with detailed interventions for transforming grief and loss and working with shock and betrayal. |
