I've been thinking about how I will fulfill my mission statement , and one of the words that came to me was "HEAL". So I googled it, and found Dance / Movement Therapy. As defined by the American Dance Therapy Association, "Dance/Movement Therapy is the the psychotherapeutic use of movement as a process which furthers the emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration of the individual." It's based on the belief that the mind and body are inter-connected and thus by healing the body, the mind gets healed as well, which I feel is very similar to exercise forms like Yoga and QiGong. Dance/Movement Therapy was even used as a group treatment method for psychiatric patients during the World War II.
Dance/Movement Therapy is not common in Singapore, except in charity organizations eg. Very Special Arts Singapore Ltd. I feel that it has potential as a wellness institute available to the public as well. Does anyone have more information on this field? Pls let me know ya? =)
