Book excerpt: A guidebook for creating your own somatic movement practice, Heal Through Dance distills the essence of Arielle Star Triana’s teachings for a worldwide audience. Designed for instructors, dancers and beginners interested in freeform movement, Heal through Dance celebrates physical embodiment within the context of the sacred feminine. Star as she is known to her students masterfully weaves together exercises known to heal trauma with ancient cultural practices ranging from Indian, Egyptian, and Hawaiian to Native American, Essene and Celtic. Heal through Dance is an invitation to become your own healer and an ecstatic dance facilitator. Let your dance become an embodied prayer through the layers of Earth, water, fire, love, SOUND, and light. Quotes from readers: “A work of beauty sourced from the stars.” “The playlists for trance dance, tribal dance, and infinity dance are exquisite.” “The alchemy you create in this work is that of a true healer.”
