Contemplative movement can include a number of practices such as yoga, dance, tai chi, tsa lung trul khor and yantra yoga. In their own unique ways, these practices integrate self-awareness, rhythm, sound, movement, conscious breath, disciplined form, or free flowing choreography. Pulled into a harmony, or potent melody, the effects may include release of tensions and blockages in body and mind.

This Science & Spirituality panel discussion delves into the inner workings of contemplative dance and somatic healing practices. Adriana is intimately prepared to communicate her understanding of body as mandala. Peter’s life studies, practice, and research suggest that the sciences also are discovering the bridges between higher mind and body.

It’s human nature that we continually struggle to become — to become healthier, wealthier, more knowledgeable, more attractive, or better at what we do, feel, or think. But lasting happiness and joy arise not from becoming, but from our ability to be: to be completely present with whatever experiences life brings. In a live online broadcast, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche guides a meditation to help us connect with the power of being.
