MBR Sept 2021 Newsletter
                                        Monthly Newsletter

September 2021
I just received an email from someone who wrote the salutation:
In light and health and grace,
Breathing in and out.
I appreciate how these words awaken softening, space inside my body, and more ease.
 
A couple hours ago, aware of the pending deadline for this newsletter, I sat down to write but I had no ideas.  The distress of all the world events weighing upon me.  Darting, distracted attention.  What can I say that hasn’t already been reported on, investigated, invested in, blown apart, argued about, insisted upon, pleaded for, remedied, flooded, burned, rescued, bought, sold; or made into an art project, political movement, and spiritual practice?
 
In light and health and grace,
The middle of my back aches.
My head shakes, belly quivers, skin shivers……….
 
Reaching for a topic I look up the word hope.  I find the definitions hopeless. The primary meaning of hope must include the object of one’s hopes. Objects annoy me—concrete and conceptual.  Is it possible to hope without an object as one’s reason for hoping? 
 
Definitions of hope from a spiritual orientation include metaphors of light—rays of hope—and focus on the future of what could be.
 
Pausing….. tension-filled wrists hover above the keyboard… waiting…..breathing……finally wrists, lower arms, elbows, drop slowly with quiet inhaling….exhaling. 
 
I refuse to hope for any return to an objectified memory of the past.  I find grabbing for a vision of the future effortful.
 
In light and health and grace………….  Mind empties………………
A question arises:  What happens if I am just hoping?  Hoping now?
 
Taking the past and future out of hoping, I feel my eyes drop back in my head, softening, widening….moistening.
 
Breathing deepens, filling me more completely,
legs settle, lengthening. 
Right now…………….
I am here, listening, wondering, hoping with
Light and health and grace.
 
We are nearing the end of summer, and August has been the most active month for MBR in 17 months.  I am curious what MBR teachers and practitioners will be moving with this fall as they continue to offer classes, workshops, and healing sessions—in and out of the space.   SAVE the SPACE MBR continues through the end of 2021.  Open and ready to receive, I will send news of upcoming events in a separate email.
 
With light as you dance through darkness,
With health as you move through our world,
And grace to empower your hopes & dreams,
 
Mary Abrams
& Moving Body Resources
 
Special thanks to Dawn, for the inspiring salutation.

Offering Individual Dance/Movement Psychotherapy Sessions
 
The roots of dance as a healing practice are found deep within many cultures and have been throughout time. Dance/movement therapy, a relatively new healing practice is based on the idea that the mind, body and spirit are connected and uses movement to help integrate our social, emotional, cerebral, and physical selves to improve one’s mental health for ultimate well-being and living to one’s greatest potential. Learn more at www.ADTA.org
 
Through one-on-one sessions and tailored to your needs, dance/movement therapy guides you through an exploration of movement and verbal processing for a deeper awareness of your life journey and experiences unique to you according to your own rhythm and pacing.
