Joyful Embodiment: Healing Through Body Play

Play is an essential part of our lives and can be more effective than serious, tough work.

Body Play allows us to tap into our body’s wisdom, unleash our creativity, and embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery. Through spontaneous and self-directed movements, we can release tension, process emotions, and connect with our authentic selves.

Body Play as therapy helps us reconnect with our bodies, benefiting those who have experienced trauma or emotional blockages. By engaging in playful and expressive movements, we can access self-awareness and inner resources. Movement becomes a catalyst for transformation and healing.

I wasn’t even aware that I was connected to my body until I became ill or experienced physical discomfort. From that perspective, my body was simply a problem. Whenever this issue arose, I wanted to resolve it as swiftly as possible and return to my ideal mental world without any physical disruptions. This approach usually worked, allowing me to live for years without much contact with my physical self—my body.
