Book Reviews of Maps to Ecstasy: The Healing Power of Movement
Book Review: A Keeper for the Dancer in You
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book as a gift from my roommate about five years ago. After many moves around the world where I gave away many of my things, this book still managed to be among the remaining possessions. I refer to it periodically when I feel in need of a lift and when I want a reminder of the power of sinking into a the rythm of a dance when the world seems bleak and dark. I also recommend Gabriella's CD to understand what she means by each rythm. My favorite is BONES which provides clear examples of each rythm and fantastic music that will dig into your bones.
I had limited exposure to Gabrielle Roth's 5 Rythms prior to reading the book, but her messages still came through clearly. I love how she shares her own private story as a seeker and how she manages to find a path that works for her. When I saw her dance in NYC once, I understood what is meant by the art of melting into a dance and I was glad that through the unconventional life path that she took, she was able to find path to truth that apparently envelops her when she dances. An inspiration to those who follow the path less traveled.
I recommend this book and an exploration into the concept of the 5 Rythms of Life for those interested in adding magic, color, and healing to their dance.
