Maps to Ecstasy: The Healing Power of Movement | Gabrielle Roth
2 posts | 1 read | 1 reading
In this revised edition of Maps to Ecstasy, Gabrielle Roth expands on the themes that have guided her ways of transforming daily life into sacred art. Her work in teaching movement has been described as a marriage of art and healing. Each chapter initiates readers into one of the five sacred powers necessary for survival and reveals the five life cycles that lead to enlightenment. The creative process brings readers in touch with these five sacred powers by freeing the body to experience the power of being, expressing the heart to experience the power of loving, emptying the mind to experience the power of seeing, and embodying the spirit to experience the power of healing.

2/5⭐ The intention of the book is to encourage readers to cast off the numbness of societal pressures and embrace a joyous, ecstatic life, which is great. Some of the surface-level discussion is helpful to think about, but the author's emphasis on limited gender roles and very questionable psychology mean I can't recommend the book. #roll100

SamAnne I‘m not sure that white Euro-American people should be using the term Shaman to begin with. 2y
hissingpotatoes @SamAnne Yeah, I agree. There's a lot of outdated/appropriated stuff in this book, which is typical for many older works. It was written in 1989. 2y
