This study was a heuristic self-inquiry of the impact of dance movement therapy (DMT) sessions to process somatic and kinesthetic imagery experienced in Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) sessions. Full transcripts were taken for both DMT and GIM sessions to look for themes and intersections of how dance movement processing may have impacted or influenced the therapeutic integration of GIM sessions. There were four primary themes that emerged for how dance movement processing sessions impacted the researcher’s understanding of GIM sessions. These were reimaging with movement, moving for release of emotion, embodying transpersonal experiences, and movement as aesthetic response. Intentional re-imaging with movement allowed for a continuation of the process begun in GIM sessions, which created opportunities for emotional release and integration of self. Movement was a way of generating artistic response that helped further the researcher’s imaginal world of GIM Personal reflections and implications for practice are given.

移动的力量：在引导图像和音乐中对舞蹈动作处理的启发式自我探究

这项研究是一项启发式自我探究，探讨舞蹈运动治疗 (DMT) 课程对处理引导意象和音乐 (GIM) 课程中经历的躯体和动觉意象的影响。我们对 DMT 和 GIM 课程进行了完整的记录，以寻找舞蹈动作处理如何影响或影响 GIM 课程的治疗整合的主题和交叉点。关于舞蹈动作处理课程如何影响研究人员对 GIM 课程的理解，出现了四个主要主题。这些是通过运动重新想象、通过运动来释放情感、体现超个人体验以及作为审美反应的运动。通过运动有意识地重新想象可以继续 GIM 会议中开始的过程，这为情感释放和自我整合创造了机会。运动是产生艺术反应的一种方式，有助于进一步拓展研究人员的 GIM 想象世界。给出了个人反思和对实践的启示。
