Date: 2021-10-23

Focusing on opening the heart to the world and embodying compassion in action, this is an experiential overview of the moving meditation practice created by Pulelehua Quirk Mindful BrainDance.
Mindful BrainDance combines BrainDance and the Welcoming Prayer practices to build and revitalize our neurological systems. Using BrainDance and guided imagery we sink into our bodies, awakening them for a more expansive experience of the world. Using the Welcoming Prayer, we embrace this moment as it is,  healing our life experiences by consenting to the presence and action of the indwelling spirit in our life.

Mindful BrainDance brings together the Welcoming Prayer and BrainDance adding a spiritual component to the mind/body emphasis of BrainDance. This is a unique practice created by Pulelehua in 2016 as a healing response to personal trauma. The combination of these practices helps return us to the original spinning cells of love from which we are all created.
