Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of cancer cells that is now called a disease does not just grow overnight. Chemotherapy alone cannot cure the disease either - my mother believed these too. She once pacified a stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis and defied the odds as her disease went into remission. A strength based model, specifically the psychological process of family resilience became a guiding framework as I and my mother chose to take a positive stance in the midst of a threatening situation. In addition to recognizing family strengths and resources, this book also focuses on the significance of positive relationships within the community. The interplay of resilient characteristics is highlighted while at the same time recognizing actual and real challenges that come along with a cancer experience - the “silent struggles” toward social issues that all had an impact in my mother's disease. Yet, cancer can be a gateway to heal and to evolve one's consciousness in the process. It is a consciousness that is inherent to each but is usually dormant and unrecognized. This can allow both the person with cancer and other family members be positively transformed by the illness – an opportunity and gift of cancer. In this book, I do not speak as an expert but as an observer of my own life and my environment as I attempt to document my mother's cancer experience. The time I became her immediate caregiver during initial cancer treatments and until she was re-integrating into the community as a woman diagnosed with cancer. - Vera Icon “A blend of scholarly research, spirituality and personal experience shapes this memoir of growth and loss when coping with cancer...” “A poignant mother–daughter story that adds a personal touch to the science of suffering.” Kirkus Review, November 30, 2012

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noelle Rose Andressen shares an intimate journey how she put her life back together after conquering breast cancer in the most unpredictable way one could have fathomed. The weakest thing about her at the time, her body, became a vessel of love to share messages of HOPE and story-telling through her dynamic dancing. The physical obstacles were great including the protective walls around her heart from past hurts and "soul woundings." She overcame and learned to love again by reaching out to a beautiful stranger with her gift. She not only healed her body but learned to love again by loving another; which may be the greater success than the former. This is Volume One in the Dance Warrior Book Series: Cancer to Dancer. It is primarily based on her true life accounts overcoming extreme adversity and was not only was victorious, but she went on to dance again and do many other amazing things. There are lovely spiritual themes of joy and turning tragedy into triumph to inspire you to help you find encouragement and your purpose in this life beyond the suffering. "We've all been touched by some form of tragedy. You can rebuild and be inspired by my steps. I dance and share my scars so that you will know that you too can heal. Do not despair for all is not lost. Whatever it is you're facing, you too can overcome. My goal is to give HOPE to those who may find themselves in a similar situation and place of destitution where they ask themselves, "Okay, now what?!" or for those who have shards of their lives laying on the ground before them in a huge jumbled mess. Many today find themselves in the predicament of not knowing if they can regain all that was lost. Let my testimony encourage everyone: all that was lost can be regained. All can be reclaimed once again. Let me also add this: it may not be in the way you expected. I can attest that it will most likely be in the most unlikely way you could ever have imagined. I encourage you to take that grand journey and join me as I relive mine with you in these pages. Turn your tragedy into a triumph. With gratitude & HOPE, Noelle Rose Andressen" Please visit her website and social media to see beautiful dance photos of her and her company members, find out when the company is performing near you or visiting your area with outreaches, touring dates, book readings or public speaking engagements where Noelle Rose Andressen shares the message of light and love to inspire and encourage you: RubansRougesDance.com / Instagram rubans_rouges_dance / facebook.com/RubansRougesDance and facebook.com/NoelleAndressenDancer All works, expressions, videos, memes, posts are under copyright and are protected under copyright law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance and Creativity within Dance Movement Therapy discusses the core work and basic concepts in dance movement therapy (DMT), focusing on the centrality of dance, the creative process and their aesthetic-psychological implications in the practice of the profession for both patients and therapists. Based on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary inputs from fields such as philosophy, anthropology and dance, contributions examine the issues presented by cultural differences in DMT through the input of practitioners from several diverse countries. Chapters blend theory and case studies with personal, intimate reflections to support critical descriptions of DMT interventions and share methods to help structure practice and facilitate communication between professionals and researchers. The book’s multicultural, multidisciplinary examination of the essence of dance and its countless healing purposes will give readers new insights into the value and functions of dance both in and out of therapy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrative therapy focuses on the mind-body-spirit relationship, recognizes spirituality as a fundamental domain of human existence, acknowledges and utilizes the mind's power as well as the body's, and reaches beyond self-actualization or symptom reduction to broaden a perception of self that connects individuals to a larger sense of themselves and to their communities. When it was published in 2009, Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit Social Work was the first book to strongly connect Western therapeutic techniques with Eastern philosophy and practices, while also providing a comprehensive and pragmatic agenda for social work, and mental health professionals. This breakthrough text, written by a cast of highly regarded researchers from both Asia and America, presented a holistic, therapeutic approach that ties Eastern philosophy and practical techniques to Western forms of therapy in order to help bring about positive, transformative changes in individuals and families. This second features a major reorganization of Part III: Applications and Treatment Effectiveness, renamed to "Evidence-informed Translational Practice and Evidence." Based on systematic reviews of Integrative body-mind-spirit practices, Part III provides a "resource guide" of different types of integrative practices used in diverse health and mental health conditions. A new companion website includes streaming video clips showing demonstrations of the BMS techniques described in the book and worksheets and client resources/handouts. Here, the authors provide a pragmatic, step-by-step description of assessment and treatment techniques that employ an integrative, holistic perspective. They begin by establishing the conceptual framework of integrative body-mind-spirit social work, then expertly describe, step-by-step, assessment and treatment techniques that utilize integrative and holistic perspectives. Numerous case studies demonstrate the approach in action, such as one with breast cancer patients who participated in body-mind-spirit and social support groups and another in which trauma survivors used meditation to get onto a path of healing. These examples provide solid empirical evidence that integrative body-mind-spirit social work is indeed a practical therapeutic approach in bringing about tangible changes in clients. The authors also discuss ethical issues and give tips for learning integrative body-mind-spirit social work. Professionals in social work, psychology, counseling, and nursing, as well as graduate students in courses on integral, alternative, or complementary clinical practice will find this a much-needed resource that complements the growing interest in alternatives to traditional Western psychotherapy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victory, when faced with the trials and tribulations of life, is not about what you have (wealth, power, and influence). It's about WHO you have...the indwelling presence and power of GOD! Although I knew this to be true, I experienced first-hand what it truly meant to take God's righteous right hand and put my trust in Him when the doctor said, the test results show... I could feel my heart sink. My invisible, silent tears were there, but my faith was not shaken. Victoriously Dancing through Life, Orchestrated by God is an inspirational account of my spiritual dance when I was faced with a life threatening disease and what I learned about myself and my relationship with God. Some would see this dance as dark moments, but I was able to embrace the dance because of my relationship with God. I did not operate in my strength; I totally depended on God's power to lead and carry me victoriously through the process. I knew I had no control over the outcome, so I relaxed in my faith knowing He was with me. I rejoiced and sang songs of praise in the midst of the unknown. I held on to God's righteous right hand and allowed His Spirit to carry me through this dance. Together we danced. He led, and I followed! Like it or not, we will all face challenges in this life. The question is, will you face it alone? Or will you lean on the Word and promises of God? I chose the latter, and I hope this book encourages you to do the same.

Book excerpt: How can social workers integrate expressive arts methods as a complement to their work to better support individual, group, and community growth? Expressive Arts for Social Work and Social Change explores the values and benefits of expressive arts (i.e., visual arts, movement and dance, expressive forms of writing and narrative, music, and performance) and the role they can play in social work practice and inquiry. Although previous research has illustrated the efficacy of expressive arts to individual therapeutic goals, this is the first work that looks at the use of these approaches to fulfill the values, ethics, and principles of the social work profession. The authors draw from current and emerging concepts related to green social work, including individual and collective well-being, Indigenous perspectives and practices, social justice and social action, and individual as well as collective creative expression. This book provides insight and advice that will benefit all human service professionals interested in expressive arts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You are going to fight this?" "You're a warrior you can beat it." "It's going to be a battle but you'll come out the victor." I don't how many times someone has tried to encourage me with some version of the above statements. On the surface it sounds heroic to cast us as warriors, but describing our struggle with cancer as a fight, a battle, a war, doesn't give much insight into the experience and leaves only two possible outcomes: victory or defeat. What does this reveal of our encounter with cancer? Over the course of our illness we may reach levels of love and redemption we never experienced before. Can we love with all our might through this? Embrace the feeling that we have never wanted to live more. Marvel at how strong we are, surprisingly strong, incredible strong! Love is the only unlimited resource in the universe and it not war is the source of our healing.On an early spring morning Michael got out of bed and to his shock and dismay tumbled to the floor. He lost the ability to walk overnight. A few days later he found out the cause was a cancerous tumor compressing his spinal cord. Suddenly he faced the daunting tasks of dealing with his mortality, hoping to live on despite having an incurable cancer, and learning to walk again.Love Trust Gratitude Healing: Turning a Battle into a Dance and making Peace with Cancer chronicles Michael's journey through the ups and downs of his cancer treatments and how changing the metaphor for cancer from War to Dance changed the experience itself. He shares the surprising revelations, insights, experiences and gifts he received along the way and how they were instrumental in helping him heal spiritually and emotionally even when he was struggling to heal physically. This book is for those who are going through a major confrontation like cancer (this could include the covid-19 pandemic) how they can use the insights and simple exercises developed here in dealing with their own crisis giving them a better chance of healing physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Dancing with Cancer is a human drama, a ride on the roller coaster of hope and despair and, as the gradients became gentler, a journey through meditation and creativity to wisdom and acceptance. ,

"I am going to use my healing journey to help others going through this or any other difficult challenge in their life and I'm going to dance through it." Pat documented four years of her journey. She bared her thoughts, emotions, heart, breasts, bald head, and soul to show others that they really can do more than survive an illness. They can thrive. Live. Laugh. Love. Dance! The Cancer Dancer is a result of this documentation. Pat intimately shares her healing journey and a collection of tips, advice, and innovative ideas learned from her experiences as well as other women who have walked the same path. The Cancer Dancer is for patients and those who love them. It is also for anyone who wants to live a more peaceful, happy life. The book is empowering, life-changing, informative, uplifting, and easy to read. As Pat always says, "Joy is a choice away." www.PositivelyPat.com

Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary study details spiritual approaches including meditation and yoga shown to be helpful in improving physical and psychological well-being. Whether a person suffers from a psychological or physical malady, such as depression, addictions, chronic pain, cancer, or complications from pregnancy, the best practice treatments likely include one common thread: spiritual practice. From meditation and yoga to spiritual surrender and religious rituals, spiritual practices are increasingly being recognized as physically and mentally beneficial for recovering from illness and for retaining optimal health. Healing with Spiritual Practices: Proven Techniques for Disorders from Addictions and Anxiety to Cancer and Chronic Pain, edited by the director of one of the nation's best-known university institutes of spirituality and health, explains current and emerging practices, their benefits, and the growing body of research that proves them effective. Comprising chapters from expert contributors, this book will appeal to students, scholars, and other readers interested in psychology, medicine, nursing, social work, pastoral care, and related disciplines.
