Sensorische lichaamsmapping is een oefening die aanraking gebruikt om een dieper gevoel van lichaamsbewustzijn te ontwikkelen. Door je lichaam met je handen te verkennen, creëer je een tactiele verbinding die bewustzijn brengt in elk gebied, waardoor je je fysieke zelf volledig kunt bewonen. Deze techniek aardt je in het huidige moment, overbrugt de kloof tussen geest en lichaam en legt de basis voor authentieke beweging in je dans.
The purpose of Sensory Body Mapping is also to create a full, nuanced map of your body in your mind's eye. This awareness is important when dancing, as it allows you to move with intention and precision. Knowing the exact feel and position of each part of your body can lead to more expressive, accurate, and immersive dancing. It helps you stay present, preventing your mind from wandering and keeping you deeply engaged in the experience of movement.
Exercise
Use your hands to explore each part of your body. The touch can vary depending on what feels right in the moment; you might press firmly to feel the underlying muscles and bones, or you might choose to tap, pat, or stroke lightly to sense the skin and surface textures. This exploration is not just about physical touch; it’s about inviting a dialogue between your mind and body. As you move your hands across different areas, pay attention to the sensations that arise. Each touch should bring that part of your body into sharper focus, making you more aware of its presence and any sensations it might be holding - tension, relaxation, warmth, or even emotional echoes.
