This paper discusses the combined practice of Middle Eastern Dance, Movement Therapy and the Chakra System and their role in health, wellbeing and personal growth. The researcher draws upon experiences from her private movement therapy practice and research material from a Masters thesis that discusses the therapeutic bene ts of Middle Eastern dance. It is anticipated that this paper will provide potential clients and dance movement therapists with research and case study information about a healthy and enjoyable practice to assist with health issues and provide insights into the physical and psychosocial impact of an ancient art form integrated with contemporary therapeutic practice.
