Critics Review
“This is a tour de force of insight and celebration of the sacred, a companion you will want by your side throughout the year. Not only does Dr. Walter guide us through the movements of the body, from the sacred dance posture to breathing, but she feeds our minds with the origins and root meanings of the dance we practice day by day, spanning the world and time, from Jewish mystics to ancestral Egyptians to Indigenous Iberians and more. She guides our meditation and, importantly, shares with us the ways we can carry on the ecstasy, knowledge, or spirituality we feel in movement to embrace our own humanity and the wider world. This book is transporting.”
—Mary Jo McConahay, author of The Tango War and Maya Roads
“More than a set of instructions for body movement, dance has been transformed by masterful Carla into an ecstatic embodiment of rhythm, mysticism, myth, and meaning. Daily reflections involve the whole body, mind, and spirit.”
—Rev. Linda Martella-Whitsett, Unity Minister and author of Divine Audacity
“As a seeker and as a long-time practitioner of movement meditation, I found myself captivated by this meticulously crafted book. If you wish to live, as Dr. Carla describes it, in the ‘temple of unlimited joy,’ she and the opus before you will be your guiding star to making ‘elation a way of life.’”
—Lisa Napoli, author of Radio Shangra-La
