The re-discovery and integration of body and bodily-felt experience as well
as the connection between different levels of processing are essential parts of the
practice of Authentic Movement (AM). Memories and regression can be experienced as more
“whole” by adding formerly unconscious or forgotten bodily-felt aspects. Embodying
metaphors may lead to a direct experience of their structure. The integration of
different levels of experience can be furthered through metaphors which support a
holistic understanding of the body-mind process as well as the communication between
mover and witness. The BodyMind Approach (BMA) facilitates the connection and sense-making
between body movement, sensation, imagination, feeling and cognition for patients
suffering Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS) (Payne 2009a, 2009b).
