Here is a stort video Braindance What is it?

Mindful BrainDance brings together the Welcoming Prayer and BrainDance adding a spiritual component to the mind/body emphasis of BrainDance. This is a unique practice created by Pulelehua in 2016 as a healing response to personal trauma. The combination of these practices helps return us to the original spinning cells of love from which we are all created.

This spiritual practice integrates movements of the body with the heart and soul of the individual. Mindful Braindance is open to anyone who feels MOVED to feel the power of Divine Grace through embodied meditation. No dance or prayer experience is needed. We all move at our own pace and are given opportunities to share our prayer concerns in life Mindful BrainDance combines BrainDance and the Welcoming Prayer practices to build and revitalize our neurological systems.

BrainDance reinforces the patterns and reflexes – the primal and core movements of first year of life – which are essential to our health. The infant, fresh from the hand God, knows that the divine indwelling is within and part of us. Infants in the first year of life have the gift of Surrendering to this moment as it is. Repeating these patterns over time may help us fill in and Repair any missing gaps in our neurological system due to birth trauma, illness, environment, head injury or not enough floor time as a baby.

The Welcoming Prayer guides us to once again, let go and embrace this moment as it is. Together BrainDance and the Welcoming prayer leads us to Balancing our mind/body/spirit.
