Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
O presente estudo, de cariz exploratório, desenvolve-se com base em dois objetivos centrais: enquanto investigadora e criadora de Movement from Within e considerando o carácter pioneiro desta investigação, objetivou-se num primeiro momento, através de um processo de revisão da literatura, estabelecer um corpo teórico que servirá a conceptualização do método; posteriormente, e com vista a dar suporte empírico à utilização desta prática, procurou-se compreender a experiência subjetiva de um grupo de participantes num programa de nove sessões de Movement from Within.
Movement from Within apresenta-se como uma prática psicocorporal que integra dimensões do domínio expressivo e espiritual.
Procura-se através desta prática, promover nos sujeitos espontaneidade, imaginação e consciência corporal, contribuindo para uma consciência mais ampla de si e da realidade, conducente a um processo de desenvolvimento pessoal.
A amostra deste estudo constituiu-se por seis participantes (quatro do género feminino e dois do género masculino), com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 46 anos. A recolha de dados foi realizada através de uma entrevista semiestruturada e de um diário de bordo entregue a cada participante no início do processo.
Os resultados obtidos indicam que a participação nas sessões de Movement from Within parece ter contribuído para um aumento de consciência da experiência através do corpo, promovendo no sujeito um diálogo interno que levou a uma exploração superior sobre aspetos de si e da realidade. A importância do grupo e os processos de mudança, revelaram-se também evidentes nos resultados desta investigação.
ABSTRACT: As an investigator and criator of Movement from Within, and considering the pioneering nature of this investigation, this exploratory study is developed under two central objectives. First, through a process of literature revision, it intends to establish a theoretical base that will serve to conceptualize this method. Secondly, in order to give empirical support to this practice, it aims to understand the subjective experience of a group of participants in a program of nine sections of Movement from Within. Movement from Within is a body practice that, from a psychological perspective, incorporates expressive and spiritual dimensions. This practice looks to promote spontaneiety, imagination and body consciousness, contributing to the amplification of self awareness, conducive to a process of self development. The sample of this investigation consisted of six participants (four females and two males), aged between 19 and 46 years. The data was collected through a semistructured enterview, as well as a diary given to each participant at the begining of the study. The results reveal that Movement from Within contributed to higher levels of body consciousness with each of the participants, promoting an internal dialogue and superior exploration of aspects of the self and of the reality. The importance of the group and the processe of change was also evident in the data.
