A qualitative study explored the lived experience of 5 Rhythms, a dancing meditation practice. Through intuitive inquiry and interviews with nine practitioners, eight core themes emerged. The findings suggest that processes including embodiment, interconnection with others, self and the world, mindful presence, self-compassion, freedom, spirituality, creativity, and the interplay of opposing forces such as surrender and control facilitate and accompany psycho-spiritual transformation in this practice.
