Some specific aspects make this approach unique: the fact that each of the body systems can be personally embodied and integrated; the fundamental groundwork of developmental repatterning; and the use of a body-based language to describe movement and body-mind relationships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The study of Body-Mind Centering\u00ae is therefore a creative process in which the material is explored in the light of self-discovery and a sense of openness. It has an almost unlimited number of areas of application. Among those currently most practiced: education, movement, dance, yoga, bodywork, somatic studies, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, child development, school education, music, voice, art, meditation, martial arts, athletics and other disciplines involving the mind-body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Bonnie founded the School for Body-Mind Centering<\/span><\/span><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><sup><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00ae<\/span><\/sup><\/span><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"> in 1973.
