Mythos — Dance of Psyche / Rhythm of Consciousness
A healing story that shows a shift in consciousness from being a machine, moving fast in time to dancing with life, becoming a vibrant human being. It describes the emotional spiritual conditions of our times; the traumatic effects of profit over the needs of people, and the traumatic effects of the bully as gatekeeper of the profit motive.
“Dr. Campbell has orchestrated a remarkable and honest book about relationship and healing which emphasizes the unifying significance of music and dance. The reader is taken on a journey of thoughtful discovery.”Anne Nelson, RN, PsyD
Open communication is possible in an atmosphere of safety and trust. Honest communication with another human being is the best medicine.
Sharing human experience is the way out of repetitive struggling and isolation, and lights the way to new insights and perceptions. Dreams, the arts, and one's inner life are gateways into the unconscious that bring messages about survival and destiny.
Dr. Christina Campbell
Dance of Psyche
Inspired by the vitality of Greek music and dance, Christina studied and performed ethnic dances — classical Persian, Arabic, Turkish, Egyptian, Tunisian, Flamenco, and Greek — integrating movement and dance therapy throughout her clinical career.
Through rhythm in dance and through dreams, she brings a message about survival, grief, and the sacred — from Dances of Psyche to Fire Dance and Venus: Goddess of Love and Peace.

Praise for Mythos
Dr. Campbell’s Dance of Psyche is an impassioned, urgent and very personal call to free ourselves from the trance of the machine and to enter into a way of being that is deeply attuned with the natural rhythms of the body and the greater dance of life. She eloquently invites us to break out of the time-driven, mechanical mindset and lifestyle that generates so much of our disease and trauma, and to be more authentic, vulnerable and connected to one another.
Christina Campbell has given us another fascinating book, and like her first one, it comes at a time when the world is struggling with so many conflicting values. She describes the harm caused when profit becomes more important than caring about people. Her illustrations are from dreams and memories of the past. Her connection with the spiritual world makes her insights even more powerful. She writes as gracefully as she dances, with elegance.
Dr. Campbell Ed.D. draws insights from personal and professional experiences to look at the destructive effects of trauma on individuals, families, and communities. From these insights she puts forth a creative healing ritual based on dance and rhythm strongly supported with background information from world history.
We thought that technology is going to bring us new way of life and thinking, it’s rather opposite. We lost the basic of humanity, where we don’t have time for anybody. Christina is bringing out the multi-layered issues that are ignored (no time to think), in our society. Please read it and heal yourself.
…I hope every one who reads this book will understand what the Human race is going to be in a short time if we don’t stop the hate toward each other. Thank you Christina.
