Mythos — Dance of Psyche / Rhythm of Consciousness
The dreams & dances from the first book gain more significance in this sequel. A disembodiment through hurry-up rhythm has become more of a reality — effecting our health and freedom. From the Healer's journey, readers will discover that after the darkness of personal and collective trauma, the sacred light appears. Rhythm is described as a gateway to the collective unconscious and dreams. This is hope for healing in dark times, the way through trauma into light.
Dance of Psyche: Rhythm of Consciousness
This book describes the emotional/spiritual conditions of our times. It was a warning about profit over people, a hurry-up rhythm, and the effect it would have on our health and freedom: alienation, violence, war and potential for fascism. Dance is used as a symbol of the psyche. A personal and collective story is told through posture, rhythm, images, and dreams. The book includes illustrations, watercolor paintings of dreams, and beautiful photography of dance. Received a Bay Area Independent Publishers award for healing.

Endorsements
"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."

"For over thirty years, I have deeply respected Dr. Campbell's passion for knowledge and insight, not only for herself, but for others and society at large. She is a healer, teacher, artist, and dancer, and one who has the courage to go 'beneath the surface' in her role as a researcher seeking the collective links between illness and health. Dr. Campbell has orchestrated a remarkable and honest book about relationship and healing which emphasizes the unifying significance of music and dance."
Anne Nelson, RN, PsyD
"Dr. Christina Campbell correlates contemporary speeded rhythms with alienation, depression, illness and violence. A moving and historical account of healing through sacred dance, the author not only illuminates the roots of the problem in our culture but inspires hope for its cure through soulful embodiment."

"The words in this book are reflections of the deep and sensitive history of the Roma people (my people). 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."
