Dreambody is the foundational introduction to process oriented psychology, by its founder Arnold Mindell, an MIT Physicist and Jungian Analyst. The Dreambody bridges the gaps between depth psychology, somatic psychology, spirituality, and energy based mind-body practices. "Most of the modern body work known to me is basically materialistic in outlook; even many of the Eastern teachings have taken that turn too. A viewpoint that tries to keep a balance between mind and body is very much needed. Every dream image can thus be seen as belonging to that in-between realm, referring equally to the mind and to the physiological body. I therefore hope that Dr. Mindells pioneering work will encourage more research in this still unknown realm of experience." -Marie-Louise von Franz, March, 1982 "There was a gap between depth psychology and focus on the body, as if these two perspectives on the human experience were different worlds. The Dreambody bridged it by describing an underlying process that is both dream and body, and this opened up whole new perspectives..." -Serge Prengel, Editor, Somatic Perspectives on Psychotherapy

Deep Democracy Exchange

Arnold Mindell introduced Process Work as a new scientific paradigm where the observer and an observed event are entangled in a dreamlike way that shows how dreams, body experiences, relationship dynamics, and synchronous phenomenon are part of a unified field organized by process. River's Way creates a practical methodology that bridges psychotherapy, medicine, quantum physics, mythology, and indigenous cosmologies; addressing a broad range of human experience. Arnold Mindell, Ph.D., is the author of twenty books including Dreambody (Deep Democracy Exchange, 2011), The Dreammaker's Apprentice (Hampton Roads, 2001), Quantum Mind (Lao Tse Press, 1999), and The Shaman's Body (HarperSanFranscico, 1993). He is known throughout the world for his innovative synthesis of dreams and bodywork, Jungian therapy and group process, consciousness, shamanism, quantum physics, and conflict resolution. Dr. Mindell travels widely in the U.S. and abroad, holding workshops and making frequent appearances at professional conferences and on television and radio shows.

River's Way: The Process Science of the Dreambody

Arnold Mindell is the founder of a new school of therapy called Process-Oriented Psychology and is known throughout the world for his innovative synthesis of dreams, bodywork, Jungian therapy, group process, consciousness studies, shamanism, quantum physics, and small and large group conflict resolution. Quantum Mind is his radically ground breaking exploration of principles found in psychology, math, quantum physics, and shamanism. This comprehensive work ventures into that challenging junction, journeying through the universe on paths of reason and magic, math and myth, bringing together humanity's traditional wisdom and shamanism with contemporary science. Carl Jung predicted long ago that someday quantum physics and psychology will come together. This integration is the most fascinating aspect of the paradigm shift in science right now; however, until now only physicists have written about integrating psychology and physics, but psychologists have been quiet about it perhaps because physics still scares most psychologists. Finally, Arny Mindell, a famous psychologist, has come forward and what a treat his book QUANTUM MIND is. It is about many things you have wondered around this integration, and is so much more. And Mindell makes it all exciting especially when he explores the subject of dreams which is his specialty. If you are curious about science's most important paradigm shift, you will want to read this book and you will deepen your understanding. -- Amit Goswami, Author of "The Self-Aware Universe: How Consciousness Creates the Material World" and "Quantum Creativity." Once again, Arny Mindell breaks new ground by bringing the world of quantum physics and psychology together. This is exciting and adventurous territory for anyone seeking wisdom. Quantum Mind provides a map to navigate this previously uncharted realm. Mindell, whose work has always been at the leading edge of psychology, demonstrates a mastery here that is a compelling read for all those willing to explore new possibilities. -- Michael Toms, co-founder "New Dimensions Radio" What Mindell accomplishes is breathtaking in its scope, and in its ability to communicate difficult ideas easily in a friendly teaching manner. Using his notes from the course taught for years to students of psychology, his experience as a therapist and physicist, and his clear writing ability makes this book a must-read for students and lay persons interested in the ever-growing field of depth psychology. Mindell sprinkles psychological exercises throughout the text providing the reader with imagined experiences of entering a black hole, appearing in parallel universes, taking the mind boggling quantum leap, and many, many others. It is at once a physics text, psychology text, and a friendly popular read. I highly recommend it. -- Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., author of "The New Alchemy," "The Spiritual Universe," "The Dreaming Universe," and the national book award winning "Taking the Quantum Leap."

Quantum Mind: The Edge Between Physics and Psychology

Mindell PhD, Arnold

“Just as the earth is moved by the universe, you, me, every human, every life form, and every thing is moved by the universe as well. This movement feeling, the sense of the universe’s gravity field or what Einstein called space–time, is not just felt by astronauts. All of us feel moved by gravity all the time.” “When you let gravity move you, when you are moved by space–time, you are moved by the universe. When you are moved in this way, you are showing the ‘dance of the ancient one,’ and are in contact with the space between us, with the subtle experience of being moved by what I shall explain is a system mind—possibly the most powerful system mind available to us.” — Arnold Mindell, The Dance of the Ancient One, Spring 2013
In his latest book, Mindell expands on his earlier concept of the processmind as he develops the notion of space–time dreaming or “dance of the ancient one” in his rigorous efforts toward the elucidation of a ToE (or theory of everything).
Space–time dreaming weaves together essential spiritual concepts from the Eastern mystical tradition of the Tao and Wu Wei of Chinese philosophy, along with modern Western field and space theories in quantum physics such as gravity, space time, unified field theories, indeterminacy and entanglement.
He draws upon personal field ideas (i.e., the unconscious), interpersonal social field and role theory from psychology and sociology, then adds concepts of intersubjectivity and entanglement from transpersonal and integral psychology. On a group level, he incorporates interdependence from organizational system mind models and places it all in the context of ecology, of Gaia, and then the larger universe. One World concepts, such as the Unus Mundus from mystical and alchemical traditions that work at a more essential or non-dual level to unite seeming opposites, facilitate the coming together of all of these varied perspectives in his framing of the space–time dreaming concept, experientially accessible as “The Dance of the Ancient One.”
Each chapter contains either an exercise to do in pairs or a small group, or an inner work exercise, so that you can facilitate yourself and experience the space–time dreaming states directly. Transcripts of discussions with his students are distributed throughout the book, and engagingly contribute to a diverse and resonant learning experience.

Arnold Mindell describes "The Leader as Martial Artist" in his new 2014 preface: "Here you will find my first introduction to Deep Democracy, as thecore of organizational process. Here is where you will find a basic and today, still completely relevant application of field theory, how it connects with Taoism, and “time spirits”. The stress upon awareness in the midst of psychological and political turbulence is timeless .

La evolucion de conflicto a comunidad a traves de la democracia profunda A mucha gente nos aterroriza el conflicto, dice el Dr. Arnold Mindell, reconocido internacionalmente por su innovadora sintesis entre trabajo Junguiano, suenos y trabajo corporal y autor de quince libros. Pero no debe asustarnos. Su mayor pasion es crear grupos y organizaciones donde todas las personas deseen entrar en sus procesos grupales en vez de temerlos. El le llama la democracia profunda de los foros abiertos, donde todas las voces, pensamientos y sentimientos se exponen libremente, especialmente los que nadie quiere oir. Des de 1992, uno de los principales intereses de Mindell ha sido el traer conciencia profunda a los conflictos grupales. Trabajar en conflictos sin tomar en cuenta los estados alterados de consciencia, es lo mismo que poner una vacuna contra la gripe a alguien en un estado de conciencia depresivo o maniaco. La mayoria de problemas grupales o sociales no pueden resolverse o facilitarse correctamente sin acceder a la atmosfera mistica y a los suenos de su trasfondo. La clave es ser consciente de esto. Mindell introduce un nuevo paradigma de trabajo de grupos, de 3 hasta 3000 personas, basado en la conciencia del flujo de senales y acontecimientos. Puedes percibir la senales mas sutiles que indican el comienzo de emociones como la ira, la rabia, la desesperanza, y otros estados alterados y usarlas para transformar los problemas aparentemente mas imposibles en alentadoras experiencias de comunidad. Tal y como Mindell explica, "Comparto como todo el mundo (gente involucrada en escuelas, organizaciones, comunidades y gobiernos) puede usar sus experiencias internas, los suenos y el misticismo, en combinacion con metodos reales de resolucion de conflictos, con el fin de producir comunidades vivientes mas sostenibles y conscientes."
