CURRENTS

Currents is the annual journal of The Body-Mind Centering® Association, Inc. and offers professional writing in the field of somatics. The journal's content reflects the depth and breadth of the Body-Mind Centering work and includes articles and case studies about working with infants, children and adults and applications of BMC to yoga, dance, and teaching movement.  It also contains photos, artwork, and poetry expressing varying aspects of somatic states.

Process is defined as “a series of actions directed to some end or a continuous action, operation, or series of changes taking place in a definite manner.” This may take place in the physical world or on the more intangible level of unpacking emotional issues or thinking through a problem. The original meaning of the word comes from the Latin “course” or a “sequence.” However, Middle English evolved the word towards the idea of a “journey” and a ‘’procession,” which conjures images of movement from one stage to the next. Also, “pilgrimage,” “parade” or “festival” leads us through beginning, middle and end towards transformation. For artists of all kinds, process is involved in developing the creative outcome, just as in developing new skills or letting go of old habits. The healing process aims to bring us to a sense of well-being. Ultimately, Process operates on all levels—the cellular, the planetary–telling the travelers they are going somewhere.

Currents, the annual journal of BMCA, is a professional periodical that publishes writing on the nature of the body-mind experience and its interrelationships across disciplines. Supporting both scholarly and creative texts, Currents is unique in its attention to the development of somatic writers and their writing. We welcome fresh research, rich description, and embodied documentation of new modes of healing and expression.

We invite submissions from both beginning and advanced writers.
