Abstract
Applied Natya Therapy is a new and modern technology based on the 3000 year old treatise on Body, Voice, Ornamentation and Emotions! The ancient Indian text Natya Shastra was written by Bharat Muni contained the language that surpasses the limitation of the language and words. All these together form an immersive technique which I have integrated with Psychotherapy to utilize the modern scientific language to explain such a phenomenal study done thousands of year ago. The techniques and codification of various movements of body corresponding to the states of mind is a unique way to express the real emotions of individual as well as the society as a whole. Saatvika, the fourth pillar is the key to enter the domain of feelings and sentiments. How do we reach this fourth pillar to bring out the emotions and sentiments that are stuck somewhere in the body. ANT derives the technique of combination of Durable and Complimentary Psychological states to reach catharsis, healing, pleasure and satisfaction. Confluence of Neuro Science and Psychotherapy has created an evidence-based approach to healing and for the first time Indian Art forms can be adapted in multiple healing modalities. ANT process involves natural as well as symbolic gestures, postures and movements of the major, minor parts of the body. The therapeutic intervention to explore the idea of using body as a medium of healing using this approach is uniquely useful as a projective technique leading to catharsis and healing. ANT also includes using myths and metaphors to empower the individual to work at his /her true potential leading to self actualization and also provides resources and vocabulary to process and execute interventions.
