Abstract	Interest from varied academic disciplines regarding the mind–body connection has increased in recent decades. This interest has resulted in a proliferation of empirical research investigating the phenomenon. This growing body of research, coming from the cognitive and behavioral neurosciences and identified under the label of embodiment research, combined with the lively conversation between embodiment researchers, are of great importance to the field of dance/movement therapy (DMT). However, in order for DMT to participate effectively in the conversation, the field first needs a clarification of its own theory regarding the mind–body connection. This article distills a sub-section of existing DMT theory into a set of grounded descriptive statements, and summarizes existing empirical data from cognitive and behavioral neurosciences that substantiate the statements. A modified grounded theory method was used. Implications for future research direction are discussed.
