‘Body is not veiled from Soul, neither Soul from Body’ Jalaludin Rumi
tribhuvan is a Sanskrit term meaning three worlds, kingdoms or states. In classical Hindu literature the three bhuvanas are svarga (heaven), bhumi (earth) and potala (the lower regions). Esoterically, the tribhuvanas are the spiritual, the psychic (or astral) and the terrestrial dimensions.
Rudolf Steiner similarly to the Vedic tradition, identified three states of Being – Awake, Dream and Deep Sleep.
The development of my own multi-layered, multi-cultural work asa Dramatherapist hs been in what I call Threefold Dramatherapy – concerned with the Dramas Within the threefoldness of the approach refers to the simultaneous exploration of three areas:
- Being
- Consciousness-Soul-Development
- Renewal of the ego and persona in the Dramas of Everyday Life
