Many of us have learned to live our lives from the neck up. We disconnect from feelings and sensations to get through our very busy days. What would it look like to navigate with more connection to your full self? To come home to your body? Coming home to the body means recognizing your body as a site of intelligence and making space to trust and follow what it is saying. Like mindfulness practices that can help ease stress and still the mind, somatics practice supports learning how to make space for and take care of your body.
The word “somatic” comes from the Greek term “Soma,” which means “the living organism in its wholeness.” The practice of somatics is an integration of all our parts.
The soma includes the mind and body and incorporates how to trust and follow bodily sensations, thinking, feeling, and emotions into our learning.
