Somatics is relating to the body. Using the body as a gateway for reconnecting to the safety, vitality and joy that is available to us through our awareness. There are many subtle, and not so subtle ways we become disconnected from our bodies & somas. It is an inevitable, and normal part of this messy human experience. It is extremely useful and a wise adaptation to daily stress and more severe trauma.
These practices are just that - a practice. May you use them with self compassion and a deep reverence for all your bodies wisdom.
