A Somatic Healing Session is a deeply meditative, full-body practice designed to enhance your inner awareness and connection with your body’s systems. While lying down, you’ll be guided to observe and explore where survival patterns and past experiences are held within your body.
Through focused guidance, you’ll become the observer of your physical, mental, and emotional state, identifying areas that may be limiting, dysregulating, or compromising your overall health. This interoceptive practice works to energize and rejuvenate your body, promoting better immune function and revealing new possibilities for healing and growth.
As a result, you may experience increased energy, a higher vibrational frequency, elevated consciousness, and a profound sense of the coherent potential you hold within your body.
In each session, there will be guided lecture, as learning is firing an wiring new synaptic connections of meaning.
Lectures will include:
- Somatic integration definition
- The body as matter
- Biology and feelings
- The nature of pain
- The brain and mind Self Regulation
- The autonomic nervous system
We will also be doing numerous lying down Somatic meditations for healing the body, prioritizing your inner world, encouraging transformation to take place.
Somatic Meditation Practices for healing will include:
- Awakening the body in Somatic Mediation
- Feeling the body from within Somatic Meditation
- Observing, seeing and hearing our pain Somatic Meditation
- Changing our mind and healing our brain Somatic Meditation
- Self Regulation Somatic Meditation
- Neuroception; Releasing the hormones of stress Somatic Meditation
This is an introductory course that could lead to a 40 hour certification, learning to share this with others with additional trauma aware guidance and the release of limited beliefs.
Some personal reasons to apply Somatic Healing are:
- Over use of survival/living off of the hormones of stress
- Difficulty self regulating in stressful moments
- Chronic mood swings, fatigue, an over active mind or panic
- Sleepless or difficulty resting
- Focus on biological upgrading & releasing the sickness of the body from within
- Training ourselves to no longer carry the story of the past in the body
- Rehearsal of stressful situation ahead of time (court dates, surgery, business meetings, sports, performance)
- Focusing on new possibilities not yet aware of in the body
- To heal, change and feel empowered
