Somatic Intelligence™
Somatic Intelligence™ is a process of therapeutic dialogue with our body. Our body has different sources of energy that vitalise us, such as physical, mental, emotional, spiritual to name a few. Imbalances in these can create physical tension, emotional overwhelm, mental stress or spiritual distance. All these aspects of ourselves are constantly seeking an inner balance and harmony.
By tracking our patterns and restrictions we are able to free bound up energy. This unrestricted flow of vitality supports a deep healing process. As we sharpen our awareness and orient to the intelligence of our body, we realize how our system self regulates to a new balance within, and in harmony with our life outside.
THE THERAPEUTIC PROCESS
It involves a relaxed friendly conversation with a trained practitioner who listens to a client’s health problems, or other challenges and orients the client’s attention to their body. The body communicates with us through the language of sensations. We learn to listen to and observe these sensations in our body. They express our symptoms and imbalances, our well-being and our strengths.
By being present with these sensations, we engage in a health dialogue with our system while also fine tuning and clarifying the perceptions of our body.
Awareness of sensations in our body also known as the ‘felt sense’ informs us of unconscious patterns and conditionings held in our physiology. It also informs us of the intelligence of health in our body. The client is supported to hold this awareness while developing a stable field of self – observation. As this field of observation stabilizes, we can witness how the body’s self -regulatory mechanism is able to balance, restore and heal from within.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Experience your body as the first gateway to wellness.
• Discover how the body imprints the brain; create body – mind regulations.
• Learn to recognise your stress boundaries and return to balance spontaneously.
• Divide your attention, multiply your awareness – develop the many facets of our brain.
“Awareness is a light that frees up restrictions as we are observing it. As we settle into a relaxed witness consciousness, we watch how our body self corrects.”
