Romi Cumes Somatic Therapy, P.C.

Our bodies are storytellers. Long before our minds can make sense of an emotion, our bodies are already speaking — in tense shoulders, heat, restricted breath, or a restless need to move. Too often, these signals are unmet through avoidance, or responded to with the urge to “get rid of” them right away.

Somatic Tracking offers another path: to notice, follow, and listen without rushing to change what’s there.

Somatic Tracking is about befriending your body, one moment at a time. By pausing to notice sensations, you strengthen the brain–body pathways that support safety, regulation, and resilience.

🌿 And the expression of dynamic wisdom through the rhythms of embodied reality (relationship between Chokmah and Yesod).

The peaceful Druze and Christian communities of Syria are facing unspeakable violence.

This is their October 7.

✨May the forces of light and strength protect all those facing terror and erasure.

We must hold them in our hearts, in our prayers, and in our collective conscience.

We stand with them.
💙🤍💛❤️💚

💬These phrases have been said for generations. But what do they really mean? I asked ChatGPT to help me explore the deeper truth behind them. Here’s what we came up with.

🗣️ A video of artificial advocacy by Ori Bejerano and Guy Bar lit up Jewish Instagram recently—and I almost believed it was real.

It wasn’t. But the message? Still powerful.

It inspired a reflection on the future of consciousness and morality, the persistence of antisemitism, and the strange, dichotomous nature of AI.

🌀 There’s a lot to manage in life right now, and the body holds so much for us — stress and tension, tenderness, grief, and deep wisdom.

In this short clip, I speak to the importance of slowing down and attuning to the lived experience of the body. Sometimes, the most healing thing we can do is simply pause, soften, and offer ourselves a little grace.

🌀 Whether you're caught in the cycle of doing too much or feeling immobilized by overwhelm, remember:

→ Our value is not defined by productivity. And yet, the productivity of self-care is invaluable—and our sense of worth often lives in the quiet spaces that emerge in the moments in between. ✨

Check out the 7-step somatic reflection practice in my latest blog post—it's an invitation to pause, reframe, and meet yourself with care.
