We are self-organising, living systems, constantly in relationship with and responding to our lived experience.
A somatic practice can be one of inquiry that fully acknowledges this; our aliveness, our interconnected nature and our inherent wisdom. It is our direct experience of life moving through us. A space to explore the aliveness within us and to recognise how we have been shaped and organised. Our responses to life expressed within us.
(Caveat: that’s not always easy or pleasant and can be extremely painful and confronting and is ground that should be tread lightly and with the care & support of a therapist where trauma is concerned; building resources, increasing capacity)
Through this practice, we can create the space and opportunity for noticing and recognising what lives within us - a pain or tension here, a dull ache there, spaciousness, fullness, separation, connection, pain, joy. The full spectrum of our experience, noticing and building our capacity for all of the possibilities to exist together.
Who are we? What does it all mean? And how can we make sense of it and ourselves as we enter into relationship with this information? Our body is a reflection of life, our mental & emotional worlds are expressed through the soma. What’s happening in the soma when we make space to recognise it - listening, sensing, feeling, receiving. It is our own living intelligence. A score of stories past and what lives with us here now in the present. And perhaps nothing is more powerful a source and insight than that.

“We are able to fully embrace everything that ever was, even if it was terribly painful. Because after all, everything helped us get to this moment, right now. We have to somehow find the capacity to really want to know what’s true, in this moment. It’s the truth that allows us to shift out of the state of consciousness we feel trapped in, into a whole different state of consciousness, which is more open, free, inclusive, and infinitely more creative.”
