Somatic Healing
Somatic healing is a trauma-informed yoga practice. An embodied integration, the focus is on allowing you to find a way home to yourself.
The sacred vessel of the body holds your truth, houses your wisdom, is a sanctuary for the unchanging. To reinhabit this sacred vessel, reclaim our body, re-establish a sacred connection to ourselves, is empowering. Enlivened at the heart, we look to the body wisdom and learn how to heal the deep wounds that keep you repeating patterns.
I understand the fear that arises in even considering stepping into this place.
Those fears are often what keeps keep us disconnected. Held captive in our body, our trauma, our shame, our guilt, daily stresses keep us distant from us. We often compromise this connection to ourselves through looking outside to heal, looking for a quick fix to soothe what is happening in the moment. Though that may provide relief, the results are often unsustainable.
Living life in that way can often look or feel like
- constant busy-ness
- having many ideas yet nowhere for them to land
- restlessness
- discontentment
- unfulfilled with daily activities
- not living your purpose
Once in our bodies (and know for many of us this take time) we practice with patience. Grounded in our breath, we give ourselves time to be in the posture and encounter all we have dismissed or run from or have feared. We sit with discomfort and learn how to breathe there. We move our body to the rhythm of our breath and watch what arises, giving room for it all. We settle and find stillness and listen. Connected to the body wisdom, the body alchemy, we begin practices that create resiliency, a sustainable foundation on which to grow. There we have room to identify your needs, create a space of safety and move little by slowing toward your deep transformation.
All of it leading us to healing, to a joining with those parts of us we have forgotten about. We find a new intimate engagement with who we truly are. It is an exquisite reunion.
I know the depths of this work, this healing, first hand. All of my teaching arises from my own experience of trauma, my own experience of reinhabiting my body, my own experience of coming home to myself.
