Somatic practices reunite us with our body. We use movement to perceive our body from within, to know ourselves beyond our thoughts and stories. If its hard to know how we feel about something, a Somatic practice will put us in touch with our emotions. For those that feel too much, a Somatic practice allows you to witness more neutral, tolerable sensations and to find places of quiet refuge. These practices take us into the symbolic landscape of the inner body, that uses images, memories, shapes, colors and movement to communicate. To navigate that landscape, we use the breath, our points of contact, and our center. They become felt landmarks, anchors and guides to staying grounded.
