Connect with Your Body + Somatic Movement

Do you often feel disconnected from your body or experience tension and discomfort? Somatic movement practices can help you reconnect with your body, release physical and emotional stress, and improve overall well-being.

What is Somatic Movement?

Somatic movement involves gentle exercises and mindful movements that focus on internal body sensations. It emphasizes the mind-body connection and encourages awareness of how we move and hold tension in our bodies.

Benefits of Somatic Movement:

• Improved body awareness
• Release of muscular tension
• Stress reduction
• Enhanced flexibility and mobility
• Emotional release and relaxation

How to Start:

1. Find a quiet, comfortable space where you can move freely.
2. Begin by focusing on your breath and tuning into your body sensations.
3. Start with simple movements like gentle stretches, twists, and slow, deliberate motions.
4. Pay attention to how your body feels during each movement and adjust as needed.
5. Stay present and mindful throughout the practice, allowing yourself to fully experience the sensations in your body.

Try These Somatic Movements:

Here are a few simple somatic movements you can incorporate into your daily routine:

• Neck Rolls: Gently roll your neck in circles, moving slowly and with awareness.
• Spinal Twists: Sit or stand tall and twist your torso from side to side, feeling the stretch in your spine.
• Shoulder Circles: Roll your shoulders up, back, and down in a circular motion to release tension.
