What is Somatic Healing and why you should care?
Because it works! Somatic Healing is a therapeutic approach that recognizes the connection between the body and mind. It focuses on the physical sensations and experiences stored in the body as a result of trauma, stress, and emotional experiences. The term "somatic" comes from the Greek word "soma," meaning "body." Thus, somatic healing emphasizes bodily awareness and the release of tension, trauma, and emotional pain through various techniques.
When we encourage our clients to 'embody' their healing stressing the importance of understanding this mind/body connection is essential.
Somatic techniques can include
-
Breathwork: Focusing on breath to release tension and promote relaxation.
-
Movement Therapies: Engaging in physical movement, such as dance or yoga, to facilitate emotional expression and release.
-
Touch Therapies: Techniques such as massage or acupressure that can help to release stored tension in the body.
-
Mindfulness and Meditation: Practices that enhance awareness of bodily sensations and promote a sense of calm.
Taking the time to listen to your body and focus on the physical manifestations of emotional experiences can achieve profound healing and transformation. Together with the practitioners at The Reiki Center you can find the method that works best for you. Breathwork, Yoga and Massage are just a few ways to embody your healing and support your journey.
Warmly,
The Reiki Center Family
