Somatics
The term “Somatic” is derived from the Greek word “Soma” (which translates to “living, aware and bodily person”). In other words, Somatic pertains to the body, experienced and regulated from within.
Somatic therapy adopts a holistic approach, through its study of the relationship between the mind and body in regard to psychological past. Through the use of mediums for self-inquiry such as movement, meditation, breath work, touch, visualisations, sounds and creative expressions, it aims to dive deep into our consciousness and embodied biological processes.
Through Somatic therapy, we can expect to improve motor control, coordination, rewire brain-body patterns, and rehabilitate injuries. This approach is also highly effective for relieving chronic pain, improving bodily function, and facilitating recovery from common musculoskeletal conditions.
“The mind is like the wind & the body is like the sand. If you want to know how the wind is blowing, you can look at the sand.”
