The term somatic means “of or relating to the living body,” and it’s used in medical terminology; for example, somatic cell, somatic nervous system, somatic disorder, and somatic pain. The word soma means “the body as perceived from within.” The words soma and somatic have become buzzwords in the health and wellness industry. You might have heard of somatic yoga, somatic experiencing, somatic psychology, somatic therapy, or somatic education. Since the definitions of soma and somatic are fairly generic, they can be used to describe a variety of forms of movement and healing modalities. Pretty much any type of movement or therapy that involves paying attention to your internal physical sensations and experiences can correctly be described as somatic. A somatic movement is a movement that’s practiced consciously with the intention of focusing on the internal experience of the movement rather than the external appearance or the end result of the movement. **Below are video examples of Somatic movements that "YOU" can try. Start slow and work your way into it. Allow yourself to "feel" and embody the trapped emotions you want to release. Don't be shy, your healing journey starts now!!

In today's society it can be hard to truly know who you are, and freely operate as such. There are so many different forces at work that we often make decisions based on unconscious biases that we have embedded in our psyche. From the way we dress, cut our hair, to the way we operate at school or work. Television, music, film, social media and other industries have created overwhelming complexities on the way we see ourselves in the world. But here we are striving for a better life, better health, mental and spiritual healing that leads to elevation and growth. To achieve the freedom to be ourselves can come with the reality that you may not know "who you truly are". So much of who we are can often come from outside sources, opinions, upbringings, beliefs or experiences. And with that, you would need to do a deep dive on the "makings of you". Have you found your authentic "self"? Do you know who you are or who you want to be?https://www.betterup.com/blog/how-to-find-yourself

The power of "Acceptance" can be powerful and breathtaking; at times it can also be overwhelming and confusing. BUT, it doesn't mean you are giving up or have to remove your emotions. It really just means that you are going to accept reality "for what it is". It is purely about accepting what is happening in that moment, no resistance or denial. However, it doesn't require you to "Approve" of the situation, and it doesn't mean you can't make changes to get new results. Other than that it's about being logical and seeing things from a clear perspective without using your emotions.😉 https://consciousdiscipline.com/blog/seven-powers-power-of-acceptance/
