Somatics
A recent buzzword that’s being used more and more frequently as people who are looking for inner work opportunities hear it in the wellness communities.
When I was reflecting upon the word Somatic during meditation. My angels wanted me to break this down.
A story came to mind, my husband Doug loves it when I say, “There and many ways to get to Belair”
(a wonderful grocery store in our community.)
As he drives, he likes a direct path.
I, on the other hand, go many different ways. There are probably 7 different paths to get there.
We are in long term recovery and also blessed with being Yoga of Recovery Counselors.
When I first became a Yoga of Recovery Counselor there is a saying, “The Issues Are in Our Tissues.”
Oh I loved learning that! Especially since my Recovery Journey, when I got Sober and Clean, led me to EMDR due to trauma and triggers in my life.
My Mentor/ Sponsor suggested it after she heard my step work. She basically guided me to become the best version of myself with nothing to hold me back.
EMDR brought forth to the surface things of patterns in my life that kept me in a loop.
I had to ask myself: How free do I want to be?
Well I want to be comfortable underneath my own skin.
I developed tools to help me fill the void of that old story which was passed down through many generations.
Tools that help me are:
Breath
Mindfulness
Meditation
Yoga
Yoga Nidra
Sound Healing
Body Movement
Prayer
Conscious Contact with the Divine
My purpose is these activities listed are All Somatic.
So when you wonder what “Somatic” is…
Here is a K.I.S.S from me to you
Keep It Simple Sweetie
And
Easy does it
Let’s not complicate this and intimidate people with complicated words.
We are all on this Path Shoulder to Shoulder.
With Love, Brigitte
