Why Somatics?

Picture the reality that we live in a universe literally without end. If you really really try, it hurts. The mind feels safe imagining reality as a place with clear parameters. Most of the time, these parameters keep us safe, but sometimes they get us stuck.

We often think in binary stories; I’ll get it or I won’t, I’ll win or I’ll lose. Truthfully, there are billions of possibilities just beyond the limit of what we can imagine.

Breathwork, meditation, and yoga move us away from the mind and into the body. The body speaks in ambiguous expressions of aversion and desire. You feel in your body that there must be more to life than this. Your mind stalls where it can’t make language for the “more” you’ve never witnessed. Somatic practices make room for you to follow possibilities your mind cannot conceive. You can start moving toward truth that has escaped you by letting go of your need to assign everything a label and everyone a role.
