WEEK 3 SOMATIC

Somatic Body Awareness

Your Body Knows What Your Mind Has Forgotten

Somatic Healing: Trauma and emotion live in your body. Somatic work means learning to feel, release, and heal through your physical body.
Body Scan: Where Do You Hold Tension?
Sit quietly. Scan from head to toes. Where does your body feel tight, numb, or stuck? What sensations do you notice?
Where Do You Feel Your Emotions?
Grief in your chest? Anger in your jaw? Shame in your belly? Map where emotions live in your body.
Your Body's Message
If your body could talk, what would it tell you? What have you ignored? What does it need?
Safe Touch Exploration
What touch feels safe? Massage? Holding your own hand? Cold water? Identify things that help regulate your nervous system.
Breathing Practice
Try this: Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Do this 5 times. How does your body respond?
