Somatic Inquiry
Somatic Personal Practice
Every personal decision we make is based on emotion, even when we deliberatelymake rational, cognitive choices.
Most of the emotional material that our decisions are based on is invisible, hidden from us in our unconscious.
Somatic inquiry and somatic practices can gradually reveal – and shift – our hidden emotional reality.

Neutral or Pleasant
Somatic Personal Practice
Somatic Personal Practice
Neutral or Pleasant
In this moment and throughout your day, notice something that is pleasant or neutral and pause with it for just a moment.
Let your body experience neutral or pleasant.
This could be the sound of a bird
or the touch of your hand against your own skin
or the smell of food cooking
or the memory or image of a satisfying event.
Anything that is small and that is not unpleasant.
The idea is to add this practice in little moments, slowing down briefly, maybe even shorter than 5 seconds.
We are inviting our bodies to learn that neutral is possible, that pleasant is possible. A gentle nudging away from escalating distress and toward “It’s OK”.

Then and Now
Somatic Personal Practice
I don’t want to walk around acting like nothing bad is happening. But I don’t want to walk around consumed with fear and dread about the bad things that are happening.
That is the dilemma we faced as young children when we were not safe or our needs were not met: the choice of either denial or chronic distress.
For many of us, we had no choice but to minimize the trauma and hide from ourselves the impacts of the bad stuff.
This time I want a different way. Not minimizing and not paralyzed either. Persistently alive, connected, and breathing, even in the thick of it.
My body is willing to learn how to do this. I breathe, I feel, I choose life, I choose trust, I accept not knowing, I accept the feelings of fear and overwhelm. I allow space for hope. I am here.

Give it to the Earth
Somatic Personal Practice
Give it to the Earth
Shock. Fear. Grief. Anger.
Even as we don’t yet know how to navigate the very real threats and challenges, both in our individual lives and in our world, still the Earth can hold and digest our shock, fear, grief and anger.

Opening and closing
Somatic Personal Practice
Try physically opening and closing
Pause and sense your body.
Lower your head, pull your shoulders forward, generally move toward a more curled up posture. Feel what happens in your emotional and physical body.
Now lift your head, open your chest, feel your spine lengthen, let your shoulders pull back and gently drop into place. Feel what happens in your emotional and physical body.
Try repeating this a couple of times slowly with small incremental movements.
Thank you for the work you are doing on yourself and with yourself.

Be a dragon
Somatic Personal Practice
Somatic Personal Practice
Be a dragon
Feel for the pushy currents in your body or energy.
“Play act” at being a fierce dragon who gets what you want.
Curl your hands into claws
Breathe heavily or hiss, an audible and forceful out breath that does not include your vocal cords, so you can expel a lot of air making a small but intense noise.
Stand up on your toes if you can keep your balance.
Lift your arms overhead or to the side, still with claws.
Whisper or hiss: “Me!” “Alive!” “Want!”
Continue for half a minute, moving up and down on your toes, moving your arms and body however they want to move, and continuing to hiss these words.
