Powerful Somatics? It is slow and gentle, isn’t it?

“I can’t believe such small movements make such a difference”

Yes, the small gentle movements are powerful. They enable you to move with greater ease and freedom. Somatics releases muscular tension which can cause chronic pain: such as, lower back pain, neck and shoulder issues … so yes, Somatics is powerful.

There is another way Somatics is powerful:

The aim of Somatics is to release tension in muscles, often tension you didn’t even know you were holding (Sensory Motor Amnesia or SMA).

We need a small amount of tension in our muscles for everyday function (or we would be a quivering mass of jelly) but many of us are using up a lot of energy keeping muscles contracted that do not need to be.

Do a quick scan now. Do you notice any immediate areas of tension or discomfort?

Then move up through the body, starting with the feet. As you visit each part of the body, spend time noticing then let the attention go and move onto the next bit. For me, glutes (bum muscles) and shoulders are often held tight. You may discover other areas.

How much more energy could you have if you learnt to release that excess tension?

How much more relaxed would you feel?

How much more freedom of movement you would have?
