Sense.Open.Move.Awaken™
A Body Conversation using four somatic practices.
SomaTalk™ is a parts-based, body-centered emotional processing "conversation" infused with the power of breath. Guided by sensory awareness, clients cycle from states of suffering into states of awakened peace through four somatic processes: Sensing, Opening, Moving & Awakening.
Trauma heals when the body speaks.
Begin with Sensing
Identify Story, Shape and Shadow
Story:
Parts holding core beliefs. Our self-depricating narratives.
Shape:
Protective Parts presenting in posture, gestures, breathing and personality.
Shadow:
Exiled, often younger Parts, burdened with painful memories, shame and suppressed emotions.
Self:
The adult, open, spacious, loving and limitless part of self available to hold other parts with loving-kindness.
Cycle through four somatic processes:
Story, shape and shadow are sensed with conscious connected breathing and invited to "talk" through somatic interventions. Adaptive parts of self awaken into their authentic roles.
Sense
clients learn to drop down into the implicit felt sense of knowing while also befriending parts of self through sensory awareness (Gendlin).
Open:
clients learn to notice and open defenses to feeling by opening the heart and body while offering compassion.
Move
using breathwork and other practices, stuck emotions are invoked and invited to move through the body with sensory inspired gestures and somatic expression.
Awaken:
During the final integration phase, the body speaks through the voice of intuition and loving-kindness. To integrate is to awaken to ones wholeness again.
SomaTalk™
Unwinds the somatic contractions of trauma.
Lifts the veil of shame uncovering and revealing ones deeply inherent worthiness.
Awakens adaptive protective parts into their authenticity.
Testimonial: "This felt like psychedelics without drugs! I felt like something deep within me shifted." --Cam
S-O-M-A
Clients are guided to cycle from mind into body through the felt sense, where adaptive patterns/parts and emotions awaken into authenticity.
The method goes beyond words by facilitating somatic listening and expression; communication occurs through the language of the body (sound, breath, emotion, gestures).
SomaTalk™ invites surrendering into deep states of belonging inviting the emergence of supressed emotion. Protective nervous system states and patterns sense safety and surrender.
The veil of separation is lifted and shadow parts awaken to their natural states.
S-O-M-A
Sense into their body and notice the parts of self needing loving attention and expression. Self-Awareness.
Open to their goodness and belonging and surrender their protective persona. Offer compassion, permission, acceptance and non-resistance. Self-Compassion.
Move whatever emotional and physical impules that emerge using breathwork as a vehicle for expression. Self-Expression.
Awaken to the authentic nature of each Part of self. Remember their inherent peace and happiness. Self-Possession.
