SOMATIC Mindfulness

• In Fundamentals, through attuned touch, we discover how tissues awaken to their own knowing, revealing the essential principles that allow the body to tell its story.

• In Connection, our listening hands explore the body's different planes and angles, inviting each area to discover its relationship with the whole, allowing natural patterns of integration to emerge.

• In Grounding, attuned touch invites the feet, legs, and hips to reveal their innate stability and support. These foundations share their wisdom of rooting and rising with the rest of the body.

• In Expansion, our responsive hands allow the breath to find its natural fullness and flow. The torso, back, arms, and shoulders are invited to reveal their capacity for both strength and openness.

• In Poise, gentle, attentive touch invites the spine and back to reveal their natural wisdom and grace. Our hands follow the rivers of tissue that flow beside and support the spine, allowing each layer to find its most elegant expression.

• In Radiance, attuned touch allows the neck, head, and face to express their natural lightness and clarity. These areas share their freedom with the whole body, revealing an effortless upward expression.

• In Resilience, attuned touch invites the vagus nerve and its vast network to reveal their natural capacity for regulation and recovery. Our listening hands engage with tissues that cradle this vital pathway, allowing the nervous system to find its inherent balance between activation and rest.

• In Fluidity, attuned touch invites both the body's inner waters and its movement expression to reveal their natural flow. Our listening hands engage with tissues as they ripple, pour, and stream, allowing movement to emerge with the same effortless quality as waves in the ocean.
