What Is Body-Centered Somatic Therapy?<\/h2>

Body-Centered Somatic Therapy is the opportunity to have a felt experience. It is a process to embody yourself. It allows you to own your feelings both in terms of emotions and sensations within a safe, nurturing space.\u00a0<\/p>

Dynamics of a Body-Centered Therapy<\/h2>

It is one thing to understand things intellectually, quite another to feel and experience the truth of being a fully alive human being. Simply put, information is not mastery.<\/p>

Body Being & Heart, Body-Centered Somatic Therapy, is your chance to have it all. Using somatic activities facilitated by you or the therapist enables an experiential dialogue with your body, mind, and emotions.<\/p>

You can dialogue with your sub-personalities, those psychodynamic behavioural patterns, conditioned by the past. These may have been useful in early childhood, but these patterns may no longer serve you.<\/p>

The process allows you to release tensions held in the body and conditioned responses by bringing awareness to the full impact these unconscious or semi-conscious patterns have on your life. Practices that help you release tensions held in the body<\/a>\u00a0work hand in hand with this process, supporting the mind as it unwinds alongside the body.<\/p>

Why Body Awareness Is Key to Somatic Healing<\/h3>

Awareness is key to releasing what is no longer functional. You are not the body; you have a body; you are not your thoughts; you have thoughts; you are not your emotions; you have emotions.<\/p>

Awareness is not the witness or analyzer. It is your essential self<\/a><\/strong>. This essence is the awareness of awareness. It is ‘that’, the unified field which connects you to yourself and everyone and everything else. But just start with you on you!<\/p>

How the Mind, Heart, and Body Interact<\/h3>

In a simplified form, you may want to think of this as the mind thinks, your heart feels, and your sex desires. Unfortunately, this often plays out as a control issue. One aspect of you controls all the rest of your life until you are in touch with or aware of who you truly are.<\/p>

Understanding Your Inner Animal: The Body’s Nonconscious Voice<\/h3>

Tuning into your body leads to a deeper awareness of colors, sensations and emotions trapped in the very tissue of your body.\u00a0Your body records everything<\/a>. It replays the unresolved, incomplete scenarios of your life until you discover\u00a0a new way to honour and be with all aspects of yourself<\/a>.<\/p>

I call this a non-conscious, semiconscious part of you, the inner animal. It communicates generally without words with pain, discomfort or pleasure! This is your very tissue which needs your attention, your care. And it carries out and impacts innumerable autonomic functions throughout your day, every moment of your life.<\/p>

Unfinished aspects of childhood often show up as your inner child, but if you are no longer a traumatized child, look to your inner animal, the very tissue of your flesh. For those navigating deeper wounds, exploring\u00a0healing PTSD through somatic work<\/a>\u00a0reveals how this body-centered approach can transform even the most entrenched trauma into a pathway for growth.<\/p>

Body Rebalance<\/h3>

Body Being & Heart, Healing for Body and Spirit uses an integrative approach to your healing process, which rebalances sensations, emotions and mind. BBH addresses the physiologic symptoms which come with these imbalances. This integrative rebalancing also supports and optimizes your physical functioning<\/a>, including the immune system’s ability to protect and sustain the body.<\/p>

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is now scientifically recognized for its ability to increase Heart Rate Variability (HRV)\u2014the gold standard for measuring vagal resilience. And BBH works with the newest body system to be recognized medically, the Interstitium, as well as with ancient traditions of Chinese Acupuncture Principles and recent discoveries in somatic education, all within the context of nondualism. Pairing these modalities with practices like meditation, which calms your nervous system<\/a>, deepens the body’s capacity for lasting healing.<\/p>

In other words, BBH calms your nervous system and optimizes your physical functioning while opening your perspective and putting you in touch with your essential self. Much of this transformation begins with\u00a0the power of a gentle touch<\/a>\u2014a simple yet profound gateway into the body’s own healing intelligence.<\/p>

Somatic Therapy’s Gift: Peace Through Gentle Touch<\/h3>

Body-Centered Somatic Therapy has a gift of peace and calm for you…all of you. Let go, let the power of a gentle touch release unwanted fears, resentments and open to<\/strong> a peaceful you!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>

Sending Love, Light & Happiness,<\/p>
