The Rules of the Soma
The Soma will not let go of an embodied pattern that has been protecting safety, belonging, or dignity, if a better embodied option is not available.
The Soma will release and process protective embodied patterns if healing is accessible, or if new embodied choices and moves become available that better take care of the original need.
The Soma responds to resilience, to an organic pace, rather than a sudden insight or breakthrough experience, and to practice with meaning and community
The Soma responds to practice connected to purpose.
The Soma responds to support and core needs being met by opening, changing, and awakening.
Hardwired for Safety and Belonging
Change can not begin until our needs of safety and belonging our met.
Scanning for S&B is seeking acknowledgement, legitimization, connection, worth, dignity, and love. These are all express somatically, and in our maps.
S&B literally SHAPE who we are, our bodies
Somatic Transformation is the undoing/disassembling/disorganizing/deconstructing of one's historical embodied "shape" so that another shape can come to life.
Questions identity: Who am I if I am not this shape?
