The biggest mistake people make with Somatics

The key to getting somatics to work is______.
Can you free yourself from the tensions that run outside the awareness?

If you have a muscle tension problem, I may be able to help you.
Undo your specific patterns of tension, postural difficulties, stiffness, and pain.

*Private Sessions for Assessment, Guidance, and Addressing Your Specific Patterns*

Learn to relax the most stuck parts of your body, the tension patterns that make your pain, and also relax the patterns that make your mind busy, anxious or depressed.
Use these gentle somatic movements to teach your brain out of the tension holding patterns that it has you trapped in.
Look deeper to change the course of the ship.

❤YES I have seen the glimmers of my disconnection. All the words in the world are just words with no meaning until one EXPERIENCES it. Thanks for all your videos, Eric!

Introduction of Hemi-Sync sound frequencies effect with the somatic is outstanding and unbelievable.

[phoenixYFC]

Fulfilling a promise to a friend. This is my first introductory video to somatics. Thank you! ❤

[sesom]

Ahh totally makes sense now, keep the body fluid. Thank you!!!!

[AhhBexxo]

you remind me so much of my osteopath. he has recently uncovered a lot of my physical and mental trauma and is helping me through somatic exercises. i have just stumbled across your page and watching your videos has brought tears to my eyes. i cannot wait to exercise along side you later on. thank you so much 🖤

[davidtownsend]

I really needed to see this, so glad I found your work, thank you,

[manyscars]

I'm glad I found your channel. Thank you for making these videos. I've been working with a trauma therapist and it's taken me some time to understand somatics.

[jayalexandertilley]

That was a really simple yet profound, and concise expression of body/being wisdom. The reality of what you shared resonated in me immediately and all i want to know is how to discern and understand better how and where i'm misaligned in breathing space--because i know i am from a mixture of decades-long depression, perfectionism and an extensive relationship with an instrument--and how to begin to re-coordinate/reprogram breath and nervous system choreography.

Your video Inspired me to drop and spend 15 minutes on my Somatics!

[EternaLivesMatter]

I have begun sloooowly following Sara Warren, but I think I have a brain problem because I just don't follow easily. When I do get through some movements I feel so good. Thank you for your channel! I will be watching.

[mammybelle]

I agree. Each time I stretch I can feel my back muscles contracts which become very painful.

[FullStackDevOpsPRO]

Leaving a comment to say that somatics is awesome and just to help with your channel grow. I like the way you talk and teach, maybe make a few longer lessons just talking and explaining things:D

What I miss from Hanna somatics is the longer lessons formats which exist in Feldenkrais (from which Hanna somatics developed)

This is my third somatic vid (of yours and actually my 3rd ever.) I really enjoy your explanations. I am 63 and have things I am trying to heal. I took bio feed back and stress management 25 years ago and got rid of my migraines. Mind body connection is awesome. Now working on hips, bursitis, shoulders. Thank you for your great explanations.

By the way are you in Florida? I see one vid (jaws) where you were in Michigan but this vid looks more like my home. I am in Tarpon Springs. Nice to meet you Eric! Thanks for the help!

Hello Eric, can you provide scientific evidence to support somatics and also your particular view of somatics?

[eugeneano]

I can relate to well meaning teachers instructing us to straighten up, stop slouching.

🥀 Hi, Eric! ... So, little by little I'm trying some movements, in search of the person I would like to be... There is a state that I experience on a few occasions, after a nap... Just... There is no purpose in achieving this, it just happens... A delicious state of relaxation that, perhaps, is in my breathing... Any other attempt, (breathe like this or like this, for example) does not bring about this state... . The connection I make is in this ``lack of purpose´´.... which is what would bring this state of calm... My question is based on this idea: would there be some method of just letting the brain be and that it itself find your path making it easier to breathe? I feel that there is a fine line between effort and practice, both speak, I'm talking about what I perceive in myself... about a ``doing'', when it would have more to do with ``listening'' to oneself ...There's a missing link in this that I can't find... Thank you. 🌱

It’s actually kind of crazy because I always felt my breathing was shorter than other, especially when doing cool downs in workouts, I’m not able to take in deep breaths or release with the same intensity as breathing in. Huh….crazy what u can learn

[petermaier]

Eric, can I ask you for your opinion regarding a fracture of a vertebral end plate:
I'm trying to help someone who had this fracture 6 weeks ago (from falling).
The healing process is ongoing and can take a few months.
The doctors don't recommend any movement, mostly just stay still (even wear support corset). I'm not sure if I agree. I tend to believe, that very gentle (somatic) movements (including the back) can only be beneficial, when done carefully, slowly and of course without any pain. What's your take on this?
Thank you!

[eugeneano]

Where awareness of movements fits into this? Some feldenkrais person says awareness is vital.
