I've been feeling a bit tense lately, and this Somatic video couldn't have come at a better time!
Like many people, I tend to hold tension and stress in my body, making it essential to find ways to relax my nerves, muscles, and joints. There are numerous methods to achieve this, but I personally find that combining breathwork and body movement is the most effective for me.
And you don't have to be super flexible or do fancy moves to do this one!
During and after watching this video, I experienced a wonderful sense of calm that set a positive tone for my day. Over the years, I've explored various styles of body/mind practices, and this particular video felt like a beautiful blend of many of them. I appreciate the flexibility in choosing what resonates with us individually, which is why I adopt an integrative approach in my counseling practice. We are all unique, even in our shared experiences.
In my experience, this video incorporated elements of reiki (tuning into the body's energy), chi gong (gentle patting movements), havening (soothing brush strokes), breathwork (remember to breathe deeply), yoga (mindful movement), and even a touch of EFT (tapping). Ultimately, it doesn't matter if it fits neatly into one category or another, as long as it effectively promotes relaxation and well-being for both body and mind. It certainly did for me, and I wanted to share this experience with you.
Wishing you a lovely day!
