Your Body Tells Your Story

Emotional trauma lives in the autonomic memory of the body. It’s a painful paradox because the exact response that protected us from harm is also keeping us stuck.

That’s why a person can meditate for a decade and hardly change because the practice is reduced to a mental process.

Profound awareness is in our bodies not heads, hence why the emotional pain becomes imprinted in the body and body’s intelligence is often untapped resource in psychotherapy.

The story is told by the somatic narrative; posture, gesture, eye gaze, movement and the way we hold our presence is arguably more significant than the story told by words.

The language of the body communicates implicit meanings and reveals the legacy of early childhood trauma and early dynamics with caregivers. Your biography becomes your biology.

The body is the unconscious and the simplest ways to access deep emotions and distortions is through movement practices as movement invites the unconscious to release whatever lies within. The primary goal of the physical movement is to apply body intervention. Yoga, Tai Chi, dance are just a few examples of many more practices that has the capacity to heal the body and raise awareness to shift the consciousness.

“In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past.”
