These are the same Somatic Practices that start at 12:55 in Role of the Vagus Nerve. These simple practices can help to bring our system out of prolonged shutdown and back into our social engagement branch of our nervous system. This is where all healing takes place.
My mic wasn't working in this class. Most of this class is now in Class 7.
Class includes deep front, back, side body, and rotations. Movements should be getting more clear. We are resetting our sensory and motor nervous system.
These movement practices are important to do in a sequence. Our body grips and contracts in involuntary ways, often sequential. Start slow. Feel what's happening so our brain and body reconnect.
In this video I define what somatics are and what we mean by trauma. Understanding what these words and concepts mean is important. This is part of our foundational education for our healing journey.
HEAL is changing! Movement Medicine classes work with chronic pain and auto immune challenges through a body-mind approach. Chronic challenges have their roots in nervous system dysfunction. In 2024, we'll work with pain and dysfunction through nervous system healing and practices and education.
These are stabilization techniques. These practices help our body know where it is in space and time. When our bodies experience enough physical safety (it doesn't have to be perfect) our nervous systems can reset. Our systems are meant to up-regulate and down-regulate. We are creating resiliency and resources. Other practices listed: Movement, Touch, Breath and Nervous System Capacity.
