SESSIONS GUIDE
Prior to a somatic session, it CAN BE beneficial to engage in a preparation routine to optimize YOUR experience. It is recommended that YOU allocate around 15 minutes before the session to engage in activities that promote relaxation and openness. Finding a calm and comfortable space, free from distractions, can greatly enhance the effectiveness of the session. Creating a soothing environment IN WHATEVER WAY FEELS BEST FOR YOU CAN ALLOW YOUR UNCONSCIOUS MIND TO RELAX DEEPLY. YOU CAN DO ANY OF THE CORE PRACTICES THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO YOU IN YOUR RESOURCE DOCUMENT OR TakE a few deep breaths and engaging in gentle MOVEMNET exercises can help release tension and prepare the body for the somatic work ahead. Additionally, journaling or engaging in reflective writing can be a helpful way to set intentions AND EXPLORE YOUR INNER WORLD PRIOR TO STARTING. By taking these proactive steps, YOU can maximize the benefits of thE session and create an optimal space for healing and growth.
