Stored Tension

where stress is held, release physical tension, and help your
body return to greater ease.

Nervous System

Daily Practice
Simple, accessible exercises and guided routines help you
bring somatic practice into everyday life without special
equipment or previous experience.
Use the body as a gateway
to the nervous system.
Somatic practices cultivate awareness of physical sensations
through movement, meditation, and breathwork. By learning to
notice your body’s signals, you can recognize tension, stress,
and overwhelm and respond with greater awareness.
The book focuses primarily on bottom-up regulation—using
physical sensations and movement to influence mental and
emotional states, especially when stress or strong emotions
make conscious thought more difficult.

Sometimes change begins
with the body.
