SENTIDO SOMATICO

Somatic Sense is the maturation of my own personal pilgrimage. What I have learned and experienced over the last 18 years in search of methodologies, knowledge, experiences that would allow me to live healthy physically, mentally and emotionally. Above all, I had an immense desire to find/understand what gave meaning to my life.

Now the time has come to share with you and other women who are in that search, which I could even say is a spiritual calling. What for me involved many years for you can be a quantum leap, shortening times, getting out of that feeling that you are not moving forward no matter what you do. I will tell you a key piece is:

Involving the body in therapeutic processes is fundamental.

Our human experience does or does not involve the body and everything we live does or does not also happen through the body whether we notice it or not.

My approaches to being in life have mostly been from the body; First as a contemporary dancer, it was obvious to me that it was a way to connect my body, my mind, my spirit. Unfortunately, in “professional dance” other more superficial aspects are more important. (But that is another story that I will tell you another day).

When I was 18, I immersed myself in Tibetan Buddhist practices as well as in their psychology and philosophy, this was transforming my vision of life in many aspects, including the powerful relationship with my mind-body. A level of love and compassion was revealed to me from within that I could not expect life to continue the same.

A couple of years later I began my first Yoga training. These first two years were a great start to reconcile with my body and to weave that understanding that before was pure intuition. From that moment on, my body became my territory of exploration, my raw material to understand myself, get to know myself and heal the feeling of being “broken.” It has been a path with infinite landscapes, slow climbs and rapid falls. Dying and being reborn many times.

I recognize myself as a sensitive woman, which often made my life experience very intense. I constantly had to face my own emotional tides. The more I have learned to be in my body, the more available I am to feel what I need to feel without so much resistance.

From there, my curious mind has not stopped learning all kinds of things, from flower therapy, bioenergetics, NLP, other types of yoga, different meditative approaches, Yogic Psychology and Karam Kriya, Craniosacral Therapy, Neuroscience and Trauma, Somatic Therapy informed by Trauma, and a few other things in between. I have traveled the world to meet Spiritual Masters, Shamans. Although I am grateful to have had access to all these trainings and experiences, I could say that everything is much simpler.

So I began to weave this space in the intimacy of my Being, of my home (wherever we are) To unite that which science and spirituality share beyond names.

Everything began to make SENSE for me, the Soma body had its own sense and thus SOMATIC SENSE was born, as something alive that leads me to question my own paradigms, to put the important thing in the center, to look where we often deny ourselves.

SENSE also refers to FEELING, but what is this human experience about but about feeling what life is all about. And also about life having a SENSE, a north, that we live lives with Sense and Meaning. Where we also give back its place to the body, which allows us to experience the Precious Human Life in all its nuances.

Thank you for taking the time to read me.

I just want to share a couple of questions, let them accompany you beyond wanting to answer from immediacy.

• What kind of relationship do you have with your body?
• What gives meaning to your life?

Tell me, I'd love to read you.
