41: Somatic Healing Explained: Body Wisdom and Emotional Release

Guest episode with Dirish Shaktidas on body wisdom, nervous system regulation, and the healing power of movement.We break down what somatic healing really means beyond the buzzword, and why building a deeper relationship with the body can be such a powerful part of healing, self-awareness, and transformation.We also talk about what it means to listen to the body, how to recognise when it is holding tension or reacting before you have had time to think, and why movement can help us access and shift what words alone do not always reach.This conversation also opens up a beautiful discussion around discernment, nervous system regulation, intuition, self-expression, and the importance of feeling safe in the body.You’ll hear:• what somatic healing is • how to start listening to your body with more awareness • why the body can hold patterns, tension, and emotional residue • how movement can support healing, release, and regulation • the difference between reacting and responding • why safe facilitation matters in somatic spaces • Dirish’s personal story and how he found his way into this workWhether somatic work is completely new to you, or something you have been curious about for a while, this episode is a beautiful place to begin.Connect with Dirish and explore more of his work here:Website: www.dirish.com Instagram: @dirish_shaktidas LinkedIn: Dirish Shaktidas You can also find him at @dirish_shaktidas across platforms.Local to Leicestershire?
