Ep 173: Connecting with your Soma (you're the only one who can).

Hello friends, and welcome to episode 173 of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that's me!). In this episode we're kicking off a 4-part series all about Somatic Exercise: what is it and how and what does it help? In this first episode we're diving deep into uncovering what the 'Soma' in Somatic refers to. It's not the dictionary definition, so give Google a miss on this one! We also talk about the 'how-to' of somatic exercise - Pandiculation - and what it is we're actually attempting to change in the process.You'll hear:> What is your soma and why are you the only one who can ever experience it?> What it means to be the expert of your body> How embodying your soma can invite you to embrace your humanity and own your experience> What pandiculation actually is and how it can help us move beyond tension-embedding patterns.Tune in for the full episode and share your thoughts with me over on Instagram or via my website.
