Somatic Therapy for Christians: Is It New Age or Is It Genesis?

Is somatic therapy biblical — or is it New Age? In this episode, Elisha — a licensed counselor, author, and follower of Christ — walks through what somatic therapy actually is, what it isn't, and what Scripture says about the body you've been told to distrust. If you've ever been warned that breathwork, nervous system regulation, or body-based healing conflicts with your faith, this conversation is for you. You'll learn the clinical science behind somatic therapy, the biblical theology of the body, and a guided somatic practice — the Body Check Prayer — that integrates nervous system awareness with prayer. This isn't visualization. This is physiology — redeemed.Resources: R.E.S.T. Framework Guide → Download Guide Counseling inquiries → Book Initial Consultation
