Defined as your body experienced from within, by Thomas Hanna.
The word soma is a description of the flow of the sensations that occur within all of us.
The somatic viewpoint comes from your experience of yourself-the acting, sensing being. And this experience is a sensory-motor event.
Sensing and moving are intertwined and cannot be separated, however, what we do not sense, we cannot move and what we cannot move, we cannot sense.
If you learn how to use your brain's motor cortex more efficiently and achieve voluntary sensory-motor control...
then you will experience the freedom in movement and sensing you always thought and knew is possible for yourself.
Thanks Ed - ... great news - I've been doing a lot of cross country skiing here in Minnesota where the weather is cold and clear and the snow sparkly and dry. And my stride and balance are light years ahead of where they were last year at this time! Not to mention my stamina - it's all pretty effortless and most of all, great fun!
Thanks for your good work (and I do practice everyday.....) Cheers, Yvonne
Dear Ed,
I have been meaning to write you this for a long time. I have not returned to you for more work because for all practical purposes, my back no longer bothers me. I cannot tell you how grateful I have been toward you over these last few months as I began to realize how much better I am. Within a month of working with your exercises I was markedly better, and after six months as I began picking up the exercises on a regular basis, I considered myself virtually cured.
I have to say that when I read Hanna's book and the testimonials from Somatics people about how miraculous it seemed, I was skeptical. They seemed frankly ditzy. But now I are one!
It really, really works.
So I have wanted to express my thanks for a long time. I am enormously grateful to you. All the best,L. Daloz Clinton
Hey There, Merry Christmas.
Just wanted to let you know ... while making a transfer of a patient who unfortunately died in my arms ... I was caught in a very narrow space and we were stuck for 5-7 minutes. Had to call 911 for assistance. Since I was using all of my muscles to hold up the patient, I didn't have any room to step back and the paramedic had to pry me off of the patient.
Immediately afterwards I felt a burning in the muscles of my chest... eventually I went to Urgent Care. The PA recommended I take off the next couple of days and recommended I do not do any exercise, but use the muscle relaxant and pain medication. He wanted to let the muscles rest.
Well I didn't listen to him and just before bed I looked for some of my saved recordings of your classes. I found the one that was for the Core. That seemed to ease the burning in my chest. By the next morning almost all of the chest muscle burning was gone. I was very excited that I did not need to take any drugs for this and of course I know Somatics work, this episode was just a huge confirmation!!! Thanks Ed. D. Elliot., RN, Port Orchard, WA
Thanks Ed. I'm having a bit of a hard time keeping up with the somatics classes - mostly for a good reason though, my back has been doing a lot better and I've started dancing again! Anya. Victoria, B.C.
Hi Ed.
I am another of your success stories--after the 4 hour class on June 28th. On July 2nd I was on a plane to Alaska, and a 12 day whirlwind trip around Anchorage and the Kenai Penninsula by car.
I was pain free and full of energy--while I kept doing my 3 favorite back movements!
I called the neurosurgeon and canceled a scheduled back surgery on my return home!
At my last two chiropractic appointments, no adjustment was needed! Thank for you continued help. Marilu, Everett, WA
