Jaclyn Explores Somatics episodes
- 28. Sensation is Your First Language
Sensation is our most primal language and yet most of us live fairly disembodied or with pain and discomfort that we'd rather do anything than feel. What if reconnecting to sensation could set you free? In this episode I explore:
- How sensation is our first language we learn as babies
- Ways we learn to ignore bodily sensation to abide by social norms
- How paying attention to our bodily sensations can help us understand what our body is trying to communicate
- What is interoceptive awareness, the association between interoceptive awareness and mental health, and how to improve it
- Why feeling into your hands is a great way to connect to sensation
- How your body can be your internal compass if you can truly feel sensations
- An evidence based intervention to connect with sensation, increase interoceptive awareness and improve your mental health

Want to feel more grounded, supported, calm, and safe? Listen to this somatic practice Dr. Albert Wong in which you'll invited think and feel into different figures in your life that are supportive and nurturing and safe places.

@jaclynexplains22 min - 25. Gender as Animal Practice with T.T. Kooken
This practice is called gender as animal, and it's a movement and reflection practice that is important for the sake of both embodied parenting and gender creative parenting. It can give you the potential to get more clarity and authorship over your own gendered experience, whatever gender you identify with. When you do this work, you move towards fuller authorship and expression of who you are.
