Somatic means body. To use the titles of two popular books on the subject to make my point: as the body keeps the score and when the body says ‘no’, we usually aren’t in balance and if the ‘no’ is ignored long enough, we usually wind up with a health issue of some sort. What happened to us, or the result of what didn’t happen to us, can be held in an energetic form trapped in our cellular structures within our body and the energy fields associated with the body. We are a little bit physical, but we are much more a series of interacting energy fields. Addressing the unresolved energy trapped in our body’s fields allows us to access closer and closer the True Essence or Higher Self or Inner Wisdom that we all are at our core. So learning to listen to our body, especially our heart can greatly improve our health as we are closer to our inner wisdom and True Essence.

If you resonate with my work and you need compassionate witness or a Somatic Counsellor to sit with you in presence, book in a Free 30 minute Discovery Call (anywhere in the world excluding USA- sorry, it is a business insurance issue.) at www.johadley.online. I would love to be a catalyst for your accessing your own inner wisdom and soul.
