Somatic Life Training Can Get You Moving Forward!

Somatic Life Training helps you in the same areas as Life Coaching:

~ Goal Setting
~ Strengths-Based Positivity
~ Problem Solving
~ Motivating
~ Organising and Planning

BUT Somatic Life Training helps in a much more powerful way.  The key  word is “Somatic”.

Somatic means "in the body". In Somatic Life Training we work with "the mind in the body". This might sound weird at first, but it's actually so normal it's in popular language. We talk about "gut feelings", "heaviness in the heart", "feeling empty", "feeling like dancing", and when we see a friend with slumped posture or upright and alert we know what kind of mood to expect. All of these bodily energies we talk about every day are called "felt senses" and they carry meaning and knowing as well as emotion.

Somatic Life Training uses a process called "Focusing" developed by Eugene Gendlin in the 1960s to help people access this felt sensed meaning and .knowing

You may have made a great list of pros and cons for a big decision about a job or a house or a relationship, but those lists often leave us back where we started, still wondering what is "right". Somatic Life Training asks you "How do the pros and cons feel in your body?" This opens up a deeper and more powerful level of the mind, where we discover our true sense of rightness, our inner compass for moving forward.

Guided in this way by Somatic Life Training we learn that our truest knowing about life situations, people and relationships comes first in these bodily felt senses, rather than words. When we open to these felt senses, the words come too, and we realise we are discovering the deepest knowings we have about our life.

Often people seek this kind of help when they feel they are at a turning point in life, or they feel stuck. At such life moments, Somatic Life Training "seeds" your inner knowing with 3 main questions, that we ask in a completely open way:

~  Who do you want to be?
~  What to you want to do?
~  Who do you want to be and do with?

We use these questions to open out our largest senses of inner knowing of our direction forward. The answers that come are often surprising, but at the same time feel right, like they were always there waiting to be discovered.

With this intuitive, felt, inner knowledge, we make choices and decisions without doubt, because the way forward is not just a best guess in our head, it is deeply felt as right. This is the power of working with the wisdom of our bodily knowing. You can learn to do this with Somatic Life Training.
