SOMATIC THERAPY

 Is a somatic training methodology rooted on traditional yoga postures. It is a gentle movement practice based on the natural intelligence of the body. By being sensitivity to the sensations generated by the body, awareness can be recovered.  New neuromuscular pathways of integrity can be developed, through repetitive movements. This is a practice for anyone and everyone willing to feel deeply what is actually happening in the body, regardless of age, strength or flexibility. In feeling deeply, body, mind and spirit are recalibrated back to wholeness.

 A session consists of a set of repetitive movements that allow us to get back in touch with the language of the body. This language is expressed in the sensations generated in our bodies on each phase of the breath. We are in constant flow, to protect the vulnerability of our joints.  We inquire into softening the sensations as much as possible, so we can dive deep into the sensations generated by our bodies and internalise our awareness.  It is movement done with an effortless effort, with curiosity as to where we are at the present moment within our bodies.

BCST has its origins in the Osteopathic tradition. It is energy medicine that is deeply rooted in the inherent intelligence of life, a sacred medicine that supports the wholeness of life.  The therapy uses a gentle hand contact to feel the rhythms and pulsations of the forces organizing the body. It is a holding space of safety, compassion and deep listening. The therapy allows the body to relax deeply. The body  then can redirect itself from simple maintenance to repair and restoration. BCST restores your body by supporting the inherent self-regulation, self-correction and its own self healing ability. 

 A session starts with an inquiry into the sensations that are being felt in that moment, as we settle into our bodies. We practice learning to describe the felt sensations, we learn the language of the body. We establish a relational field of safety and empathy. Then we move to the massage table. Fully dressed and covered with blankets and supported by pillows. This allows for a comfortable position that supports the body and mind at rest.  We listen deeply in stillness to the intelligence of the body to guide us into the space where the support is needed.  We access the inherent treatment plan by attuning to the rhythms of the body in deep stillness.
