A somatic movement is a movement that’s practiced consciously & slowly, with the intention of focusing on the internal experience of the movement rather than the external appearance or the end result of the movement.

Technically any movement can be somatic if you focus your attention on what you’re feeling in your body as you move.

Forget about what you look like while you’re moving, and don’t think about the end result of your movement. If you just focus your attention, completely on what you’re feeling in your body as you’re moving, then the movement is somatic.

It’s helpful to close your eyes when you’re practicing any type of somatic movement-take away all the visual information that your brain would have to automatically process if your eyes were open. When your eyes are closed, you can focus completely on your internal sensations. Another quality of somatic movement is that it’s exploratory. Come explore the power of slow somatic movement.
