Spontaneous somatic processing

Noticing emotional tension or discomfort? Free yourself up! (4-minute modeled practice).

Here are some steps to trying this:

1. Notice your discomfort. (I noticed mine after doing a bunch of communication - including making an ask of someone - on my phone).
   

2. Find a private place or friendly co-conspirators (single-stall bathroom, office, closet, bedroom - somewhere where you can make a little noise and move around without feeling unduly self-conscious).
   

3. Move! Follow your instincts - your body was made to process e-motion (energy in motion). Try breathing in through your nose and sigh out through your mouth.

   1. Feeling stuck? Try doing what I do in this video. I don’t always hop around in place like this, it’s just what I needed in the moment.
      

4. Pause. Feel. You might place your hands on the “hottest” (most sensational) location in your body.
   

5. Breathe and experiment. Now try breathing in and out through your nose. Is anything moving? if not, breathe and notice another 5 or 10 breaths.

6. Endeavor to trust the process - whether this was super helpful or not, trust that it’s good for you, and that practices like this help restore your wellbeing.
