Awareness: To have knowledge of, or to be conscious.
Coach: The root of which comes from the word coché. Coché comes from the concept of the tutor as one who carries the student through examinations.
Somatic Coaching uses an awareness of the body as a vehicle for changing the self.
- Interoception: Interoception is described by Manuela Mischke-Reeds as "the capacity to feel one’s present body through emotions, sensations, and different body states. Feelings and emotions are often understood as interchangeable. They are interconnected, but distinct. Emotions are lower level and sensory-based responses such as biochemical changes of the brain. Feelings begin in the Neo-cortical regions of the brain and are important for our memory consolidation. Emotions begin before our feelings. Emotions are primal, direct, and physical."
Dr Antonio Damasio calls feelings “mental experiences of body states which arise as the brain interprets emotions.”
- Proprioception: Proprioception is the awareness of your body and its movement through space. In other words, spacial awareness and coordination.
- Neuroception: The term "Neuroception" describes how neural circuits distinguish whether situations or people are safe, dangerous, or life threatening. "Neuroception explains why a baby coos at a caregiver but cries at a stranger, or why a toddler enjoys a parent's embrace but views a hug from a stranger as an assault."
The body has the power to create massive change in an instant— it's a matter of learning the right tools to assist it along the way.
Somatic Awareness is one of those tools.
Why
The world needs you to awaken… all of the potential energy held within your body, all of your (en)thusiasm, all of your deeper life purpose, and meaningful impact that’s at the core of who you are. During this mastermind you will learn our proprietary Somatic Awareness technique called SomaEase™. SomaEase™ is specifically designed to draw out your entheos nature, reconnecting you with your own inner wisdom, the wisdom of your body.
Awaken (En)theos is a three day Somatic Coaching experience.
All relationships in your life come back to a single relationship, the relationship you have with your Self. Through our research and exploration, we’ve discovered specific steps that you can take to strengthen the bonds of relationship in your life— with yourself, with others, with Life itself— creating a more enriching and harmonious experience of being alive. We call these the Roadmap to Intimacy™. Each of these must exist within you before they can be applied to others. See below for a break down of the five steps.
Awaken to:
Tolerance
The ability and willingness to meet What Is in your present moment experience.
Awaken to:
Acceptance
The practice of non-judgmentally (compassionately) witnessing all parts of your Self without attempting to change or protest them.
Awaken to:
Safety
An inner, felt-sense experience defined by the qualities of softening, opening, and an ability to express oneself.
Awaken to:
Vulnerability
The willingness to risk emotional exposure, to open oneself, to make visible the sensitive parts that could potentially be judged or rejected.
Awaken to:
Connection
The result of meeting your vulnerable parts with tenderness and compassion; to create a bond between all parts of your Self.
Awaken to:
Intimacy
The natural arising of feeling safe in vulnerability and connection with oneself.
"Intimacy requires a state in which touch and proximity do not trigger defense... Safety modulates our ability to develop secure attachments. Whether an individual feels safe with people during early development might modulate individual differences in vulnerability..." — Stephen Porges
