Guest blogger and Integration Training Associate Anthony Davies (pictured left coaching) on somatic coaching:
Somatic Coaching is a progressive form of coaching that produces genuine transformation for individuals and groups. Through the process you can benefit by: –
– Creating a greater centred presence
– Learning to replace outdated habits with positive practices
– Experiencing a greater sense of aliveness throughout your body
– Enabling yourself to take action more effectively in the world
Four top tips that emerge from Somatic Coaching: –
1. Make sure you get clear about what you are declaring for the future you are creating. Envision the end in mind.
2. Ease and dissolve ‘banding’ or ‘armouring’ in the body. Typically these are areas of built-up tension. You can release these through somatic movement, regular hands on Somatic Bodywork, and ideally both.
3. Commit to doing daily physiological practices, with intention. Richard Strozzi-Heckler is known for writing “until it is in the muscle knowledge is just a rumour.” You can literally change yourself through your body, and you change your life.
4. Yes, and breathe deeper!
