Somatic Movement Practice With Music

In this practice you will move intuitively, listening to your body and expressing how it wants to move. There is no right or wrong way to move. This practice helps to relieve stress, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with your body.

There are four songs, along with vocal prompts and plenty of space for your exploration. Have a blanket and pillow nearby, as the last song is for relaxing and integrating.

Transcript

Welcome. In this movement practice, I invite you to use movement to release stress, Calm your nervous system, And reconnect with your body. There will be four songs, And I will give you some prompts, But there will be plenty of room for your own exploration. If you are able to be on your hands and knees, You can explore the full range of movement available in your spine, But you're welcome to practice lying down or seated if you prefer. You may wish to have a pillow or a blanket nearby for relaxation at the end. I invite you to keep your eyes closed for the entire practice to allow you to connect with your body more deeply. Let's begin now. Starting to move however your body wants to move. There's no right or wrong way. Just move intuitively, In whatever way your body needs right now. Moving in response to however you feel right now. If you feel an emotion, Move with that emotion. Keeping your eyes closed, Feel into any areas of tightness, And explore how you can move tension out of these areas. Releasing and letting go. Try moving in new ways. If you normally move fast, Try moving slow. If you normally move smoothly, Try some angular or jerky or shaking movements. Just changing up the way you're moving for this next song. Making your movements smaller and smaller until your body becomes still. And take some time to relax and integrate. Feeling the ground beneath you. Visualize the outline of your body. Notice how your body feels after this practice. Any feelings of release? In your body or in your mind? Start to wiggle your fingers and your toes. Take a moment to honor yourself for showing up today and doing this practice. And when you're ready, Open your eyes. Thank you so much for being here. Namaste.
