Somatic Sound - 11 Days Of Music For The Nervous System

Your body knows things your mind hasn’t caught up with yet. The tension that lives in your shoulders long after the stressful meeting has ended. The tightness in your chest that arrived before you had words for what you were feeling. The numbness that settles in when too much has happened for too long. The aliveness that returns — slowly, quietly — when the nervous system finally receives what it has been asking for. This course works directly with the body through sound. The science behind this approach is established and growing. The vagus nerve — the body’s primary regulatory pathway — responds directly to auditory stimulation. Polyvagal theory, developed by neuroscientist Stephen Porges, identifies prosodic sound as one of the primary safety signals the nervous system uses to assess its environment. Sound is not simply pleasant. For the nervous system it is informational — and the right sound, received by a body that has been prepared to receive it, produces measurable regulatory effects. Across eleven days, each session combines a brief teaching on somatic psychology — the science of how experience is stored and released in the body — with a short body awareness practice and an original music track composed specifically for that day’s somatic focus. The music is the primary therapeutic instrument. The teaching simply prepares the body to receive it. No prior experience required. No meditation background needed. No effort. Simply a willingness to listen — not just with your ears but with your whole body. Created by a psychologist and hypnotherapist with seventeen years of experience working with the nervous system, somatic approaches to healing, and the evidence base for sound as a somatic regulatory support. Eleven days. Eleven aspects of nervous system experience. One complete somatic sound journey.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
