How to get from chaos to calm E
ver heard of SomaSensing? In a nutshell, it is a practice that guides you to tune into your felt sense through intuitive somatic movements that trigger the healing response of your Vagus nerve, through your senses, to calm distress. These signs of distress vary from individual to individual and may include chronic fatigue, chronic pain, anxiety, stress, inflammation, fibromyalgia, brain fog, gut issues, tinnitus, heart palpitations, hormone imbalances, or the effects of an autoimmune response and even ‘Long Covid’. Yasmin Lambat, a registered somatic educator, trauma therapist and
founder of SomaSensing, is offering an eight-week course, starting on 20 February, which will guide you on how to heal yourself through your felt sense and restore your inner rhythm and sense of wellbeing. “Getting to know yourself through the state of your nervous system allows you to quieten your inner critic,” says Yasmin. “Helping you to become a compassionate observer and to approach life with a sense of curiosity instead of anxiety.” She adds that the course is not a ‘quick fix’ but a way to kick start the process of taking your healing into your own hands. “To get real and
long-lasting benefits you need to make a habit of it, but this eightweek SomaSensing guide will help you get started.” Yasmin explains that, apart from connecting you to your body's innate ability to heal, SomaSensing practices help you to interrupt habitual patterns shaped by trauma. “Just by becoming aware of your patterns you can interrupt them when you’re on autopilot – giving you an opportunity to self-regulate and expand your capacity to cope when life throws you off centre.” On this course you will explore how
