Somatic Resonance course

I spent years distilling somatic meditation practice so that you could find stillness from it in months.

I took what I learned from Yoga, Vajrayana, somatic meditation, shamanic work, Focusing, and embodiment practices — through play and practice, I winnowed it down to a few vital moves that just work.

Some of what’s in the course includes:

• Taking Practice Off the Cushion: In Somatic Resonance, time on the meditation cushion is important, but it’s time for exploration and topping up awareness. The real practice is going out into the world, bringing somatic awareness to everything you do.

• Two Ways a Body-Scan Feels: a short exercise about transforming our awareness of the body. You move away from being a head with a body under you to simply being a body.

• Grounded View: We take a view of somatic resonance as one pathway to finding authenticity, grounded intellect, and the voice of the soul. It’s a way to open into more vivid engagement with the world, not to transcend it.

• Inhibitory and Excitatory Practice: Most meditative practice centers on inhibition — calming down, breathing deep, lowering your energy into stillness. What’s usually neglected is energy-raising practices, like ecstatic dance or shamanic shaking. For Somatic Resonance, we return again and again to both possibilities.

The course is hosted in Notion, and has a choose-your-own-path structure. The goal is not only to help you build somatic resonance skills, but to build the meta-skill of developing your own taste and intuition for what your body-mind responds to best.
