About Soma: From Form to Feeling
In modern Greek, soma refers to the body as structure—physical, visible, anatomical.
​
In ancient philosophy, it was seen as the container of the soul—or psyche. In some schools of thought, the body was even viewed as a prison for the soul:
| “The body is a tomb.” — Plato (σῶμα σῆμα)
​
In somatic practice, soma is not just the body you have—it’s the body you are: the breathing, sensing, feeling body that holds memory, emotion, and presence.
​
SomaSensory Journeys invites you to live from the inside out—moment by moment, breath by breath.
Why Soma Matters
Understanding soma allows us to approach ourselves and others in a fully relational way. It’s not just about posture, movement, or technique—it’s about the experience of being in a living, sensing body that can connect, receive, and respond.
​
Through awareness of soma, we can:
-
Deepen connection with ourselves and others
-
Access emotions and memories held in the body
-
Move with presence, attunement, and clarity
-
Live more fully, from the inside out
Soma in Practice
Every interaction in SomaSensory Journeys—whether a session, guided journey, or online reflection—is designed to honor the living, sensing body. By focusing on soma, we create a space where connection, understanding, and presence can emerge naturally, moment by moment.
