Daily Somatic Exercises

Somatic exercises are slow, intentional, mindful movements that focus on your body’s internal sensations and experiences, rather than an external results or goals.

The core principle is to increase inner awareness, the mind-body connection and to reprogram the brain’s control over muscles, ultimately releasing tension, improving posture and flexibility, and enhancing overall well-being.

• Place your palm over your chest.
• Ask inwardly: “Where in my body is the most stillness right now?”
• Place your awareness there for six breaths

This teaches you to anchor into calm that already exists within your own field.

• One conscious breath through the nose, feeling it expand in the chest, and
• One soft exhale through the mouth
• Silently say: “I am here now”

This micro-alignment restores presence in under 10 seconds and interrupts scattered thought.

• Sip water slowly, imagining it as light entering your body
This simple visualisation refreshes both hydration and energetic flow.
It also builds a subtle habit of blessing what you consume.

• Count to four before speaking or acting
This gap is where choice lives, allowing your actions to be guided by resonance rather than reaction.

• Pause and look up at the open sky for 30 seconds (not the sun)
• Let your breath match the sky’s openness
Expanding your visual field this way helps dissolve tension and recalibrate your nervous system.

• Touch the ground or a natural surface nearby, feel its solidity echo into your body
This brings you instantly into connection with the physical world and resets your sense of belonging.

• Before leaving a space, pause and exhale softly through the mouth
• Imagine leaving the space clear and neutral
This creates clean energetic endings and prevents lingering attachments.

• Hum softly and feel the vibration in your chest and throat
This tunes your body to its own resonance and can soothe anxiety or restlessness in under a minute.

• Look around and silently name the colour of three things you see
This engages sensory awareness and shifts the mind out of looping thoughts into present observation.

• Think of one thing you are grateful for right now — it can be something as simple as a good cup of tea

This turns your field toward coherence in seconds.

• Let your eyes relax and take in your entire peripheral vision, not just the centre

This “soft gaze” mimics how animals rest while staying aware and calms overstimulation.
