When you learn a new movement the first attempts are usually an approximation of the complete movement. As you practice it more you will gradually hone this until you can do it easily and without forcing movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember also that to get the benefit from Somatics you need to practice regularly, at least daily. Try to make it a part of your daily routine, either when you get up in the morning which sets your muscles for the day ahead, or just before you go to bed which helps the brain to remember the relaxed muscle state. Even better if you have time is to do it twice a day which speeds up results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using audios and videos is a great way to get started with Somatics movements, but following slavishly to an audio can restrict how you respond to the movements. So it’s a good idea to start off using the audios until you have mastered the movements themselves, and what you should be looking for or sensing as you do the movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But as soon as you you have done this it’s a good idea to dispense with the audio or video so that you can go more slowly, or more quickly, focus on specific aspects of the movement, do more or less repetitions and really start to sense and feel the muscles that you are pandiculating.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column]\n\t\t\t[\/et_pb_row]\n\t\t[\/et_pb_section]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
