"The body is our doorway to greater wisdom, compassion, and growing a presence that is trustworthy and life-affirming," says Staci K. Haines, an innovator in the Somatics field for over 30 years.
Staci believes that Somatics addresses our deep human yearning for wholeness, connection, and belonging by guiding us back to our bodies. This embodied transformation is not just a concept but a practical approach that helps us reconnect with our purpose and navigate life’s complexities. Through Somatics, we can relearn essential practices like setting boundaries, embracing contradictions, and enhancing our capacity to love and be loved, especially in the wake of trauma or societal conditioning.
She is the author of The Politics of Trauma: Somatics, Healing and Social Justice and Healing Sex: A Mind-Body Approach to Healing Sexual Trauma.
In this episode, Staci and neurobiology expert Rajkumari Neogy explore the evolution of Somatics, why it is so powerful, especially in today's world, and practical ways to deepen your connection with your body that can transform how you approach life and work.
