Coming into Sensation


Introduction to Coming into Sensation for therapy (individual, couples, and group)

Somatic sensations are physical experiences arising from our nervous systems through our muscles, joints, skin, viscera, and our bodies as a whole.  Sensations are messages from the body.  We can develop awareness by paying close and sustained attention to our sensory experiences without  judging them.  Once we are able to pay attention, we listen, hear, and trust these messages.  We can rely on them for insights about ourselves, for guidance  in making wise choices,  and in caring for ourselves. In our relationships, we can empathize with others more effectively as we imagine what someone else is feeling without judgment.
