Basic Somatic Exercises

A worksheet of five somatic exercises for releasing tension and reconnecting with your body — the body scan, belly breathing, the psoas release, shoulder rolls, and the somatic shake. Every one of them explains what it changes and why, and there is room to write down what your body did, so you can find out which ones work on you.

It also covers why the body holds what it holds, and ends with a page for what happened afterwards — whether something loosened, or whether you noticed yourself tighten. Both are information.

For the times when talking yourself calm is not working.

Fillable on your computer, or print it and write by hand.
