What Is Somatic Breathwork and How It Reconnects the Mind and Body
Do you ever feel disconnected, stressed, or stuck? It’s a common feeling, but there's a way to restore balance. Somatic Breathwork is a practice that uses your own breath to reconnect your mind with your body, creating a pathway to calm and clarity. With Angie’s Breathwork, you get to use the science-informed Soma+IQ™ Method to experience emotional release and nervous system regulation, helping you find peace from within.
What Is Somatic Breathwork?
Somatic Breathwork is a practice that intentionally uses the breath to connect with physical sensations and emotions. Many healing methods focus on thinking your way through problems, but Somatic Breathwork takes a different approach. It acknowledges that stress, anxiety, and trauma are often stored in the body as tension.
Instead of just talking or thinking about these feelings, this practice helps you feel and release them directly through guided breathing patterns. It’s an active process of somatic healing that lets your body’s wisdom lead the way, offering a profound sense of relief that mindset work alone often can't provide.
How It Reconnects the Mind and Body
Our bodies hold onto experiences, and unresolved emotions can manifest as tension, anxiety, or even chronic pain. Somatic Breathwork creates a direct line of communication between your mind and body, allowing this stored energy to be released. Through intentional, connected breathing, you can gently access and process these stored feelings in a safe and controlled way. This practice is a powerful tool for anyone seeking relief from breathwork for stress and anxiety.
This process helps you:
- Regulate the nervous system by shifting you out of a "fight-or-flight" state and into a calmer, more relaxed one.
- Increase awareness of your physical sensations and the emotions tied to them, helping you understand what your body is trying to tell you.
- Promote clarity and grounding by bringing your focus away from racing thoughts and into the present moment.
With gentle guidance in a session, you can safely explore these sensations and find release. I offer guided in-person groups or 1:1 sessions in the Quad Cities and via Zoom, making this healing practice accessible to everyone.
