Selfless Lotus Sacred Movement & Healing offers a unique and potent blend of movement practices, meditation experiences and hands-on therapies that cultivate personal transformation through different forms of somatic education. 

THE SOMATIC PRINCIPLE

Somatic practices use your internal awareness - through proprioception, kinesthetic awareness, etc., - to bring unknown parts of yourself and your experience into the known. Somatic learning makes the unconscious conscious and in the process leaves you with more options for moving, acting, thinking and living. It maximizes your full human potential, not just your physical body. 

Proprioception – is the sense of self-movement and body position, sometimes described as the “sixth sense”

Kinesthetic – relating to a persons awareness of the position and movement of the parts of the body by means of sensory organs (proprioceptors) in the muscles and joints.

“Somatics is the field that studies the soma: namely the body as perceived from within by first-person perception. When a human being is observed from the outside – i.e., from a third-person viewpoint – the phenomenon of a human body is perceived. But, when the same body is observed from the first person viewpoint of their own proprioceptive senses, a categorically different phenomenon is perceived: the human soma.”
