Happy Satiated Saturday! In my early 20's, I used to get panic attacks. It's part of what led me to explore meditation to be able to befriend my body and make more space to sit with what is. One of the very first suggestions I received to navigate panic attacks was to describe my environment. It was my first experience of a somatic concept called pendulation, where you acknowledge what is happening in your body and then create distance between yourself and the intense sensation and attend to something externally. This practice of describing my environment has stuck with me and something I offer to those I work with as well. When things feel like too much, you can zoom out and land your body in the safety of this exact second. In this week’s episode, I chat with Stephanie Scarminach, Somatic Intuitive Healer, about what somatic work is, how we learn from our environment to disembody, what supports with coming back into the body, very slowly, so you can start to cultivate more connection and trust within yourself. You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode  here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/what-is-somatic-healingIf this is work you're curious about diving into, I wanted to let you know that I currently have openings in my private practice.
