Somatic Practice with Tauz Tamupovi
Host: Tauz Tamupovi
Info: Somatic Archaeology is the practice of learning to listen to your body in an instinctual, primitive way, hearing what the body is asking for and reconciling. The body is holding stories, trauma, gifts and when we learn to listen in this unique, but basic way we can give the body what it is asking for. We can offer reconciliation, forgiveness, tears, anger and healing even if the story is that of a family member still living on this earth plane or an ancestor who has passed long ago.
Why do this sort of healing? It is the possibility for me to know that we could heal a history of patterns that plague our families, our communities, our world. That we could heal chronic, systemic conditions that would allow us to breathe deeper and live more fully in the present.
