Here is what I experience, feel and think about psychosomatic integration:

The word psycho comes from the greek language, referring to soul. The word soma refers to body.
This to me shows beautifully how psychosomatic work facilitates the manifestation and clarifying of the soul as an embodied entity that chose to incarnate into a human form.

The more we walk this path of psychosomatic integration, the more clear this can become and feel.

Instead of using psychedelic substances for example, one can have psychedelic experiences by simply becoming deeper embodied as a soul. The world and experiences can feel more rich and visceral. The connectivity of all things can feel more evident, life can become more synchronistic (synchronicities become more visible) and one can feel more guided and supported by the Universe (God, the Divine..)

This is of course one aspect of a large spectrum. There are other elements, too:

Psychosomatic sessions also facilitate the cultivation of deeper internal connection.

In sessions we sit with and give attention to the parts in yourself that you struggle being with by yourself. Those are usually parts that want to run, feel overwhelmed, parts that want to do nothing or just feel seen, parts that feel frozen and so on.

We often experience distress with ourselves, life and others when there are parts of us that we are not tending to. Once we practice getting acquainted to those abandoned parts inside of us, we can see their deeper meaning. They all carry a message and have a need and the reason why these parts are running the show is because we have not extracted the wisdom that they hold.

As we continue practicing and learning to meet the deep and different parts of our psyche, we gently can experience deeper and broader layers of awareness and compassion.

As we drop in instead of running away, energy tends to be freed up in our system. This in turn can open new doors. Creativity might flow more freely, ideas and solutions can come in surprising ways and we might feel more at ease and home in ourselves.

This work has the potential to integrate inner wounds and bring about a more embodied experience of presence and inner compassion.

It also often leads to getting into contact with the inner child as well as the inner baby.

I’d like to say that this work does not magically make all our problems disappear (of course not 😌). It does however give us a deeper sense of internal resources and creativity to meet the world with.
