Through our body we experience every day. Only a part of the stimuli that affect our system in every minute of our life gets into our consciousness (information from the environment - sound, light, tactile, olfactory, perceptions from our internal organs, etc.). And it's good, otherwise we would be overwhelmed. Our system protects us from being overwhelmed by selecting information that comes to our consciousness. On the other hand, during life we often unconsciously limit our physical perception. Also emphasis is often placed on cognitive experience and less on physical. However, this question is very complex, there are many variables in somatic experiencing. For example, traumatic experiences, when our system protects us from physical, psychological pain, can reduce certain sensitivity etc.

​

The body remembers everything we experience in our lives, how we treat each other and what we carry through trans-generational transmission. If we learn to pay attention to the body and the sensations in it, through various tools such as movement, touch, breathing techniques, craniosacral biodynamics, dance therapy, body work, body psychotherapy, etc., we can deepen our conscious contact with it and learn what makes us and our body feel good and what does not, what movement, position brings us relief or is more effective for us. Through these techniques, we can also get to the repressed emotions in our body and release them, to the awareness of our behavior patterns, etc.

​

Through the experience in our physical body, the nervous system learns much better that there are other, new ways. Then it has the opportunity to return to them thanks to the experience. As children, we learned to perceive the world more with our senses and "through the body". Let's return to this perception, and thus to ourselves.
