FREE GUIDE TO MIND-BODY AWARENESS

The Somatic Journal: a guide to mind-body awareness

Unlike traditional journaling, which focuses primarily on thoughts and feelings, a somatic journal encourages you to tune into your body's wisdom. It invites you to notice and record physical sensations, tensions, and energy patterns, and to explore how these relate to your mental and emotional states.

By engaging in somatic journaling, you're embarking on a journey to understand how your physical sensations relate to your thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being.

This guide will help you:

  • Develop greater body awareness

  • Identify and release stored tensions or emotions

  • Understand the physical manifestations of stress or anxiety

  • Cultivate a deeper sense of presence and mindfulness

  • Enhance your overall emotional intelligence and self-understanding

I’ll walk you through the process of creating and maintaining your own somatic journal, starting with an initial deep exploration phase, followed by a daily routine, and concluding with a collection of bonus prompts for ongoing practice.
