Embodiment session is a guided experience that helps you connect with your body and become more aware of physical sensations, movement, posture, and emotions. It’s often used in:

• Somatic therapy

• Mindfulness & meditation

• Trauma healing

• Dance/movement therapy

• Personal growth or spiritual practices
  
  

The goal is to shift from being "in your head" to being present in your body, promoting awareness, groundedness, and emotional regulation.

What Happens in a Typical Session?

Embodiment sessions can vary depending on the style (e.g., somatic movement, yoga-based, therapeutic, expressive arts), but they often include:

1. Arrival / Grounding

  “What do I want to feel, explore, or release today?”
  
  

 2. Movement & Exploration

• Guided or intuitive movement (standing, sitting, or on the floor)

• Exploring emotions or themes through body language

• Feeling into tension, release, expansion, stillness
  “How does my body want to move with this feeling?”
  
  

3. Stillness / Reflection

• Resting posture (like savasana or seated meditation)

• Noticing sensations or shifts

• Journaling or sharing (if in a group)
