    Mejor cita de What Is Somatics? Body Wisdom Explained

    “

    Somatics is the study of the body as perceived from within, shifting the focus from how we look to others to how we actually inhabit our own internal experience. It is based on the revolutionary insight that our bodies are not machines to be fixed, but living systems with an inherent wisdom and a natural capacity for self-correction and healing.
