Somatic dreamwork is an approach to dream analysis and interpretation that emphasizes the integration of the physical body and bodily sensations into the exploration of dreams. It recognizes that dreams are not only products of the mind but also expressions of bodily experiences, emotions, and energies. This approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of mind and body and the role of the body in processing and expressing unconscious material revealed in dreams.Susan Ackerman Joseph is a lifetime dreamer, a certified somatic practitioner, a trained psychotherapist, and a multi-media artist. Her album is called “Songs of Dreams” and is available on CCMixter, iTunes, bandcamp and other platforms.Susan's Website Our deepest wisdom is sensation based: fluttering in the belly, a heavy heart, an open heart, the sensation of electricity running through the veins.  Through sensation, we renegotiate the boundary between receptivity and resistance. Through sensation, we activate our inner resources and mobilize transformation.  There are many names for this way of knowing: inner voice, inner wisdom, intuition, gut feeling, inner truth, felt sense.  In other dreamy news...Catch Amina LIVE on the radio on the Dream Journal podcast with host Katherine Bell from Experiential Dreamwork talking about some of her favorite dream-related topics.

Explore the inner fabric of yourself and start to pay attention to your breathing.  People typically use breathwork to improve aspects of their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Breathwork is a Central Nervous System regulator and health optimizer. We use various breathing techniques to either up-regulate or down-regulate the CNS. It's incredibly effective at assisting those suffering with stress or anxiety. Conversely, the breath is used to create optimal physical conditions for performance and recovery.  Sam Johnson is here telling me about how breathwork changed his life around, and how anyone can get started exploring this space. Breathwork can be healing and it can also be a means of exploring consciousness beyond the physical body.  In other dreamy news...Click here to donate & support my dream to attend the IASD Conference 2024!Learn to lucid dream with our online coaching Sam's LinksMonthly Online Breathwork SessionSams InstagramEmbers Breath Support the showFollow The Dream World PodcastVisit Our WebsiteInstagram @TheDreamWorldPodcastTik Tok @aminasdreamworldSpotifyFacebookLucid Dreaming Online Course

I am willing to bet money that he does.  In this episode, Eric Spirko and I talk about practicing skills in your dreams and enhancing athletic performance in waking life using lucid dream training (LDT).
