Fluid Movement, A Shift in Consciousness, and Trauma Healing

Broadcast on June 06, 2023
With Manuela Mischke-Reeds, MFT
Hosted by Dr. Martha Eddy, RSMT

How do we shift our most challenging emotional experiences and physiological trauma responses? We have innate somatic intelligence resting in our soma — and through fluid movement, we can access this wisdom. Yet, we are not taught how to access or trust this deep knowledge from our moving bodies. Learning to heal from within is a birthright, and movement is a powerful teacher... we just have to learn to trust it. Strong emotions and trauma responses can impact our nervous system, but also the perception of how we view our body from the outside in. By engaging in subtle motions that invite the soma to communicate, our emotions lose the solidity of meaning and a consciousness arises that connects us with life itself. Manuela Mischke-Reeds weaves 30 years of clinical experience and practice in somatic trauma therapy practice, Hakomi therapy, and Continuum movement into understanding the body as a fluid consciousness.

In this session, you’ll discover:

  • The body is movement — we don't do movement to heal, we become it 
  • Fluid movement is the antidote to trauma states 
  • Emotions are inherently fluid, but our mind solidifies meaning
The views expressed are specific to the author/speaker and may vary from the perspectives of The Shift Network's participants, staff, or other speakers.
