As a Body Centered Psychotherapist I have used these tools in my office for years. Often my clients were unable to sustain practice of somatic resourcing activities on their own. Somatice Resourcing 1 & 2 provides you with a guided tool to practice these exercises in your daily life.
Somatice Resourcing 1 & 2 can be helpful even if you are not in psychotherapy. You can use them for developing your Self awareness and for taking a self soothing break duing your day.

Somatic Resourcing 1
Mindfulness & Support Activities
Somatic Resourcing 1 provides you support in your daily life to remember and stay connected to who you really are, to fully be present in your life, to take a break from the chaos in daily life and stay grounded in yourself. If you are just beginning, Mindfulness - Simple, allows you to focus on one aspect of your awareness at a
time. Mindfulness - Integrative, allows you to begin tracking how physical sensations, emotions and thinking patterns are interacting. Support in a Chair can be helpful if you do not feel supported in your life and if you just enjoy taking a relaxing break in your day.
Somatic Resourcing 2
Grounding Activities
Somatic Resourcing 2 provides you with a guided tool for practicing your grounding exercises in your daily life. Somatic grounding exercises give you a “felt sense” of grounding, instead of using imagination or grounding
energetically. This offers you an opportunity to explore what being grounded in your body feels like, and gives you an opportunity to compare what you experience when you are ungrounded. If you are just beginning, Sitting Grounding - Simple allows you to focus on basic changes. Sitting grounding - Integrative allows you to notice changes in sensations, emotions and thinking patterns, how your thinking effects your emotions and body, how your emotions may effect your thinking and body, and how your body can effect you thinking and emotions. Standing Grounding gives you more self awareness of your grounding when standing and in motion. Doing Mindfulness first and then Grounding exercises gives you an opportunity to get a baseline of what you are experiencing and then notice any changes in your physical, emotional, and cognitive signals after grounding. Your tracking skills allows you to receive full benefit from your grounding exercises.
