“Your somatic self is your body self. And it is through your body self that your sensory experience resonates. Each unfolding moment strikes a sensory chord that vibrates throughout your entire body, giving rise to your felt sense of being alive. The sensations you feel carry with them information about your experience of the present moment—your sense of self, your sense of others, your sense of your surroundings. Further, sensations activate feelings, thoughts, and beliefs that inform your perceptions and behaviors…These sensations, like all others, are vital to your ability to navigate your life and relationships. They are integral to understanding your feelings, thoughts, and behavior patterns.”
