What is Somatic Activated Healing™?
The Somatic Activated Healing (SAH) Method™ is a modern, spiritual, and research-based approach to Processing life’s challenges and resolving trauma.
This revolutionary wellness practice, created by Sah D’Simone, combines the healing modalities of somatic movement, rhythmic breath, vocal release, and dynamic meditation — powerful tools to carry you through your past pain, present healing, and future hardships.
The SAH Method™ connects us to a kinetic language that awakens, energizes, and amplifies the power in the four most essential qualities of our spiritual hearts: the warmth of compassion, the open-heartedness of love, the ecstasy of joy, and the equanimity of wisdom.
You do not need to revisit your trauma to heal from it.
Our painful memories have hardwired feelings attached to them.
Traditional therapeutic healing methods use a top-down approach, in which thought and intellect are the entry point to resolve your feelings. Unfortunately, this often requires mentally revisiting traumatic or painful experiences.
Somatic Activated Healing™ utilizes a bottom-up approach, in which the body and sensation are an entry point for healing. It addresses the emotions within us rather than the specific thoughts or memories connected to them.
This process boosts both your physical and mental health, allowing you to connect more readily with your heart, which is where true liberation lives.
In the SAH Method™, you’ll learn to “drop the story and be with the feeling” — allowing you to call forth, move through, process, and release stored emotions in a safe space without re-engaging with the story behind those feelings.
By removing the emotional charge of the story, you strip the traumatic memories of their power… and transfer that power to YOU!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We are builders of resilience. Where there is dysregulation, the SAH Method™ helps you regulate.
When our nervous system is regulated, we can soften from survival mode into a healing, receptive state.
The somatic movements help you call forth the unprocessed feelings stored in your body and move through them healthfully and intentionally.
The breathwork brings you back into your body, roots you in the present, and gives you the energy and inspiration to practice the moves.
The dynamic meditation practice helps you develop the concentration necessary to be in your body and engage with your feelings — without being distracted by the stories that come with them.
And the affirmations are a way for you to bring about, orient yourself to, and reinforce a new inner vocabulary and mindset.
The SAH Method™ helps you heal your emotional body and change your relationship with your mind, dramatically and positively affecting how you view and interact with the world around you. These are the keys to a happier, more resilient life — rooted in freedom rather than fear and calm rather than chaos.
This practice is less of a traditional class and more of an intimate, live prayer-formance, movement art experience in which your combined efforts make you, at once, both the artist and the creation itself.
