Somatic Ideation in Boise
Created by Matthew, Somatic Ideation is ‘body-storming’, using movement and awareness as resources for creative thinking and decision making.
When we make decisions it’s easy to ‘get in our heads’ and become anxious. While much of our contemporary understanding of thought revolves around how our brains function, we are also coming to understand that the brain does not work separately from our bodies. The HeartMath institute has done excellent research into how even our organs affect our thought processes. Have you ever had the experience of exercising your body and having ideas come to you? Perhaps a decision you were waffling on became clear? No problem can be solved by the same level of consciousness that created it—so in turn we enter the consciousness of the body for new solutions. Bringing embodied mindfulness to the ideative process can literally get you out of your head and put you in touch with your intrinsic embodied intelligence.
