Somatics, Catholicism & Tantra - A Big Picture Inquiry

The Uplifted Yoga Podcast

When did we get disconnected from the body? Today I want to explore the historical context of body-based spirituality. We'll contrast traditional yoga's focus on enlightenment with somatic yoga's emphasis on healing and grounding. We'll analyze how Catholicism and Tantra might be viewed as more embodied spiritual practices, compared to Protestantism and The 8 Limbs of yoga. Let's nerd out on the significance of engaging the five senses in the healing process, the need for safe spaces in somatic practices, and the future potential of somatic work in personal healing and coaching.

Listen and learn:

🔹The cultural disconnection from the body and its historical roots.

🔹What Catholic Sacramental Theology and Tantric Philosophy have in common.

🔹How to leverage these ideas in your own healing process.
