Abstract
If you look outside, you shall see people walking around. How many of them are carrying their body with respect, honouring who they are? How many look crouched, tensed or fearful? Some people may seem to be hooked up, locked in bodily patterns of holding in, of hiding—of not daring to be themselves. How can we free more life? How can we go deeper? For me, the process of going inside and finding shared spaces is one possible and exciting way to do so. In the process of body-hypnotherapy, when you come back into your body, you also find that you are not alone. Finding magic, hope and future. Coming into the flesh is awakening the soul, the mother of pearls.
So, there is a series of stories that are waiting to be told. These are stories that are woven into touch, and as you are touched by accepting hands, the story rubs into you, deeper. They tickle your body when you feel the words, when you imagine the pictures. They sit here, now, as you are reading—and wondering what will be YOUR story. Tissues can hear, you know. And as they listen, you also listen carefully with your body. This is somatic storytelling; and it makes sense.
