What are Somatic Energetics sessions?
Somatic Energetics sessions are groups sessions, generally of 10-20 people, being worked on in the same room by Michael McBride.
McBride passes through the room, applying light touch and energetic healing work. Every client get a deep experience of the direct work that is applied, as well as a meditative like expereince to integrate the energetic and physical changes that happen during the process.
When you experience the work, you are drawn into your own waves of transformation. This creates physical and energetic changes in and around your own body. As your nervous system becomes more clear and sensitive, it acquires a special resonance. Many practitioners are drawn to learn this method as a result of their own personal experiences with Somatic Energetics. The energetic openings, emotional releases and transformational effects of the sessions bring you up to a level of self healing that can be further trained, so that you can share it with others.

Receiving the work and the process of learning Somatic Energetics is a personal journey. It is a flexible method of observing, recognizing the opportunities for positive change that present themselves, then adding gentle input to the nervous system and flexibly following the predictable reactions that unfold. The Somatic Energetic method is offered as a basic course to begin the process of clearing the pathways of the nervous system, not as a fixed rule set or limiting technique. It is an open door with many possibilities with very few rules. It is a very large room with many windows of opportunity.
Many students come to the trainings not so much to become practitioners but to seek deeper understanding about their own patterns and to accelerate or deepen their own inner processes. The learning flows naturally and people find their own paths as it should be for themselves.

The method is learnable and teachable. There is a need to do hands on and practice much like learning a musical instrument. The speed of your progress from student to master practitioner is directly proportional to your ability to practice and opportunities you have to apply the methods that you are exposed to in the workshop.

“I have been receiving Somatic Energetics from McBride for about a year. I have seen a great improvement in my rheumatoid arthritis pain and I need less pain medication. I also need fewer chiropractic adjustments, going from two visits per week to a few per month. I was so impressed with McBride and his work I also took his class to learn more about the work and be able to help others. I am a licensed massage therapist with 18 years of experience and am also a reiki master and I have never seen anything be so powerful with very little discomfort for the patient. It is difficult to put into words the emotional and mental shifts that also occur with this work but they do happen and I am very grateful to have experienced it.”
