How-to experience the Somatic Imprint passed on to you from your ancestors

To truly feel into and understand your Somatic Imprint in-depth, you need to go through the process with a somatic coach specializing in Transformational Coaching. To get you started, here is a powerful guided meditation to help you feel your ancestral line and its impact on you.

Close your eyes and go on this internal deep journey.

Before you get started, write down your name and the names of your mother, father, and grandparents (as shown in the drawing below). Visualize this image as you move through to the guided somatic practice.

It’s impossible to record audio that will fit every family structure possible, especially with how complex blended families are these days. So in case you have 3 parents, gay parents, biological and non-biological parents, or any other family structure, simply adjust the plan on paper as needed. You can listen to any part – female or male, over and over, and imagine the person you wish to feel into their life. Simply sit with this wisdom and feel into them.

A lot of information can come to you as you start to feel your Somatic Imprint. No information actually means a lot of information. For example, you might not be able to feel any of the men in the somatic lineage. Not feeling any of them tells us a lot about what happened before us even if we can’t explain it or know exactly what took place. The echo is felt.

Warning: This exercise can trigger you and normally requires time to integrate the information that surfaces. Allow your body the time it needs to process. You can also go numb in this exercise. That’s OK too. It’s all part of the process. 

Don’t forget to write down your insights in your journal afterward.
