Creative Breakthrough—LIFTOFF

Over the past 6 weeks, working with [Petra], I have been engaging with somatic experiencing: feeling and hearing rather than dictating my reactions, allowing my body to participate in, even to direct, my choices. I really
recommend this as a way forward if you're stuck in mind or body. Nothing works for everyone, and most practices work in
combination - this is a tool l'm so happy to add to my collection. At a basic level, the somatic work has reconnected me to my experience of the fight, flight, freeze responses. I have fresh understanding of my own reactions. There is so much to this work. It's brought enormous clarity to my needs and desires at a time of great change and uncertainty. It's eased my daily experience of life, revealed and explained the quality of my relationships - with acquaintances old and new. It's given me new perspectives on others' behaviour, helped me to connect with my little boy and to be alive to his connection and ways of communicating. It's wrought tiny benefits to my day that have made huge changes to my life. It's filtered the distortion of my thoughts into clear sound. Somatic experiencing work is new to me, and I won't be putting it to one side. The pairing of body and mind have never been clearer to me. I'll ignore the former again at my peril.

If you are in a new mental space - where you have time and interest in exploring your physical and mental status and connection, especially regarding singing - then I highly recommend this program. Petra Borzynski is really special in her understanding of singers and our mental states.
