Response
The “Go Response” (Green Light Reflex)The extensors of the back body that propel us forward, are what we call the muscles of the green light reflex. When this back body chain gets tight from chronic over-activation, the lower back becomes excessively arched.
Response
The “Startle Response” (Red Light Reflex) This reflex is when the muscles of the front body, that bend us forward (the flexors), are chronically tightened over time. It is also known as the startle response as it is associated with chronic unresolved fear and anxiety.
Response
The “Cringe Response” (Trauma Reflex)This reflex is initiated when there is a trauma to the side of the body, such as a fall, an accident or an operation. The muscles of the side body contract and go into protection mode, and in time they become painful.

“What began as a practice to eliminate chronic pain has evolved into a practice that enables me to know myself more deeply. The slow, gentle movements have led me into hidden corners within my body and soul, and enlivened them. I have grown stronger and more centered and become more open to the possibilities that arise in my life. Not only did I learn how to come out of physical pain, I have also developed my capacity for compassion toward myself and others.”
“In Living Somatics I found a pathway to better self-sensing, well-being, and conscious living. When I met Gayatri and Siddhartha, little did I know how much my life would change. Not only did somatics give me relief from pains and previous traumas, but it also gave me a new meaning in life and a strong desire to dedicate myself to sharing this work with others so they can discover the same benefits for themselves.”
