What is Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI)?
Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI) is the other half of NSA Care.

SRI: Somato Respiratory Integration

 Our body is our one and only vehicle, our home, while we are alive.  Although this is true I often find that people take it for granted and actually spend more time and money with the care of their other vehicle, their car. My experience is that the better we know how to care for our bodies by learning their language (and it does talk to us in the form of gurgles, gut reactions and symptoms), the better we are able to direct our lives with increased ease. Think about it, if we all started to heed the subtle warnings that our bodies give us (tiredness, slight aches and pains, oncoming colds etc) then we may avoid the physical crisis’ that come from our denial, avoidance or busyness. As Donald Epstein so often says while teaching SRI seminars,

 

“Either master the language of the body or become a victim of it.” D. Epstein

 The choice is yours.

 

WHAT IS SRI?

 

SRI, somato respiratory integration, is a tool that helps people to develop increased body awareness. This increased awareness helps them to better understand their body’s messages. They can then hear their body’s whispers which allows them more choice about how to increase their level of wellness and ease…….within their body as well as their lives.

 

 Learning this tool also increases the effectiveness of your NSA (Network Spinal Analysis) entrainments. Practicing SRI will enhance and accelerate your ability to progress through NSA levels of care, from connect and release in Level 1 to refine and transform in Level 2 and finally, Level 3 with awaken and expand. Both NSA and SRI are the most exciting and effective tools for increased wellness/transformation that I know of. You must come and learn more!

 

Because our soma represents the body with all of its past history reflected in present state, all we need to do is bring greater awareness and acceptance to our present state in order to heal through our past.

 

There are 12 different stages, or exercises, included in SRI and once learned, they can be practiced at home. With the use of your own hands, breath, awareness, movement and specific declarations you can bring yourself from disconnection to connection and from distress to ease. From the place of connection and ease your whole world looks different.

 

HOW DO YOU LEARN IT?

 

As with any new language practice is essential. Learning the language of your body is no exception. We recommend that you schedule 2 fascilitated  SRI sessions in the first week and then 1x week for 4 weeks at which time you and the SRI fascilitator will revaluate your needs. Your commitment to practicing at home and to keeping your appointments is the key to your ongoing mastery.

 

NSA and SRI are wonderful complements to each other and utilizing them both increases your strategies for greater wellness and transformation
