Healing with Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy


In a quiet room where shadows weave,


Amidst the whispers of a heart in need,


A gentle soul shines bright and clear,


Hakomi stands, to draw us near. 



With soft-spoken words, a soothing sound,


In this sacred space where healing is found,


The practitioner, wise as ancient trees,


Invites us to settle, to breathe, to ease. 



This journey of healing, a dance of the mind,


Where body and spirit in harmony bind,


In each tender moment, one learns to explore,


The feelings within, those waves on the shore. 



"Close your eyes," the teacher says with care,


"Feel the ground beneath, let go of despair. 


Inhale the peace, let the tension release,


Discover the stillness, let your heart find its peace. "



What lies in the core of our troubling pain? 


Secrets buried deep in a fog of disdain? 


Through layers of memory, we slowly delve,


Unpacking the stories we carry ourselves. 



The body remembers what the mind tries to hide,


Each ache and each tremor, a tale deep inside. 


Hakomi invites us, with warmth it implores,


To listen to threads that can open new doors. 



With mindfulness carved into each word,


We wander through paths where the truth can be heard,


“Notice the sensation,” the healer will guide,


“To understand what it means to abide. 



Soft hands reach out, with curiosity pure,


Inviting reflection, a chance to endure. 


In the dance of the body, the heart learns to sing,


As we uncover the burdens we cling to and bring. 



A memory flickers, a face from the past,


The laughter, the sorrow, in echoes amassed. 


With each revelation, each tear that may fall,


We reclaim our lost pieces, we gather them all. 



What stories we carry, what dreams we have missed,


As the layers of armor gently unclenched their fist. 


In finding our footing, we learn how to feel,


The wounds that we’ve nurtured, to finally heal. 



Here, in this safe place, truth whispers and sighs,


With each subtle motion, we learn, we arise. 


For Hakomi teaches, with tenderness bright,


To honor our shadows, to step into light. 



The dance of existence, a rhythm so grand,


In the tapestry woven by the heart and hand. 


Each breath is a blessing, each heartbeat a gift,


In the sacred communion, our spirits may lift. 



As we journey through parts of our past that still ache,


We find new resilience in every heartbreak. 


With compassion surrounding, we tenderly face


The fragments of self, finding love in their space. 



“Feel the sensations, the warmth or the chill,


What message do they bring? What wisdom fulfills? 


In the dance of the now, we learn to embrace,


The myriad feelings that flow through this space. 



The heart knows the way to navigate pain,


The body is guiding, like sunshine through rain. 


Through somatic awareness, we breathe and unfold,


New stories emerge in the warmth and the cold. 



With each gentle step, we cultivate trust,


In the path to reclaim what was covered in dust. 


Through the struggles and triumphs, we gather our voice,


Hakomi reminds us that healing’s a choice. 



As seasons will change, as the rivers will flow,


With the wisdom of life, we learn, we will grow. 


In the tender embrace of the heart’s deeper call,


We mend and we nurture, we rise from the fall. 



In circles of silence, the whispers remain,


The echoes of healing, the chance to sustain. 


There’s beauty in struggle, in learning to stand,


With Hakomi as guide, we find strength and command. 



With love as the lantern that lights up the way,


We explore our connection, our being today. 


In the stillness, we listen, in the movement, we sway,


To the timeless song of this life’s gentle play. 



As practitioners steady their loving embrace,


We journey together, we learn at our pace. 


Awareness unfolds, like petals to sun,


In the space of the heart, we are all truly one. 



The tapestry's woven, a myriad hue,


In the essence of healing, the old and the new. 


With gratitude spoken, as we stride through this land,


Hakomi, our healer, a friend close at hand. 



So let us remember, amidst joy and despair,


In the dance of our living, we’re learning to care. 


With each touch, each heartbeat, each mindful embrace,


We are weaving connections, and gentleness takes place. 



Through the layers of self, we explore and we find,


A symphony of healing, a balm for the mind. 


With love as our anchor, as hope fills our sails,


In the journey of healing, the heart never fails. 



In closing, dear wanderer, remember this truth:


The path to your healing resides in your youth. 


Embrace every moment, be gentle, be kind,


For the heart knows its way, when it’s free and aligned. 



So carry this knowledge, like stars in the night,


With the heart as your compass, you’ll always find light. 


In the dance of your being, let your spirit soar free,


For healing with Hakomi is healing for me. 



Across the expanse of the lives we will roam,


In the body’s soft messaging, we find our true home. 


A balm for our journey, a light from above,


Healing with Hakomi, a testament of love.
