somatic interest studies and practices
"Somatics" or "Somatic Studies" for the field of knowledge thus derived, and "Somatic Practices" for its practical applications. Somatic practices include psychotherapy, education, awareness, movement, and hands-on techniques of bodywork ... The somatic interest arose at that time, because it grew more and more clear that the body is a key to a more authentic reality. Authenticity is a function of embodiment.
