BEYOND THE MIND
THE BODY
AS LIVING INTELLIGENCE
Pranasomatics works with the evolutionary intelligence of the body.
As a living map of awareness, memory, and potential.
We approach awakening not as an escape from the body,
but as its deepest fulfillment.
Your body is not a passive vessel.
Pranasomatics integrates:
Nervous system science
(Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing)Trauma-informed embodiment
IFS & Parts Work (Richard Schwartz)
Felt Sense & Focusing (Gendlin)
Chakra psychology & energy mapping
Kundalinī as evolutionary energy
It is a multidimensional field of memory, instinct, awareness, and transformation.
Every contraction, sensation, and breath holds encoded intelligence.
This is where trauma is stored.
And this is also where awakening begins.
• Discover where pain lives in
your body — and how it speaks
• Repattern your system through
movement, voice, and regulation
• Witness and integrate inner parts
and stories
• Reclaim your instinct, your
softness, your sovereignty
From Mapping to Liberation
Our framework is based on five overlapping domains of human experience:
Emotion, Intelligence, Sapience, Consciousness, and Sentience.
These five layers — visualized through a Venn model —
reveal how different forms of knowing (rational, instinctive, embodied, intuitive)
weave together in real transformation.
SCIENTIFIC ROOTS OF OUR METHODLESS METHOD
WE INTRODUCE:
THE PRANASOMATIC MAP
For Newcomers
You don’t need to be a scientist
or a spiritual adept.
You just need to have a body —
and be willing to listen.
VENN MODEL OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE
INTELLIGENCE
“Mental functions for abstract processing
and application”
• Key Concepts: creativity, planning,
analysis, problem solving
• Pranasomatic Tools:
• Energetic Mapping (chakra-based insight)
• Trauma Mapping & Pattern Tracking
• Parts Work & Archetypal Inquiry
• Symbolic Integration
(e.g. shadow figures, mythic lens)
CONSCIOUSNESS
“The knowing field of awareness and being”
• Key Concepts: awareness, sensation,
thought, self-awareness
• Pranasomatic Tools:
• Ajna Gaze Practice (third eye /
panoramic perception)
• Guided Visualizations
(e.g. Shakti journeys)
• Presence Tracking
(inner & outer awareness)
• Non-Dual Inquiry (Who is aware?)
SAPIENCE
“Wisdom through lived experience and
inner reflection”
• Key Concepts: insight, judgment,
common sense
• Pranasomatic Tools:
• Soul Narrative (family origin,
dharma path)
• Storytelling & Symbolic Expression
• Rewilding & Mythic Embodiment
• Circle Work (mirroring,
collective rituals)
EMOTION
“Felt responses that shape our identity and behavior”
• Key Concepts: feeling,
instinctive, reactive, intuitive
• Pranasomatic Tools:

roaring, toning)
• Somatic Sound Journeys
(heart vocalization, mantra)
• Emotion Mapping
(e.g. grief body, anger alchemy)
• Embodied Shadow Practice
(ritual & group release)
SENTIENCE (Center Point)
“Embodied self-awareness —
where feeling meets knowing”
• Tools across domains:
• Breath & Body Mapping
(root to crown)
• Nervous System Literacy
(polyvagal model)
• Daily Ritual Practices
(food, sleep, rhythm)
• Inner Child Dialog +
Pleasure Reclamation

Pranasomatics is a
living synthesis of
ancient wisdom and modern science.
Pranasomatics Stands on the
Shoulders of Giants
Our work draws from a wide range of groundbreaking thinkers,
somatic pioneers, neuroscientists, mystics, and psychologists.
Their research, presence, and teachings have deeply shaped
how we understand the body, mind, trauma, and consciousness.
We honor these teachers as the invisible scaffolding of our field.
