The Power of Somatic Healing - Releasing Trauma Stored in the Body
Here’s something you won’t hear in your average yoga class:
Your tight shoulders might not be from your laptop.
They might be holding years of unprocessed emotion, stress, or even inherited trauma.
Welcome to the world of somatic healing—where we stop trying to think our way out of pain and start feeling our way through it. This is the heart of the work we do at Jax, where trauma-informed healing, Kundalini energy activation, and somatic therapy come together to support deep transformation that actually sticks.
Let’s explore why the body holds the key to healing—and how you can start unlocking it.
Why the Body Remembers What the Mind Forgets
It’s easy to believe we’ve “moved on” from something because we’ve talked about it, analysed it, or tucked it away in a neat little folder labelled “the past.” But trauma doesn’t live in tidy folders. It lives in the body.
You might experience this as:
A racing heart when you feel criticised
A frozen response when someone raises their voice
Chronic fatigue, gut issues, tightness in the jaw or chest
The deep feeling that something is “off,” but you can’t explain why
This is the body’s way of saying: “Hey, we never finished processing that.”
Somatic healing invites you back into the body to gently complete those cycles. Through breath, sound, movement, and stillness, you begin to discharge the stored survival stress—without needing to relive the story.
Combined with Kundalini energy, which awakens the body's natural healing intelligence, this process becomes even more powerful. For many of our clients, this is when they begin to feel alive again. It’s not about fixing yourself—it’s about returning to the body’s wisdom and remembering who you were before the world taught you to disconnect.
What Is Somatic Healing, Really?
Somatic healing isn’t a “woo-woo” trend. It’s rooted in neuroscience, trauma theory, and ancient wisdom traditions. It means working with the nervous system, not just the mind, to restore balance and coherence.
At Jax, we weave somatic therapy with:
Kundalini energy activation
Breathwork and movement therapy
Energy healing techniques
Emotional and spiritual healing practices
And a seriously well-held space, whether online or at our Bali retreat centre
When someone asks me “what is Kundalini energy?”—I usually respond with something like, “Imagine your life force energy had been sleeping in the basement for years… and now she’s dancing barefoot in the garden.” It’s a reawakening. And when it’s trauma-informed, it’s safe, integrated, and embodied.
We don't just host a pretty Bali yoga retreat—we offer transformational, somatically led healing experiences where you’re not just looked after, you’re understood.
This is especially important when you're carrying grief, trauma, anxiety, or a lifetime of coping strategies that have worn thin. Whether you’re joining a healing retreat in Bali or booking a kundalini meditation retreat, we work with the whole of you—your body, your pain, your power.
From Suppressed to Expressed – How We Actually Let Go
You can’t release what you’re still bracing against.
At Jax, we help you soften. That might look like trembling, crying, belly laughter, shaking, deep sighs, or simply lying still as your nervous system resets. These are not signs of “losing control”—they’re signs of healing. They’re what it looks like when your body feels safe enough to stop holding it all in.
Grief is a big one here. Most of us weren’t taught how to grieve, let alone feel safe doing so in a group. But in our spiritual healing retreats, kundalini activation sessions, and online offerings, we create space for grief to move and speak. This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about real, long-term healing.
Whether you’re healing from burnout, heartbreak, anxiety, or ancestral pain, somatic energy healing supports the release of what’s no longer serving you—without retraumatising you in the process.
Because let’s be honest: you’re not here to cope forever. You’re here to live. Fully. Freely. Unapologetically.
So… Is It Time to Get Back into Your Body?
If you're tired of only scratching the surface, if talk therapy helped but didn’t quite reach there—somatic healing might be your next step.
At Jax, we’re proud to offer:
Trauma-informed Kundalini transformation
Somatic, nervous-system-led energy healing therapy
Supportive and skilled facilitators
Safe and sacred Bali healing retreats (that actually do the work)
Whether you’re coming for a mental health retreat in Bali, booking an online session, or simply curious about how spiritual healing can meet you exactly where you are—this work will change you. Not by forcing it. But by letting you be real.
