Somatic Muscle Release
®️
Rafael Hakim is a body therapist and creator of Somatic Muscle Release®, a methodology that integrates body, emotion, and energy in a profound transformation process. His work stems from the union of different therapeutic traditions, such as Reichian Orgonotherapy, Bioenergetics, and Traditional Chinese Medicine , organized into his own structured and applicable method.
Based on the understanding that the body holds experiences, tensions, and patterns throughout life, she developed an approach that allows access to and release of the bodily armoring that limits the natural flow of energy, expression, and presence.
More than a technique, its methodology offers a direct path to reconnecting the body to its state of vitality and consciousness. Learn more and join the more than 1000 graduates.
The 7 Segments of the Armor
Understand how the body stores trauma and emotions at different levels, and how Somatic Muscle Release® works on each segment to promote holistic transformation.
1. Ocular Segment
Contact with the world and perception of reality. It stores fear of seeing and being seen. When blocked, it limits a clear vision of life and opportunities. Releasing this segment restores genuine contact with the world and the ability to see clearly.
2. Segment
Oral
Anger, frustration, and primal impulses. Contains blocked expression and unmet needs. When released, it allows one to speak the truth with authenticity and strength.
3. Segment
Cervical
Energy flow between head and body. Bridge between thought and action. Connects intellect with emotion and allows wisdom to flow freely.
4. Segment
Thoracic
Identity, emotional expression, and the capacity to love. The center of feeling. When open, it allows one to love and be loved with fullness and vulnerability.
5. Segment
Diagrammatic
Emotional restraint and breathing. Separation between emotion and action. A critical point of energy blockage that, when released, restores deep breathing and vitality.
6. Segment
Abdominal
Sexuality, primal impulses, and personal power. Center of the will. When released, it restores strength, confidence, and connection to sacred sexuality.
7. Segment
Pelvic
Support and connection to reality. Foundation of the structure. Basis for all transformation. When released, it allows one to be fully present and grounded in life.
