Finally…someone teaches how to "get out of your head."
"As someone who has had the pleasure of participating in Dr. Luke Sniewski's 12-week online program, I have looked forward to the publication of Somawise. His ability to weave personal experiences with the latest research in neuroscience and trauma has been a tremendous help in breaking down my own barriers to a more peaceful (and healthy) existence."
For all bodies curious about direct truth and sustainable transformation
"I looked forward to the time I'd set aside each day to read Somawise. The writing strikes a beautiful balance between being relatable on a human-to-human level, and referencing relevant literature. More importantly, Dr. Luke's own experiential insight and vulnerability shine through on every page."
Excellent Read
"Luke's writing is engaging and accessible. He simplifies complex issues and science to make them applicable to our lives and shares his own story authentically and vulnerably. He brings new insights to practices such as meditation, by taking the body's perspective, which greatly impacted my own practice. Highly recommended."
The most useful book on your bookshelf
"This book created a profound shift in me…at the core, the essence. It is going to be the most valuable book on my shelf for both personal and professional uses.

A book that is more like a guide for self-discovery

Accessible, Informative, and – well – true

Feeling is Healing
"'Once we provide the body with what it needs to heal and thrive, the mind becomes our powerful ally, friend and helper.' This is not about reading a book. This is about discovering your essence and experiencing new possibilities. Healing is a journey. One step at a time."
