8.0 Somatic Capacity (Master Cycle)

Somatic Capacity (8) is your ability to treat the body as an ally rather than an obstacle. It integrates four competencies — sustainable energy management, somatic attunement, emotional–physical vitality, and recovery & decompression — into one Embodied Vitality Cycle. Instead of pushing through or disconnecting, you learn to notice your energy state, name and locate signals, inquire into what your body needs, choose one adaptive micro-action, and complete the arc with expression, reflection, and gratitude. Over time, symptoms and sensations become signals that guide wise action, helping you listen, regulate, activate, and restore.
