Have you ever hear about somatic diseases?
Somatic diseases are physical conditions influenced by emotional stress, often manifesting in the body as pain, fatigue, or other discomforts. When we neglect our emotional well-being, the body often signals this through various ailments.
That’s why it’s crucial to prioritize both mental and physical health, incorporating simple routines into our day that nurture a sense of balance and peace.
We believe in holistic wellness, where taking care of your emotional health is just as important as your skincare routine. Mind-body exercises are an excellent way to manage stress and improve your overall well-being. Here are some exercises you can easily incorporate into your daily routine, at home, to help soothe the effects of stress and somatic conditions:
Deep Breathing
One of the simplest, yet most effectives ways to calm your mind and body is through deep breathing. This exercise helps lower stress levels, eases tension, and improves oxygen flow, promoting overall relaxation.
How to do it:
● Sit or lie in a comfortable position.
● Close your eyes and take a slow, deep breath in through your nose.
● Hold for a moment, then slowly exhale through your mouth.
● Repeat this process for 5-10 minutes, focusing on each breath.
Gentle Stretching
When we’re stressed, we tend to carry tension in our muscles, especially around the neck, shoulders, and back. Gentle stretching helps release this tension and improves blood circulation, leaving you feeling refreshed.
How to do it:
● Stand or sit in a comfortable position.
● Stretch your arms overhead, reaching for the sky.
● Slowly tilt your head from side to side, releasing neck tension.
● Take deep breaths as you stretch, focusing on the areas that feel tight.
● Dedicate at least 10 minutes to these gentle stretches, adjusting as needed to what feels good for your body.

How to do it:
● Kneel on the floor, sit back on your heels, and stretch your arms out in front of you onthe ground.
● Rest your forehead on the floor and breathe deeply.
● Hold this position for 1-3 minutes, focusing on your breath and releasing any tension in your back and shoulders.
Visualization Meditation
Visualization is a powerful tool to help relieve stress and bring your body into a state of calm. By imagining a peaceful place or scene, you can reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
How to do it:
● Sit or lie down in a quiet, comfortable spot.
● Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a peaceful environment, such as a beach, forest, or your favorite quiet place.
● Focus on the details—what you see, hear, and feel.
● Stay in this visualization for 5-10 minutes, allowing yourself to fully relax.
