    • In this video, teacher Éfu Nyaki, from the advanced training in Somatic Experiencing®, guides two simple and profound self-regulation touches: The self-hug, which welcomes and softens life's excesses. The integration touch, which calms and reorganizes the lived experience. Practices like these not only relieve tension, but strengthen our resilience and help us build health from the inside out. A tribute to the body and its capacity to restore itself with time, presence, and touch. Watch, try it out, and share this pause with someone you love.
