Somatic Therapy - Working through Being Stuck
2025-01-12 15:00 - 16:00 UTC | R3 Wellness, 5410 Hwy 55, Suite M, Durham, NC, 27713, United States
Feeling stuck is a common human experience. It can show up as mental fog, emotional overwhelm, physical tension, or a sense of being unable to move forward despite your best efforts. Whether it’s a lingering feeling of inertia or a deeper sense of being trapped in patterns that no longer serve you, somatic therapy offers a powerful pathway for breaking free.
Here’s how it works:
Bringing Awareness to the Body
Often, we’re so focused on fixing our external problems that we overlook what’s happening inside. Somatic therapy invites you to slow down and tune in to physical sensations. Where do you feel tightness, heaviness, or discomfort? This mindful body awareness helps identify where tension or unprocessed emotions may be held.
Regulating the Nervous System
Feeling stuck is often a sign that the nervous system is dysregulated, stuck in a state of overwhelm (fight or flight) or shutdown (freeze). Somatic therapy uses techniques such as grounding, breathwork, and gentle movement to help calm the nervous system and create a sense of safety. This regulation is key to unlocking stored energy and moving forward.
Releasing Physical Tension
The body often holds on to unresolved stress in the form of chronic tension or patterns of contraction. Somatic therapy may involve small, mindful movements, stretching, or even somatic touch (when appropriate and within the therapist’s scope) to release these patterns.
Exploring Emotions Through the Body
Emotions are not just in the mind—they live in the body as sensations. Somatic therapy helps you explore emotions like fear, anger, or sadness by feeling them in your body, rather than suppressing or overthinking them. This process can lead to emotional breakthroughs and a sense of relief.
Restoring Flow and Vitality
Stuckness often involves a sense of stagnation—whether physical, emotional, or energetic. Somatic therapy promotes a return to flow by reconnecting you with your body’s natural rhythms. This may include practices such as shaking, rhythmic movement, or guided visualization to stimulate the release of blocked energy.

Let Go with Crystal Allies
There are moments when the body whispers, “It’s time.”
Time to unclench, exhale, and hand back what you’ve been carrying.
This session is a soft landing for release.
We’ll move through a gentle, music-led breathwork journey, breathing surrounded by incredibly supportive crystals, so your system can loosen what’s heavy and return to steadiness and space inside.
We’ll open with a brief share from Jeff Jenkins, co-owner of R3 Wellness and an expert in the healing power of crystals. He’ll talk about how to choose a stone that supports your intentions.
Think of the crystals as steady companions: helping you ground, soften the mind’s grip, and keep what’s true while the rest dissolves.
Letting go is invited, not forced. Breathe, be supported, be present.
Arrive as you are. Leave clear and light.

What Makes This Session Special
Crystal-supported space. We’ll be breathing surrounded by incredibly supportive crystals—held inside a serene crystal oasis. Jeff from R3 will offer a brief, practical share on how to choose a stone, set intention, and work with it through the breath for grounding, clearing, and gentle release.

Reclaim Your Rhythm: An Ides of March Sound Bath
2026-03-15 16:30 - 18:00 UTC | R3 Wellness, 5410 Hwy 55, Suite M, Durham, NC, 27713, United States
As the earth thaws and the tides of the season turn, give your nervous system the reset it deserves. Join us for an immersive Sound Healing Journey designed to wash away the ‘winter rust’ and tune your frequency to the vibrant energy of spring. Using a sacred blend of singing bowls, grounding, and flowing rain sticks, we will guide you out of the ‘fight or flight’ of daily life and into a state of deep, cellular restoration. Whether you are looking to clear emotional blockages or simply find a moment of profound stillness, this session offers a sanctuary for your spirit to expand. Come lay your burdens on the Earth, let the sound move through you like Water, and emerge with your Energy fully renewed. Space is limited—reserve your space today.
Sunday March 15th at 4:30p. We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone arriving after 4;45p to avoid disruption to the event.
To help you fully sink into the experience and stay grounded during our transition into Spring energy, we recommend bringing the following:

A Yoga Mat or Cushion: Your “Earth” foundation. You’ll be lying down for about 60 minutes, so choose something that offers good support.
A Cozy Blanket & Socks: Even in a warm room, your body temperature often drops during deep relaxation. Staying warm allows your Energy to flow without restriction.
A Water Bottle: To stay aligned with our Water pillar, we recommend hydrating before and after the session to help your cells integrate the high-frequency vibrations.
An Eye Mask or Small Scarf: Blocking out visual stimuli helps the brain shift more quickly into Alpha and Theta brainwave states (the “dream-like” healing states).
A Journal & Pen: You may experience “downloads” or creative shifts during the sound bath; having a place to capture these Ides of March intentions is vital.
A Personal Crystal: If you have a piece of Selenite or Citrine, feel free to bring it to be “cleared” and “charged” by the sound frequencies or pick up some new ones while you are here.
