What if your body could become an instrument for healing energy?

In this fascinating conversation, Taylor Bratches, founder of Somatic Channeling, discusses a phenomenon that more and more people around the world are beginning to experience -  involuntary, intelligent movement of the body driven by energy.  

Taylor describes how somatic channeling emerged spontaneously during a psychedelic experience and later became a refined energy-healing modality practiced completely sober. Today he teaches people how to access this ability to clear energetic blockages, release trauma, and restore alignment within the body’s energy field.

Neil shares his own experiences with somatic channeling - including spontaneous activation through plant medicine and breathwork — and how this work connects deeply with the principles of The Body Electric.

Together they explore:

• Why the body may move spontaneously during energy work
• The connection between trauma, energy blockages, and physical symptoms
• The role psychedelics have played in awakening these abilities
• How somatic channeling may represent an evolutionary shift in human consciousness
• Real stories of healing -  from chronic pain to addiction recovery
• Why the body may be far more intelligent than we realize

If you've ever experienced spontaneous movement during meditation, breathwork, plant medicine, or dance — this episode may help you understand what is happening inside your body and why.

You may just discover that what once felt strange… is actually something profoundly natural.
