Free Your Body from the Past: A Somatic Path to Healing
Peter A. Levine, PhD, developer of Somatic Experiencing®, brings a unique perspective to the relationship between healing, presence, and spiritual growth. His work shows that many of the barriers we encounter on our inner path are not failures of will or intention—they are the remnants of unfinished biological responses held in the nervous system. When these patterns soften and resolve, our capacity for clarity, connection, and expansion naturally increases.
In this keynote, Dr. Levine will explore how physiological safety forms the foundation for meaningful transformation. He will explain how the body’s instinctive responses shape our inner experience, and how a regulated nervous system allows us to access deeper states of awareness with steadiness rather than overwhelm. This is where the body and mind begin to work together rather than against each other.
A key part of the session includes a live Somatic Experiencing® demonstration, where Dr. Levine will guide a participant through a gentle process of tracking sensations and observing the body’s natural movement toward balance. This real-time experience illustrates how releasing old survival patterns frees energy that can support insight, intuition, and a greater sense of aliveness.
Dr. Levine’s teaching reminds us that spiritual growth is not about rising above the body—it begins by returning to it. When the nervous system is no longer bound to the past, it becomes a powerful ally on the path toward presence, coherence, and deeper inner expansion.
The Body–Mind Bridge: How Physiological Safety Supports Spiritual Expansion
You’ve consumed countless spiritual teachings over the course of your life. But have you truly embodied them? `
We collect insights faster than we can integrate them. We meditate, we read, we practice… but rarely do we give our bodies, energy, and emotions the space to catch up with what the mind knows.
That’s why embodiment matters. It’s the bridge between understanding and transformation.
The Mindvalley Spiritual Summit 2025 is a 2-day immersive experience designed to help you close that gap, to move from learning spirituality to living it.
