What is SomatoEmotional Release?

 Imagine your body as a computer, storing every emotional experience in a file. Some files help us process and grow, but others—especially those linked to trauma—can become corrupted, stuck, and no longer serve us. SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is a therapeutic technique designed to help you identify and delete these outdated “files,” restoring balance and wellbeing.

What is SER and How Does it Work?

Developed by Dr. John Upledger, SER builds on the gentle principles of CranioSacral Therapy (CST). While CST focuses on physical tension and the craniosacral system, SER goes a step further by addressing the emotional energy trapped within your tissues.

During a session, your therapist uses light touch to locate areas where your body may be holding onto past emotional trauma. These unresolved emotions can surface gently and safely, allowing you to release them—sometimes with tears, memories, or a sense of relief.

Why Do Our Bodies Store Emotions?

Our bodies have an incredible capacity to protect us. When we experience trauma or overwhelming emotions, the body might “store” these feelings to help us cope. Over time, these stored emotions can contribute to physical pain, tension, or emotional patterns like anxiety and fear.

How SER Helps:

  • Releases stuck emotional energy in a safe, guided way.
  • Reduces physical discomfort linked to emotional trauma.
  • Promotes deep relaxation and a renewed sense of freedom.


Think of it like cleaning out an old storage closet. You sort through what’s there, keep what’s useful, and let go of what’s weighing you down. SER helps you do the same for your mind and body.

It can get worse. It can get better.

A good friend of mine reached out to me with the following: "My favorite massage teacher in the whole world used to say, "If it can get worse, it can get better." and I want to hear your story about that." This is where my understanding is at the moment: How we see a situation is based on our judgment of it. And, whether we know it or not, we’re always judging. Consequently, we give a situation a path to a certain outcome based on the energy we give it with our judgment. So, if we see a situation as bad, then we give it permission and momentum to develop in that direction. And if we see a situation as a doorway to better possibilities, then our thoughts direct creative energy to the situation; guiding it to evolve in the direction of our beliefs. Over the last few years a creed developed for me that still stands unchallenged by my experiences. A set of three “rules”. The first two don’t pertain to the topic at hand, but the third is: ...

12 Strands Of DNA - Our Spiritual Heritage

For years science has recognized that we have two active physical strands of DNA. We also have a further ten energetic DNA strands which have been dormant within the Human Being for many centuries. These dormant strands of DNA have been discovered by scientists, who not knowing the function of these strands, have identified them as ‘junk’ DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains all the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living things. The main role of DNA is the long-term storage of information. DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells. The DNA segments that carry genetic information are called genes, but other DNA sequences have structural purposes or are involved in regulating the use of genetic information. Our DNA is therefore our personal blueprint and as such holds all our mental, physical, emotional and Spiritual information. The or...
