Discover the Pandiculation Technique – Somatic Movement to Release Trauma & Stress
Do you have to navigate chronic tension, stiffness, and stress — no matter what kinds of therapeutic techniques or bodywork practices you try?
According to Martha Peterson, founder of Essential Somatics®, when the stress of daily life takes hold, it can hijack you emotionally, psychologically, and physically.
And if it feels like stress is coming at you from all angles, you’re not alone. In fact, Martha says, there are three universal stress reflexes everyone experiences that can keep you feeling stuck.
When you live in this perpetual state of fight or flight, the tension builds up and chips away at your immune system. It also undermines your ability to listen, move, express yourself, and even plan for the future.
There’s good news! Through the power of somatic movement, you can strategically address each of the three universal stress reflexes — and finally experience the relief you’ve been seeking.

Release Stuck Trauma & Tension With Somatic Movement & Pandiculation:
Reset Your Stress Reflexes for Greater Comfort & Ease in Your Body
… where you’ll begin by rating your current tension levels on a scale of 1-10, and then reset yourself from within and ease stress through Martha’s guided movements.
These include an invigorating full-body pandiculation — an organic movement that improves your brain’s ability to sense and move your muscles with ease, as it calms your nervous system and enables deep relaxation.
You’ll learn the elements of the three universal stress reflexes:
- The green light reflex, the sense of fight-or-flight that calls the body to action
- The red light reflex, or startle reflex, which occurs in response to anxiety, apprehension, fear, or perceived threat
- The trauma reflex, which includes avoidance, twisting, and side-bending
… and how they’re each related to certain stressors and past or present traumas in your life. You’ll explore how these full-bodied reflexes show up everywhere — from your feet to your pelvis and up to the ribcage, shoulders, head, and even the eyes.
After a differentiation technique (a practice to adjust how you feel in real time), you’ll once again rate the tension levels and compare them to your stress levels at the beginning of the hour. I think you’ll be surprised to feel the difference!

In this experiential and healing hour-long event, you’ll discover:
- That when vulnerable animals in the wild escape attack by predators, they shake off the resulting stress in the instinctual process of pandiculation to reset their nervous system
- The powerful truth that your response to stress and trauma are equally emotional, psychological, and physical — and how understanding this can help you move forward with a sense of true self-agency and freedom
- The phenomenon of Sensory Motor Amnesia, the state of chronic muscle tension that prevents you from moving freely — and how you can restore brain-to-muscle communication to reduce tension in your muscles and nervous system
- A guided pandiculation practice that serves as a reset to reconnect your brain and muscles — and holds the key to restoring comfort and ease in your body
- A differentiation technique to change how you feel in real time (you’ll assess how you feel before and after)
Join Martha and learn how stress and trauma manifest in the body, and experience effective ways to address them so you can feel more embodied and at ease in the joyful life you create for yourself.
