The Somatic Frequency

Damian Appleby 99 Episodes Jul 29, 2026

The Somatic Frequency is a podcast about nervous system healing and somatic affirmations, encouraging transformation through feeling instead of thinking. It works from the body up, rather than top-down mindset approaches, to help listeners connect with their internal compass. Each episode offers a practical exercise or teaching on the law of resonance and embodied change. The show is for anyone who has tried understanding their way forward and is ready to feel their way there.
