The document outlines the 5 basics of integral somatics: grounding, centering, focusing, contact, and boundaries. Grounding involves feeling the body and breathing to develop a sense of support. Centering refers to developing a bodily sense of self and stability from the core/center. Focusing awakens perception and attention through the senses. Contact examines objective and subjective contact dynamics through facial expressions and mirroring. Boundaries establishes clear, strong, yet flexible defense and security systems through working with the body image and specific muscles.
