Soma
The word soma refers to an organism as a whole
(Hanna, 1986). In understanding the human as a soma rather than a mind
and a body or a bodymind, "there is no distinction between body and mind.
Instead, body and mind are understood as an inseparable continuum of matter
and
consciousness"
(Greene, 1994, p. 98). Hanna (as cited in Greene, 1994) uses the word
soma as "a body perceived from within" and refers to "the rich and
constantly flowing array of sensing and actions that are occurring within
the experience of each of us" (p. 98).
