Enter the Threshold
A 4-week journey to feel safe in your body again and step into your next expression of self.
You already know who you’re becoming.
Your mind is ready. Your vision is clear.
And yet, every time you try to live as that person, your body tightens, freezes, or pulls you back.
This is the threshold.
Not a mindset problem.
Not a lack of willpower.
But a nervous system that doesn’t yet trust the new frequency you’re asking it to hold.
This work is for you if…
You are a space holder, feeler, or quietly responsible one in your world who:
Has done your share of therapy, readings, courses, or spiritual work
Can name your patterns but still watch your body react the same way
Is the one others lean on, even when you are running on empty
Is ready to move from “I understand myself” to “I can feel myself respond differently”
You’ve done years of healing.
Therapy, somatics, spirituality, astrology, coaching, energy work.
You understand your patterns.
You can name your wounds.
You can see your potential.
But when it’s time to:
be more visible
earn more money
take up more space
speak with authority
let yourself be seen and chosen
your body reacts as if it’s unsafe.
You freeze.
You overthink.
You fawn, collapse, or sabotage the moment.
Not because you’re not ready.
But because your nervous system hasn’t been taught how to feel safe there yet.
The real problem (and why willpower only doesn’t work)
You can’t embody a new version of yourself if your body believes it’s dangerous.
More success can feel threatening because:
visibility once meant rejection
power once meant punishment
being seen once meant loss of belonging
More money can activate fear because:
it separates you from family or community
it makes you “different”
it requires claiming your worth without apology
More confidence requires:
using your voice
being felt
standing in your truth
And that only happens when the body is resourced enough to stay present.
Embodiment requires capacity.
Capacity requires safety.
That’s what we build here.
What changes after the program
The change doesn’t arrive as a big moment where everything suddenly feels easy.
It shows up gradually, in how your body meets everyday situations that used to feel charged.
You begin to notice that moments which once triggered tension don’t take you out in the same way. The activation might still be there, but it no longer hijacks your system.
You can stay present long enough to feel what’s happening instead of immediately bracing, shrinking, or pushing through.
You begin to inhabit your choices instead of negotiating with fear around them.
You move from self-protection into self-trust.
Before, your body often reacted faster than your choice.
Expansion felt destabilizing.
Newness came with a sense of threat.
Stepping into more felt like something you had to survive.
After crossing the threshold, your system responds differently.
You pause more naturally.
You feel into situations instead of rushing to decide.
You sense when something is aligned and when it isn’t, not as a mental calculation, but as a physical signal.
Over time, your nervous system learns something essential:
that growth doesn’t automatically mean danger.

Program outline
Week 1: Mapping your Protectors
You begin with a 1:1 astrology reading to identify your core patterns, light and shadow expressions, and the protectors that run your system. You leave with a clear map of where your blocks come from and how they live in your body.
You’ll walk away with:
The ability to recognize protectors in your body
You’ll start noticing these parts as sensations, impulses, or tensions, before they turn into overwhelm or shutdown.
Embodied insight into your astrology archetypes
You’ll see how your chart translates into real nervous system patterns like over-responsibility, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or fear of visibility.
Week 2: Building your relationship with Light
You learn to access your Self energy, strengthen inner leadership, and connect with inner resources. We practice somatic grounding, spiritual guidance, and magnetic inner parents to build safety from the inside.
You’ll walk away with:
A stronger sense of inner leadership
Instead of being run by protectors, you begin to experience yourself as the one who can hold, guide, and respond.
Embodied inner resources you can rely on
Through somatic and energetic practices, you build internal support that doesn’t collapse under stress.
Week 3: Befriending the protectors
You meet your protectors with respect and curiosity. You learn to soothe them, negotiate with them, and understand what they’ve been trying to prevent. Their resistance softens because they finally feel seen.
You’ll walk away with:
The ability to meet protectors without conflict
You learn how to approach these parts with curiosity and respect, rather than frustration or force.
Practical tools to soothe and regulate activated protectors
You’ll practice somatic techniques that help parts settle in the body, not just understand intellectually.
Week 4: Rescuing the Child + Integration
You meet the child exile at the root of your patterns. You hold, repair, and reconnect with this part through somatic and energetic work. You learn how to integrate this connection into daily life so the change continues far beyond the program.
You’ll walk away with:
Somatic and energetic repair
Through body-based and energy work, you offer holding, reassurance, and attunement that allows long-held charge to release.
A felt sense of reconnection and trust
The child part no longer feels alone or abandoned, which naturally reduces reactivity across your system.

My own Threshold moment
In 2023 I left Japan for the US, chasing a tech career in the Bay Area.
On paper, it looked bold. Inside, it was my ego searching for proof.
I worked hard, did all the right things, watched the job market freeze, and pushed even harder.
My mind stayed in problem-solving mode. My body quietly collapsed. One tense email could send me into a spiral. A calendar invite could make my chest clamp shut.
When the career I had built my identity around started slipping through my fingers, I panicked and did what I always did: doubled down. More effort. More planning. More trying to outthink reality.
Astrology was supposed to be a distraction, something to explain why everything felt so heavy. Instead, it cracked something open. Seeing my chart during that period didn’t soothe me. It confronted me. It showed me I was in an ending, not a failure. An identity shedding, not a personal flaw. For the first time, my body stopped fighting what was happening.
Somatic work didn’t come gently. It was awkward and uncomfortable and deeply humbling. Sitting with sensation instead of overriding it felt like losing control. Fear lived in my chest. Responsibility sat like armor on my shoulders. Panic had a rhythm. Once I stopped trying to calm myself down and actually listened, my body stopped screaming. It didn’t need fixing. It needed attention.
Energy work was the part I resisted the longest, until I couldn’t deny it anymore. The warmth, the subtle pull, the feeling of being held without effort. It was familiar. Ancient. The same sensation I remembered from childhood prayer, before I learned it was safer to doubt myself. Feeling energy again wasn’t mystical. It was relieving. Like exhaling after years of clenching.
That was my threshold. The moment I stopped trying to become someone more impressive and started inhabiting myself. Not transcending my body, but coming back into it. Not chasing safety, but letting it land. Once that door opened, there was no way to pretend I didn’t know the way home anymore.

About your guide
I am Paula, the creator of Anima Soma. I’m a certified Psychosomatic and Parts Work practitioner, Reiki energy healer, and astrologer who leans on her clairsentient and claircognizant gifts to move and clear energy in the body and reconnect others with their soulful essence.
I’m also an astrologer who sees planetary aspects as guidance for inner transformation, integrating both light and shadow expressions.
For a long time, I lived in my mind. I avoided my body, shut down pleasure, and over-analyzed every decision. Somatic work, parts work, astrology, and energy healing brought me home.
Now I help clients build relationships with their bodies and parts so they can trust themselves again and grow into the identity their soul is calling them toward.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
The work is paced with your nervous system. You choose your depth. Nothing is forced.
-
That’s completely okay — it’s where most people begin.
Everyone has the capacity to rebuild a relationship with their body. In our sessions, we gently clear the protective layers that keep you dissociated, allowing safety and connection to grow at a natural pace.
My regulated nervous system helps co-regulate yours, so your body gradually learns what safety feels like again.
-
Sensitivity to energy differs for everyone. Some people experience tingling, warmth, or waves of emotion; others simply feel deeply relaxed.
Even if you don’t consciously “feel” it, the energy still flows to the parts of your system that need it most, creating openings for your body to process and integrate at its own rhythm.
-
No. This is trauma-informed somatic coaching and spiritual guidance. It can complement therapy but doesn’t replace it.
By signing up for the program, you consent to receive Somatic and Energy Work, understanding it involves working directly with your energy field for balancing, restoring, and healing.
-
Traditional talk therapy often works through the mind’s understanding — using conversation and reflection to gain insight into patterns, emotions, and past experiences. It helps you make sense of your story, but sometimes the body still holds the unprocessed emotion — the “charge” — behind those insights.
Somatic Parts Work starts where the body speaks.
Instead of analyzing, we listen to sensations, tension, temperature, movement, and the felt sense that often carries what words can’t express. Through guided awareness, we meet your inner parts not as ideas, but as living energies within your nervous system.
-
This is not another course. It’s a guided, embodied, integrated process with real-time support.
