Living from the Pace of Presence
Living from the Pace of Presence
As we enter 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse—a cycle of momentum and forward movement—this practice space offers the grounding, pacing, and heart coherence needed to meet what’s coming with presence rather than pressure.
An experiential, psycho-spiritual-somatic practice space devoted to restoring coherence by honoring the intelligence of the nervous system and the sentient intelligence of the heart—at the pace the body can receive and the heart can trust.
Let’s begin this year not by striving, fixing, or overriding ourselves…
…but by returning to the source of our aliveness.
Vital Force is the innate life intelligence that animates the body, regulates the nervous system, and opens the heart toward intimacy, creativity, Eros, and the recognition of what is true.
It is the current that moves through breath and blood, sensation and feeling, instinct and intuition.
And yet, in a culture shaped by urgency, productivity and chronic self-abandonment, this life force often becomes:
* contorted, suppressed or numbed
* fragmented by trauma and adaptation
* forced into performance rather than nourishment
This practice space is an invitation to restore your
Vital Force by discovering the Pace of Presence — the speed at which the body feels safe, the nervous system can integrate, and the heart can naturally open to ones innate eros, creativity, and intimacy with ones own sentient intelligence. Allowing every moment to be an opportunity for developmental growth, rather then continued arrested development.

The Year of the Fire Horse:
Meeting Power with Presence
Meeting Power with Presence
Across ancient traditions, the Horse symbolizes raw life energy — instinct, Eros, movement and power. It is not a creature to be dominated. It must be met, listened to, and ridden with attunement.
Move too fast, and you are thrown. Collapse, and you will never leave the ground.
The Pace of Presence is what allows Vital Force to move with grace.
This container is an invitation to learn how to ride your life-force energy, rather than outrun it, suppress it, control it or be overtaken by it.

This Is a Modern Day Embodiment Mystery School Space
Across cultures and centuries, mystics, adepts, and embodied practitioners discovered the same truth: There is an alchemical space within the core of the body — a living center of Eros, nourishment, intuition, and love — from which authentic awakening, healing, and embodiment arise.
This space and the presence of awareness within it has been named many things: the central channel, vital force, shakti, kundalini, life current, creative fire, the subtle core and more.
In this container, we approach this space not as concept or technique, but as direct, lived experience that we can cultivate, deepen within and LIVE FROM. Vital Force is a modern-day mystery school — a space for discovering, remembering, and reclaiming our birthright to full aliveness as empowered, embodied, loving human beings. From here we discover latent capacities to meet the challenges of our modern life, rooted from within the sacred depth of our true nature.

A Psycho-Spiritual Somatic Invitation
A Psycho-Spiritual Somatic Invitation
There is nothing within your experience that cannot be met with love, warmth, and respect. What feels blocked, unwanted, or unresolved is not a flaw — it is often the very doorway through which your deeper vitality and truth are revealed.
This work offers a safe field of presence where you are not asked to bypass, fix, or transcend what has shaped you. Instead, we bring loving attention to what has been held in isolation, allowing under-nourished and forgotten parts of self to return to the warmth of the core — the place where dignity, sovereignty, and true nature are most tangibly felt.Together, we cross the subtle bridge from mental concepts and future projections into a fully embodied experience of the present moment. From this ground of feeling awareness, agency is restored — the capacity to be at choice rather than in reaction. Here, Eros becomes nourishment, power becomes trustworthy, and Vital Force returns as a living current that guides your life. This is the beginning of living beyond old patterns and participating consciously in the Living Now — as an embodied co-creator of the life you were born to live.
Living Power - Embodied Courage
Living Power - Embodied Courage
Guided by living, emergent themes, this practice supports the restoration of nervous system coherence and the repair of trust with instinct, sensation, and inner knowing. Vitality is approached without urgency and met exactly where it is — including moments of exhaustion, grief, or depletion.
Even when life force feels distant or weak, Vital Force is never absent. It is not dependent on surface states of body, mind, or heart. What is primary here is a deeper connection to PRESENCE ITSELF — the essential ground from which vitality, clarity, Eros, and coherence naturally arise.
This is living generative power —
not forced, not bypassed, not denied —
but met.
Dragon energy.
Horse energy.
Life force itself: wild, intelligent, alive.
When approached at the Pace of Presence, this power becomes resourcing rather than overwhelming, restorative rather than depleting. VALOR names the embodied courage required to slow down, stay present without a reference, and remain with not-knowing long enough for truth to reveal itself. Living from the Pace of Presence is the key to the flourishing of body, mind, and heart — and it is how Vital Force remembers itself as home.

Each month includes two complementary sessions, designed to support both:
Body Time and Heart Space.
PLUS a recorded audio to work with at home on your own.
PLUS Bio-optimization Support.
_______________________
✧ SOMATIC DIVE PRACTICE — Body Time ( First Saturday of the month)
Through precise alchemical practices — including:
* breath and audible sound
* attuned touch and embryological movement motifs
* relaxed concentration and subtle awareness—we grow the potency of Vital Force,
vivifying the subtle core and empowering:
* higher brain states
* heart coherence
* emotional regulation
* embodied creativity
These practices draw from ancient mystery school yogas of Egypt, Greece, India, and Tibet, now supported by modern neuroscience showing their impact on healing, vitality, and nervous system regulation.
________________________
✧ TRANSFORMATIONAL INTIMACY — Heart Space (Third Saturday of the month)
A relational practice devoted to presence, feeling, and authentic relating to self - others.
Here, intimacy arises not through exposure or performance, but through living sentience - the intelligence of the heart available in the present moment. We will work with guided inquires that are created to inspire authentic connection to your own presence.
Authentic joy, grief, tenderness, desire, and vulnerability are welcomed as signs of life force returning to relational flow on the way back home to Self.
________________________
Logistics:
* Each month we will gather TWICE for a 2 hour LIVE practice session over zoom.
* We meet the first Saturday of each month from 10am-12pm PST.
& the third Saturday also from 10am-12pm PST.
* You will also receive a 30 min guided companion audio to support you throughout the month.
* We will have a group telegram chat space in which you are invited to stay connected to this circle.
* BONUS: Each month you will also receive particular bio-optimization suggestions that are designed to support your over all vitality and optimum health.
* You will have access to my library of 100's of audios & videos if you are ever wanting more!
* All sessions are recorded as you are not required to come to the live meeting if you are not able to.
A feminine approach to embodied awakening
A feminine approach to embodied awakening
From a young age I was intent on awakening to 'the truth of who I AM' and traversed many spiritual paths and traditions. Most of the awakening traditions came to the West from the East and as such carried with them more masculine approaches to 'awakening'. Practices based in Stillness, Discipline and intention to Dominate our 'lessor' nature.
What I have witnessed as well as chosen to participate in over the last couple of decades is the shift to more feminine, integrative practices that are not about dominating ones experience, but allowing a greater intimacy with what is present and thus growing more capacity to include more and more sensation inside of ones felt experience. The more that we discover how to provide the safety for ourselves to FEEL our honest experience, without overly indulging or fixating, the more VITAL we become.
In 2012 I became an Authorized Continuum teacher and had the blessing of receiving this authorization from Emily Conrad, the founder of this body of work. I also had the blessing of being steeped in her presence for the last 8 years of her life, before she passed from her body in 2014.
"The concert of existence places me in resonance with our biosphere, meaning that at this moment there is no "body" no separation; I am part of the swirl of bio-morphic unfolding. I am not bound by culture or language. The deepening of sensation allows me to be without category. I transfer the moisture of my cells, join the wet of the grass, the pour of the ocean, the stars that watch over the night. The plants breathe, my skin is wet, we are here. This fundamental umbilical to life without category is for me the first stage of sanity."
-Emilie Conrad, Life on Land

The Living Method: Continuum & Core Embodiment
The Living Method: Continuum & Core Embodiment
Continuum is itself a modern mystery school — a self-healing, oxytocin-replenishing, cell-renewing embodiment practice that utilizes breath, sound, subtle intrinsic movement, and provocative inquiry. Through these elements, personal identity softens and becomes fluid again, allowing vitality, creativity, and presence to reorganize naturally.
Ancient mystery school yogas of Egypt, Greece, India, and Tibet understood that working directly with the core energy centers and subtle body was a powerful way to advance and evolve consciousness. Today, modern neuroscience confirms what these traditions intuited: that such subtle practices support nervous system regulation, emotional integration, vitality restoration, and the creation of regenerative environments for growth and healing.
Continuum, combined with my background in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, NARM, Esoteric Anatomy, Tantric and Shamanic energy practices, and trauma-informed healing, has become my own embodied synthesis:
Core Embodiment®.
Within this field, the resonance of people breathing, moving, and sounding together establishes a deeply safe environment for personal exploration of one’s inner landscape. The movement explorations are slow-paced, subtle, and precise — contemplative and dynamic — allowing Vital Force to reorganize from the inside out, at the Pace of Presence.

Hello! My name is Ajaya Sommers,

Hello! My name is Ajaya Sommers,
in case we have not met yet!
I'm the founder of a unique somatic discovery process called, Core Embodiment® — an integrated system of embodiment practices, principles and perceptual orientations to awaken and align with the power of your human potential. I am also a certified Biodynamic Craniosacral Integration Teacher, a NARM practitioner (Neuro-affective-relational model) as well as an Authorized Continuum Teacher.
For the past 30 years I have been instrumental in facilitating conscious evolution in thousands of people’s lives as a teacher, author, public speaker and creative catalyst in the field of psycho-spiritual somatic integration.
I design and facilitate training programs for professionals, lead retreats, and offer both live and on-line group platforms for organizations that are ecologically regenerative, socially just and spiritually connected. All of my programs are grounded in science, expanded through devotional practice and made real through direct experience.

What other's are saying:
"Participating in Ajaya’s course was a gift during a very upside down time. The course began just before I closed the doors to our retreat center of 25 years, due to the pandemic. Having the consistency of the loving invitation back home- to my Hara, my Heart and my Head was so helpful and beautiful I have worked with Ajaya at a couple of in person retreats in the past and found
her presence and her teaching brought the medicine I needed in times of transition and overwhelm. Life always presents challenges and the initiations into suffering. Having others in the group who are willing to be honest about whatever is going on for them in the moment is always supportive. Ajaya guides with a great deal of knowledge and experience. Trusting that she has truly been on her own deep journey provides the safety that I need to drop into the deeper currents of my own life."
-Gail Warner, MA, MFT
"Deeply devoted to embodied spirituality and as a somatic healing practitioner, coach and group-facilitator myself, I was guided to Ajaya's Core Alliance Membership and Alchemy of the Heart groups as an answer to a strong impulse to explore my own "edges" by being held in an ongoing group-container led by another truly devoted sister on the path. I am beyond grateful I joined. Ajaya's synthesis of embodied wisdom in the practices she offers, the powerful transmissions in her weekly CAM benedictions, and the pathways that have opened up for me in her exquisite holding of space for somatic deep-dives and 1-on-1 facilitation have been truly life-changing."
-Angela Johnson - Sacred Mountain Medicine
“Honestly, I did not really know what to expect as I had never done the practice of Continuum. I was absolutely blown away by Ajaya’s ability to hold the intimate and entirely safe space for healing and organic unwinding. I am in awe and gratitude for the healing that happened for me during the retreat, as I trusted the process and my body’s own innate intelligence. As a psychotherapist, I have attended many workshops and retreats, and this was an experience like no other in its ability to reach the depths. The presence that Ajaya IS was there to support and facilitate our work, and revealed a beautiful presence in myself, an irresistible beauty that cannot be denied once seen.”

Where we repeatedly return our attention, we grow the fruits of our experience. My invitation to you is to recognize that it is a choice in each moment to rest your awareness here in this core self-terrain, as your top priority and first point of attention.
This choice, again and again, and yet again, is what provides the natural space to allow your human experience to become a refuge, rather than the source of rejection, drama, or escape. Instead, every wave of uncertainty, fear, grief, anger, pain, or joy can be a holy gift; revealing your growing capacity and circuitry for greater vitality and embodied aliveness.

"It's hard for me to adequately convey the radical enrichment, contentment, quiet joy, and ease that has gradually settled over me since I first encountered Ajaya a couple of years ago now. Life, of course, is far from perfect but, for the first time in my life, effort and self-judgment are no longer the base notes of my journey. Self-love and care, good humored self-acceptance, deep gratitude, and freedom from useless worry have come home to live with me. I live in a precious Mothering Field for the first time in my life. All of that feels like a miracle.
I continue to feel blessed beyond all saying by Ajaya’s nourishing presence in my life, and by the warmth and diversity and authenticity of the presence of other members in the Core Alliance. So I’m all in. I can’t wait to see what she and ‘we’ give birth to up ahead!”
