somatic
Pertaining to flesh
Somatic means relating to the body, especially as distinct from the mind.
In medicine and biology, somatic cells are all body cells except reproductive ones.
Somatic symptoms are physical manifestations: Her anxiety produced somatic effects—racing heart, sweating, trembling.
Somatic therapies work through the body rather than talk: somatic experiencing, somatic yoga.
