Return to Reality: Sustainable Happiness and the Neurobiology of Feeling Safe

Somatic Science® is a novel, reason-centered neurocognitive & nondual wisdom approach. It supports our nervous system to become regulated, relaxed and harmonized with itself & the external environment. This helps us to develop a basic capacity for self-attunement and self-regulation, which are essential for satisfying relationships with our self and others. This approach fills the void left by Science and Spirituality yet embraces both, which ignore the great importance of Nervous System Regulation in our lives.

The aim of our approach is to enjoy life with great happiness; no more and no less. It is not to focus on diagnoses, understanding our problems or spending many years analyzing them. When we are happy, we are simply BEING the present moment, where psychological, scientific, spiritual or metaphysical problems do not exist. There might be challenges, and in being presence, we can resolve them with responsibility and care.

Unlike conventional models that treat thought as the pinnacle of intelligence, Somatic Science® proposes something striking: that much of what we call “thinking” is not reasoning at all—but merely a looping replay of past experiences, trapped in memory, sustained by a dysregulated nervous system.

In an age of constant stimulation, fragmented attention, and persistent unease, one vital truth often escapes us: suffering is not in the world—it’s in the way we experience it. This is the foundational insight of Somatic Science®, a 25-year inquiry into what it truly means to be present, to be well, and to be happy.

At first glance, “happiness” might sound like a fluffy goal—but in the Somatic Science® framework, happiness is rigorously defined: *it is the absence of suffering*. And suffering, it turns out, is the result of a dysfunction in our internal regulatory systems—a maladaptive threat response cycle (mTRC) that keeps us stuck in an outdated representation of the world. When our nervous system remains caught in responses to past trauma or stress, we lose the ability to engage the present with curiosity, aliveness, or joy.

Drawing on the scientific method—not vague thinking, but reasoning grounded in the body’s internal feedback systems—Somatic Science® shows us how to support a grounded, present-centered experience of life. It’s not about affirmations or denial, but about decoding how your nervous system holds onto metabolic energy in the form of tension, how it constrains and limits our behavior, and how it clouds or colors our cognition. When we are no longer trapped in that cycle, suffering lifts. Life becomes livable—perhaps even wonderful.

“There is never anything wrong right now.”

As Noam Chomsky might say, the models we live by are often invisible to us—but they govern everything. Somatic Science® invites you to examine and update those internal models, not just intellectually but somatically, experientially. That is the revolution in perception.

We warmly invite you to explore this living science in our upcoming online workshop, Sustainable Happiness in Daily Life, on May 17–18. Using clear theoretical explorations, demonstrations and practical insight, we will explore how happiness isn’t a thing to chase—it’s what emerges when suffering ends.
