Somatic practice — named for “soma” or the living body — is a way to connect the mind and body that encourages internal attentiveness.

They’re trained and conditioned to take a drug called soma to keep their “levels” steady, and everyone seems mostly chill with it, clicking their pen-like dispensers at regular intervals as they interact with each other.

Emotions are neutered via the regular administration of a drug known as soma, which keeps everyone in their place and guarantees a place for everyone.
