Somatic Healing Meditations

• Soften Into Self-Love with this 3-Step Process for Self-Compassion (Guided Meditation)

  What if self-love didn’t have to be something you force or fake? 🌸 So often, the invitation to “love yourself” can feel confusing or even out of reach. We long for it, but we don’t always know how to bring love into our daily experience in a way that feels true. This is why self-compassion matters. It’s the pathway that helps us turn toward ourselves with kindness, honesty, and care. 💗 In this guided somatic meditation, I’ll lead you through a gentle 3-step process for self-compassion. You’ll learn how to find the part of you that longs for love, honor your feelings as deeply human, and soften toward yourself in a tender and real way. When we begin to cultivate compassion for ourselves in this way, our nervous system softens, our inner voice gets gentler, and love becomes something we can actually feel within us. ✨ 🎧 Soften into self-love as you listen today.

• Daily Emotional Reset: Somatic Practice for Clarity and Compassion

  ✨ So often, we move through our days carrying feelings we haven’t had time to notice. When our feelings go unacknowledged, they don’t disappear… they linger in the body, showing up as stress, tension, and a sense of being disconnected from ourselves. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a Daily Emotional Reset. It’s a soothing somatic practice to gently check in with yourself, shift your emotional state, and calm your nervous system. Think of it as daily tending: a compassionate reset that gives your emotions the care they’ve been asking for. This practice combines soothing self-touch with the simple but powerful act of naming what you feel (inspired by a process called Transpirational Havening). Together, these tools help quiet the amygdala, soften emotional intensity, and open space for more clarity and compassion. If you’ve been longing for a simple, supportive way to feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to yourself, this episode is for you. 💛 In this episode: The Power of a Daily Emotional Reset Daily Emotional Reset: How to do self-havening Feeling your emotions in your body Name it to tame it Learn more about Havening Techniques and the science behind them Related: Try more Self-Compassion meditations here Read more about this somatic emotional reset here Havening Techniques® is a registered trademark of Ronald Ruden, 15 East 91st Street, New York. www.havening.org ✨ Ready to find your center, quiet your mind, and step off the roller coaster of stress and overwhelm?

• Somatic Meditation for Emotional Regulation

  Looking for a gentle way to regulate your emotions? In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you through a Somatic Meditation for Emotional Regulation using a powerful process called Regenerating Images in Memory® (RIM). True emotional regulation isn’t about being calm all the time or forcing difficult feelings to go away. It’s about having a way to return to safety and clarity inside, even in the middle of strong emotions. And the key to doing this is deep listening: turning toward your emotions with presence instead of pushing them aside. Instead of pushing your emotions down or trying to control them, this meditation will help you practice deep listening and inner attunement - so your nervous system can settle and you can return to a place of safety and clarity within. This practice is a simple yet profound way to care for your inner world and experience how emotional regulation naturally unfolds when you meet yourself with compassion and inner listening.

  If you’ve ever longed for a bedtime story that feels both magical and deeply calming, you’re in for a treat. ✨ In this week’s episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I’m sharing a special feature from the beloved podcast Sleep & Sorcery, created by Laurel Hostak Jones. 🌙 Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure. Laurel weaves together original folklore and fantasy-inspired tales with soothing meditations, wrapping you in magic while gently guiding you toward deep rest. I truly love her creative and soothing stories! 💖 This fantasy sleep story is called Sea of Stars. In it, you step into the role of a cosmic caretaker, tending to constellations on a gentle journey across the night sky. As dawn approaches, you return to your own cozy resting place in the cosmos. It’s a dreamy and restorative way to drift into sleep. I hope you enjoy this special episode! I’ll be back next week with a new somatic meditation for you. 🌸 xoxo, Karena Learn more about Sleep & Sorcery here Related: Enjoy more Deep Sleep Meditations here Something That’s Really Helped My Sleep 😴 I’ve been using a small handheld device called The Chill Pill for the past six months, and it’s made a noticeable difference in my sleep.

• Bedtime Nervous System Reset (Gently Wind Down for Deep Sleep)

  You might feel completely exhausted at night, but if your nervous system is still “on,” your body won’t fully let go into rest. 🌙 This is why so many of us lie awake with racing thoughts, tension in our bodies, and a sense that deep sleep is just out of reach. The truth is, the quality of your sleep is directly tied to the state of your nervous system. If you go to bed dysregulated, your system stays on high alert, which makes it harder to stay asleep through the night. 😴 But when you regulate before bed, everything changes. Your breath slows, your muscles release, your heart rate settles, and your mind begins to soften. In this state, sleep not only comes more easily, it’s also deeper and more restorative. ✨ In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a Bedtime Nervous System Reset - a gentle somatic meditation designed to help you regulate, release the day, and prepare your whole body for the kind of nourishing rest you’ve been longing for. 💤💤💤 🎧 Give yourself these few minutes before sleep and notice the difference: falling asleep more quickly, waking less often, and rising in the morning with more clarity, energy, and ease. #forsleep #somaticmeditation #nervoussystemcalm #deepsleep #sleepmeditation #somaticsleepmeditation Episode timing: 00:00 - Deep Sleep and Nervous System Regulation 04:32 - Bedtime Nervous System Reset (Gently Wind Down for Deep Sleep) Related: Enjoy more Deep Relaxation Meditations here Read more about this Bedtime Nervous System Reset here Something That’s Really Helped My Sleep 😴 I’ve been using a small handheld device called The Chill Pill for the past six months, and it’s made a noticeable difference in my sleep.
