Somatic Healing Meditations

Most of us carry a quiet belief somewhere inside that we are unlovable, fundamentally flawed, or that there’s just something wrong with us. It’s rarely something we say out loud but it shapes how we relate to ourselves, how close we let others get, and how safe we feel being who we are.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a gentle parts work meditation for the part of you that believes it’s unlovable. This practice is an invitation to turn toward that part with compassion and curiosity, and bring support and healing to this vulnerable part of you.

The meditation uses a somatic emotional processing technique called Regenerating Images in Memory to help you connect with this inner part at a deeper level. Through deep listening, acceptance, and support, it becomes possible to ease the intensity of shame and soften the grip of this old wound.

This is a supportive practice you can return to whenever you notice self-doubt, self-criticism, or a familiar sense of being “too much” or “not enough.”

Perfect for: parts work, healing toxic shame, feeling unlovable, somatic emotional processing, and compassionate self-connection

One of the deepest parts of real self-love is inner belonging. It’s the felt sense that all parts of you are allowed to be here, that you don’t have to push parts of yourself away in order to be okay, and that everything in your inner world has a soft place to land.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a soothing meditation with regulating breathing and gentle “Iffirmations for Inner Belonging”. These iffirmations are “what if” questions that help your nervous system open, gradually, to the possibility that all parts of you are welcome. They invite curiosity and soften resistance, so new ways of relating to yourself can begin to feel possible.

This is a gentle practice you can return to whenever you want to reconnect with yourself and feel more supported from the inside.

Perfect for: inner belonging, somatic self-love, self-compassion, parts work, and gentle emotional safety

Most of us were never taught how to be with ourselves when things are hard. This gentle, heart-centered meditation offers a supportive way to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and learn how to hold space for your emotions with compassion and care.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, you’ll be guided to hold space for yourself instead of pushing through, resisting or judging what you’re feeling. You’ll begin by connecting with your heart as a source of wisdom and emotional support, helping your nervous system soften and settle.

This practice creates a quiet, safe space to listen inwardly, meet yourself with kindness, and build a more loving relationship with your inner world. Over time, this way of being with yourself can ease inner tension and make hard moments feel more workable.

Perfect for: how to hold space for yourself, emotional support, self-compassion, heart-centered meditation, and somatic healing

When the world feels jarring or scary or out of control, the weight of it is carried by our nervous systems, hearts, and bodies. I think a lot of us are feeling that right now. The constant stream of hard things, the ongoing uncertainty, and the sense of having to stay alert all the time can make it hard to feel settled or safe, even when we’re doing our best to take care of ourselves.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a gentle, body-centered meditation for inner safety and support, inviting you to slow down, turn inward, and listen to what’s actually happening in your nervous system and body … so you can respond to yourself with care rather than pushing through.

This practice is a way of staying with yourself when things are truly hard. Of coming back into your body when everything feels overwhelming. Of noticing where you’re holding, where you’re tired, where something inside you is asking to be met, and choosing not to turn away from those places.

When we listen inward like this, we begin to create real inner safety. We begin building a relationship with ourselves that can hold us through difficult times.

You deserve real support, especially when life feels unsteady. This meditation is a way of offering yourself that support from the inside out.

This episode is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

There’s something deeply relieving about having a five-minute practice that can actually help your nervous system calm down. This short episode was created for those moments when your system feels a little keyed up, a little stressed, or just in need of a grounding pause.

In this gentle somatic practice, you’ll be guided through soothing touch, slow, settling breathing, and simple somatic awareness. These are all very direct ways of giving your nervous system signals of safety and support, so it can begin to soften and come out of high alert.

If you’ve been wanting something that’s truly small, truly doable, and still genuinely supportive, this five-minute practice is a beautiful place to begin. Press play and let your nervous system slow down and settle.
