“Name it to tame it” isn't just a phrase; it's neuroscience. Research shows that when we put our feelings into words, we activate the part of the brain that helps us feel calmer, clearer, and more in control. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a gentle, somatic exercise to help you name what you're feeling in a way that brings emotional clarity and relief. And we won't just be using words—we'll also be using Self-Havening, a simple but powerful technique that uses soothing touch to support your nervous system and deepen your healing. By combining mindful awareness with gentle touch, we create the perfect conditions for emotional release, self-regulation, and deep self-compassion. If you've been feeling tangled up in emotions or just want a compassionate way to reconnect with yourself, this episode is for you. Let this Name It To Tame It practice be a gift to yourself—a moment to name what's here, to soften into it, and to discover what happens when you meet yourself with curiosity and care.

Are you feeling disconnected and dissatisfied? Or burned out from constantly trying to conform and perform? The sad truth is that most of us spend most of our time disconnected from our true selves. Today's somatic meditation to connect with your true self is all about getting a deep sense of your true essence. This essence is often drowned out by the distractions around us and the expectations placed on us, but in today's somatic meditation, you'll be guided to pause, breathe, and turn your attention toward this true essence in a powerful and nourishing way. Reconnecting with your true self in this way is a radical act of self-love. It's a beautiful, transformative process that brings you home to yourself. And at this time of year, when people are making all sorts of resolutions, goals, and intentions, it's more important than ever to check in with our true selves to make sure we're guiding our lives toward paths that will feed our hearts and souls (instead of just aiming for the same empty accomplishments society has convinced us are important). Join me on this beautiful journey inward and reconnect with your true self!

In a world that constantly urges us to do more, achieve more, and be more, the idea of slowing down and allowing ourselves to pause can seem almost radical. Yet, that's exactly what the winter solstice invites us to do. This longest night encourages us to find quiet within and honor the cycles of rest that our bodies and minds so deeply need. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, join Karena as she gently guides you inward with a peaceful somatic meditation for the winter solstice. “A Peaceful Pause” uses gentle, heart-centered breathwork to deeply soothe your body, heart, and mind. This calming breathwork supports your nervous system, bringing it into a more regulated state, and tones your vagus nerve, enhancing your overall well-being and relaxation. Take this time to nurture yourself with stillness and compassion. Remember, healing is not a race, it's a journey of gentle, compassionate unfolding. And, sometimes, the most profound progress happens when we simply allow ourselves to pause and rest.

Self-love is a term often misunderstood and oversimplified. We know it's an ideal we want to work toward, but most of the advice we hear about how to actually achieve it totally misses the mark. In this Somatic Self-Love Practice, you'll explore how deep listening and inner attunement can help you cultivate a relationship with yourself where you create a deep sense of connection, acceptance, and support (the true foundations of self-love). You'll be guided through a regulating and compassionate somatic meditation for self-love and support that will help you attune to your inner self more deeply and bring loving support to the parts of you that need it. This somatic self-love practice is truly a soothing and regulating revolution in self-love.
In today's digital age, social media has woven itself into the fabric of our daily lives, offering both connection and distraction at our fingertips. And while social media has some beautiful and supportive aspects, the algorithms behind it are designed to be highly addictive and manipulative. We scroll, hoping to find something uplifting, educational, or distracting, but we soon find ourselves lost in the unfulfilling world of doomscrolling. The endless scroll for dopamine hits can lead to significant costs: nervous system dysregulation, emotional exhaustion, and a disrupted sense of self. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, you'll be guided to connect with your body in a way that gently regulates your nervous system. Then we'll use a body-centered emotional processing technique (called Regenerating Images in Memory®) to examine and process the deeper feelings, needs and desires that are driving your doomscrolling in the first place. This meditation can be incredibly regulating and clarifying, empowering you to create a more mindful relationship with technology—one that supports your well-being rather than depleting it.

In this guided meditation session, I, Cha Wilde, will lead you through a series of mindful breathing exercises and grounding practices. Let's begin by finding a comfortable seated position. Place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly, and let's focus on our breath together. 00:00:01 - Opening and Breathing Instructions Welcome, everyone. I invite you to settle into your seats and connect with your breath. Breathe in deeply through your nose, and let's become aware of the natural rhythm of your breath as you find your center. 00:00:53 - Mindfulness and Body Awareness Now, let's bring our awareness to our surroundings while also turning inward. Keep your eyes soft, gazing gently downward, and feel your heartbeat as you sit tall. Remember, it's perfectly okay for your body to slump; just as in life, we can gently lift ourselves back up. 00:03:14 - Breathing Techniques and Mantra I'll guide you through a breathing pattern now: inhale for four counts and exhale for six. Let's make that exhale a little longer, as it helps to calm the mind. I'll introduce a mantra for you to repeat: “I am here.” Feel free to place your hands on your knees, palms facing down to ground yourself, or up to open your heart. 00:09:17 - Closing Remarks As we approach the end of our session, I want to thank you for taking this time to be present with me. Remember, by cultivating peace and love within yourself, you can share that energy with others throughout your day. Let's take one last deep breath together before we finish. ------------------------ ✨ Welcome to Cha Wilde's YouTube channel dedicated to healing.

Hi! I'm Cha Wilde, join me as I guide you through a meditation session focused on body awareness, breath work, and connecting with the earth. We'll release tension through stretches and movements before settling into a seated meditation. Our journey will visualize the spine as an energy channel, expanding awareness into the cosmos and grounding into the earth's core. We'll experience the heart as a bridge between the individual self and the outer world, fostering a sense of expansion and connection. Let's conclude with gratitude and appreciation for the beauty around us. 00:00:01 -- Opening Movements We begin with a series of movements and stretches to release tension and prepare for meditation. This includes wiggling the body, circling the spine, cat/cow poses, and side bends to open the lungs. 00:03:16 -- Settling into Meditation Find a comfortable seated position, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. Relax the jaw, soften the eyes, and lengthen the spine. 00:04:04 -- Visualizing the Spine and Expanding Awareness Visualize the spine as a central energy channel (shashumna) and travel awareness up through the body systems, into the brain, and out to the crown of the head. Imagine expanding your awareness into the cosmos above, feeling a sense of openness and connection with the universe. 00:09:31 -- Grounding and Connecting with the Earth Travel your awareness downwards, through the root and into the earth below. Feel supported by the earth and receive that support with gratitude, like a mother's embrace. 00:11:38 -- The Heart as a Bridge Experience the heart as the meeting point between the lower chakras (individuality and survival) and the upper chakras (outward expression and exploration). The heart is a bridge connecting the personal self with the outer world, radiating warmth and kindness. 00:14:20 -- Closing We conclude with gratitude, maintaining a tall spine and sense of groundedness and expansion. Let's appreciate the beauty around us, like the rose bush I point out in our session. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chawilde/support
Hi everyone, I'm Cha Wilde. Welcome to our guided somatic meditation session. Today, we'll be focusing on counting the breath, a simple yet powerful practice to bring you into a state of calm and presence. 00:00:15 -- Setting the Scene Find a comfortable seated position, either on a chair or on the floor with a cushion. Make sure your spine is straight but relaxed. Rest your hands on your knees or in your lap. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in, and exhale slowly. 00:01:00 -- Beginning the Breath Count Let's begin by simply noticing our breath. Inhale naturally and exhale naturally. Don't change anything, just observe the rhythm of your breath. Feel the air entering through your nose, filling your lungs, and then leaving your body. 00:02:00 -- Starting the Count Now, as you inhale, count 'one' in your mind. As you exhale, count 'two'. Continue this pattern up to 'ten' and then start over at 'one'. If you lose count, gently bring your focus back and start again from 'one'. 00:03:30 -- Deepening the Practice Continue counting your breaths. Notice any thoughts or distractions that arise. Acknowledge them without judgment and gently bring your focus back to the breath and the count. This practice helps to train your mind to stay present. 00:05:00 -- Exploring Sensations As you continue counting, begin to notice the sensations in your body. Feel the rise and fall of your chest, the expansion of your abdomen, and the gentle flow of air. Allow these sensations to anchor you deeper into the present moment. 00:07:00 -- Bringing Awareness to the Environment While maintaining your breath count, start to expand your awareness to your surroundings. Notice any sounds, the temperature of the air, or any subtle movements around you. Allow these observations to deepen your state of mindfulness. 00:08:30 -- Returning to the Self Gently bring your focus back entirely to your breath and the count. Feel the connection between your mind, body, and breath. Recognize this moment of peace and presence that you've created. 00:09:30 Conclusion When you're ready, slowly release the breath count. Take a few more deep breaths and then gently open your eyes. Notice how you feel. Carry this sense of calm and mindfulness with you as you move through your day. Thank you for joining me in this practice. Namaste. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chawilde/support

Hello, I'm Cha Wilde. Welcome to our guided meditation session. I've recently moved from Bali to Seattle, which brings a fresh backdrop to our practice. Let's begin by sitting comfortably on the floor. We'll connect with our bodies through gentle postures and deep breathing. I'll read excerpts from 'The Awakening Body' by Reginald Ray, highlighting the importance of body awareness and inner connection.

Let's dive in and connect together. 00:00:49 -- Connecting with the Body Sha invites us to sit on the floor and connect with our bodies, emphasizing our shared human anatomy and experiences. She suggests that by going deep into our bodies, we can tap into a universal field of awareness where everything is interconnected. 00:02:29 -- Reading from 'The Awakening Body' Sha reads from 'The Awakening Body' by Reginald Ray, her meditation teacher in the Tibetan yoga lineage. The passages she shares highlight the importance of entering directly into the limitless domain of the body to uncover our deepest, most authentic selves and true lives. 00:03:14 -- Guided Meditation and Yoga Poses Sha guides us through various yoga poses, such as Child's Pose, Thread the Needle, and a gentle backbend. She incorporates breathing techniques and mindfulness practices, encouraging us to focus on our breath, body sensations, and the present moment.

One thing that most people don't realize is... SO MUCH of our stress, tension, overwhelm and confusion comes from suppressing our emotions instead of processing them in a way that allows them to be released.Suppressing our emotions also disconnects us from our inner wisdom and authenticity, cluttering our thoughts and making us more prone to mood swings, irritability, and physical ailments.But here's the good news: there's a way out. This somatic meditation for emotional release can help you connect with and give voice to your emotions in a way that helps them release naturally.Having an emotional release in this way can relieve a bunch of stress, decrease your internal tension, boost your mental and emotional wellbeing, and increase your compassionate self awareness. Learning to feel your feelings in this way is truly a vital part of self care and self regulation, plus it can pave the way for greater emotional resilience and authenticity in your life.Episode timing:00:00 - The benefits of emotional release02:47 - Somatic Meditation for Emotional Release (using Havening Techniques® and Regenerating Images in Memory®)29:41 - conclusionLearn more about Havening Techniques and the science behind themConnect with Karena:- @helloinnerlight on Instagram, YouTube and Insight Timer- Karena Neukirchner Lindell on LinkedIn- helloinnerlight.com- Sign up for Karena's free minicourse: The Feel it to Heal it Mini-Course- Somatic Healing Meditations homepage

Een somatic meditation om contact te maken met je hart en alles wat daar rust. Ons hart probeert ons zoveel te vertellen. Het enige wat we moeten doen is luisteren. Vind een rustige plek, ondersteund en warm, en dan keren we samen naar binnen om ons interne landschap in alle liefde en zachtheid te verkennen. Je hebt geen meditatie ervaring nodig. Er kan wel wat loskomen, dus maak genoeg ruimte achteraf om even te reflecteren of enkele inzichten neer te schrijven. Kom zo vaak terug naar deze meditatie als nodig. Je kan deze verschillende keren herhalen, en elke keer zal er iets nieuws naar bovenkomen.

Our fears give us a false and temporary sense of safety, but in reality keep us in a state of tension. True emotional & mental safety comes from somewhere else. This meditation can help identify the source of your fear, the function (what emotional experience it's protecting you from) and what beliefs are at the root of it. In this meditation, we listen. Let me say that again, we listen. Some people call this parts work. There is a part of you carrying this burden or this fear, but it is not all of you. And it is probably not how God wants you live. In this practice, we are going to get in touch with that part of you that is carrying this fear and ask if there is anything you can do while Grouded In Christ, to help it cast off this fear/ burden. 1. Identify Discomfort in Body 2. Identify Fear/ distress underneath the sensation. 3. Feel for the original source (story) behind this pain. 4. Listen to the part of you carrying this burden. 5. Ask what mindset, beliefs need changing for true relief. 6. Turn to the Lord to affirm this and ask for additional truth. 7. Speak this truth to the part of you carrying this fear. Are looking to reverse your chronic pain or symptoms, reach out for a free consultation to see if we are good fit.

In today's episode, we welcome Lolly, a friend of the podcast and Dancinema collaborator. Dancefilm is a special mode of expression and calls for a different approach of reception. Lolly has been our liaison, guiding us to consider screendances – the way we view, feel, and discuss them – from a new perspective. Lolly's various projects intersect art, dance and somatic coaching. At Dancinema's festivals for a few years now, Lolly has led somatic meditations before screenings to help us transition from the buzzing of the outside world into a clearer mind and body space to actively receive the projects on screen. The results have been increased kinesthetic empathy and more lively, reflective conversations to follow each screening. All of us on the podcast have experienced it for ourselves, and we want to share a version of it for you at home through the podcast. Jump to 38:50 for our Somatic Meditation to play before you watch your next dancefilm, or just as a system reset whenever you need it.

Themes: Somatic Meditation, Empowerment, Breathwork, Clarity, Self Awareness, Self Love, Connection, Self Regulation, Authentic Self, Integrity, Relationships In this solo episode, Empowered Connection podcast host Damodar Cordua leads listeners through a beautiful meditation that combines somatics, breathwork, and self-reflection in order to see, hear, hold + validate the truth of our present moment.When our nervous system is strained and tightened, we will inevitability default to the strategies that steer us away from "what is..." strategies rooted in the past or overly desirous of the future. During these moments, we often become maladaptive, push down our truth, and our work, our integrity, our relationships to others, and our relationship to our own self suffers. In this meditation, find a simple, practical & potent reset amidst the busyness of life in order to move into more spaciousness of the body, nervous system and mind. This spaciousness allows the truth of our most present self to rise to the surface of our awareness. And a self reflection exercise then allows that truth to be integrated into our life in meaningful & needed ways.*Upcoming workshops with Damodar in-person, in Philadelphia, including Emotional Awareness + Conscious Communication Immersion*Attention Yoga Teachers in the Philadelphia/NJ/Delaware areas:Empower & Uplevel your yoga teaching with this special50 hr Advance Your Teaching Training at Palo Santo Yoga in Philadelphia*AND: Reach Out to Empowered Connection podcast host Damodar for your FREE Discovery Sessionand start your 2023 journey of self & relational discovery & empowerment... for both individuals + couples who are ready to explore, illuminate + empower their lives & their relationshipsANDGet 10% OFF your coaching journey by mentioning the Empowered Connection PodcastFind Daily Relationship Tools + Tips & Self Growth + Empowerment Practices with Damodar on Instagram - @empoweredconnection.meSponsored by wellness apothecary and all natural healing products for the body, mind & spirt Bhava Wellness&EMPOWERED CONNECTION

In this Chakra Chat I talk to Somatic Meditation teacher Neil McKinlay. Neil has so much value to add to our meditation practice - we had a lovely conversation. He opened up about the experiences that he had within a Tibetan Buddhist meditation community where the power balance was askew. So we discussed recovering from trauma, how meditation has shaped his life and so many wonderful tips on developing our own meditation practice.Enjoy! Hosted on Acast.

We define Somatic Self Leadership Training as the art and practice of dropping out of the head and into the body, learning to become the primary caretaker for your parts of Self, and being a courageous open-hearted man and leader. But what does that really mean? Today, I sit down with Brain Fritz. He's been showing up and practicing in The Unshakable Man Community for over 52 weeks, he's going through a 200-hour yoga teacher training and he's a self-described intellectual that realized he used his intellectual capacity as a shield. By his assessment, something is different about the way we do this somatic work together in the community as men. I thought he was the perfect man to invite on to the show to have a conversation about the work we do. As always we recorded this episode in the hope that it inspires more men to start to begin the journey inward and to join a community like The Unshakable Man. Please send us your reflections, feedback, and questions about the episode, and if you are curious to join us in our next cohort go to UnshakableMan.com to learn more.

We live in a world dominated by screens: Mobile Cell Phones, Tablets, Laptops, TV...When we look at these screens, our mind gets 'sucked in' and flows out into the www. ("The Worldwide Net of Māra"). Our awareness disconnects form our physical body and gets lost in an external virtual dimension of images, videos, concepts and proliferations.It's so important to bring awareness back into our physical body. In this guided meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to re-establish body awareness, mindfulness of the body ('Kāyagatā Sati'), recommended by the Buddha as a fundamental condition for meditative development ('Bhavanā'). www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive

We are often operating from the duality of Victim or Tyrant when we are confronted with fear. How can we learn to address our fears in this moment of difficultly without become absorbed by them. How can we shift from resistance which adds to suffering to allowing a relationship to develop with our fear so that we can see we have choices and that our fear, although scary, can be a very effective teacher. Jessica discusses using inner connection to help shift us out of victim/tyrant duality and into inner wisdom and then guides us through a somatic meditation to address our inner truest needs. Recording from a live-stream online class on 4/25/2020 at Love Hive Yoga in Portland, Oregon.
In this episode of Wisdom of Wyse Women, we talk about our divine power to be our own healers. We mirror nature in our abilities to regenerate and restore ourselves, when we take the time to tap into that powerful part of us and integrate it into our energy, spirit, mind and body. When we take back our healing power from things or others that we have outsourced it to, and commit to trusting ourselves on our own unique healing and wellness journey, we come home more to our infinite abilities to create the lives that we deserve and desire. I get into the work we do as individuals before turning outwards to assist others in their journeys. Importantly, I discuss the feelings we may have of “imposter syndrome”, where we feel we may have to be “perfect” in order to be considered a healer. But the truth is that we are all journeying towards our feelings of wholeness. And we do not need to be perfect, or compare ourselves along the way. We are all here to learn about ourselves, and we each have the power to restore ourselves to the healed, embodying a whole state of being. As always, you are so supported, and so encouraged to be all of you. And by calling your inner healer forth to be unleashed, you are reclaiming a beautiful part of your deep personal power. Much love from your host. All the best for a blessed week. Minute 7-getting into the riff on our individual power to heal ourselves. Minute 27-Somatic Meditation; mantra: “I trust that my body has all it needs to heal itself”. We will take ourselves to a place where we find healing and restoration and allow that energy to call up healing and peaceful sensations in the body.

Each day, as parents, we hope to give our kids/teens all they need to manage daily realities and all the ups and downs that come along with the beauties and ugly moments of life. This meditation is meant as a tool for both parents and their kids/teens to use together or on their own. Just one more tool in their tool basket to use, to add to all that you have taught them. To be aware of all that they already know and to learn to listen to what signals are coming. And, for you all to find a grounded place to relax into.We join Yustin Castillo and myself, Ariel Andersson, for a Somatic Meditation in English. (In the connecting podcast, before, we talk a little about what somatic meditation is, why we are offering this to all parents and kids/teens and Yustin’s own journey within and with her son, now 13.If you are interested in our discussion about the meditations and as well enjoying the parent/kid-teen meditation in Spanish, you are welcome.https://imperfectparenting.net/Support the show (https://patreon.com/join/intuitivelifeprojects)
Ariel Andersson and Yustin Castillo discuss another mindfulness technique to help balance our daily family lives. Somatic meditation is about body signals and awareness. Yustin to walks us through parent/kid/teen meditations in both Spanish and English. These can be done by young adults or alone, with parents and others to help check in with our bodies, seeing what somatic knowledge is available to us to help us manage all kinds of moments in our lives. Yustin is a mom of a 13 year old young man and works with her family as well as clients, in multiple ways. The meditations she shares with us are mindfulness tools for the whole family to keep balance, awareness, calm and clarity for life and moments that happen alone the way, regardless of belief systems, religions and more.In various moments in life, our bodies are responding and giving us information, if we are paying attention. What if we learn to understand what our bodies are telling us? How could we thus change our experience of daily life and all that comes with it.Check out our blog to get more details, along with both the English and Spanish meditations and this podcast discussing this mindfulness tool relating to family.https://imperfectparenting.net/Thank you for your support and telling 1 friend about the podcast!

Today’s world is GO GO GO, and for many people, doing and achieving has become an addiction (sheepishly raises hand). From the outside, it can look like drive and motivation, but on the inside, it can feel like a constant and endless search to feel “enough.” You know you’re an addict if… You have a hard time celebrating wins (if at all) You are constantly feeling guilty at the end of the day because you didn’t get enough done You keep saying, “As soon as I xxx, I will be happy/calm/peaceful etc” Sitting still is impossible No matter the achievement, you’re still left feeling not good enough Today on the podcast, we tackle this topic with a former achievement addict and current Leadership Coach, Bristol Baughan. Keep in mind, as you read this bio, this is one human… Bristol is an Executive Producer of Emmy-winning and Oscar-Nominated films and has had her work featured on HBO, Paramount, and Showtime. She’s founder of Inner Astronauts, a Leadership Coaching practice to support people in thriving at work and coming fully alive in service to the world. After a decade of starting companies and making award-winning films she spent seven years studying behavior and consciousness around the world including a Master's Degree in Spiritual Psychology, a Mastermind Coach Training with Alyssa Nobriga, and hundreds of hours of one-on-one coaching. She has learned skills across modern and ancient modalities including Person-Centered Psychology, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Gestalt, and Somatic Meditation. She has gone on pilgrimage with Tibetan monks in India, studied Tantric & Hatha Yoga in Thailand. Clearly, she is an action taker, but on the podcast, she opens up about healing from achievement addiction. We both come clean about where this need arises from, and how to take steps towards inner peace. LINKS: Bristol's Website Bristol's Tedx Talk Call the show!

Raghu has a deep chat with Reggie Ray, one of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s first American students. Reggie shares some very personal moments with Trungpa Rinpoche that illuminate some of the unique qualities of this amazing being: “In the beginning, naive me would go down to the picnic tables and see Rinpoche sitting alone and I’d sit down next to him and it was like I had just sat down next to the noon-day sun, and I was terrified of what he might do because in his space somehow whatever your little trip was it was going to be exposed.” Reggie talks about one of his most basic teachings on Somatic Meditation (interrelatedness of mind, body and spirit) and then leads a meditation.
