Somatic Healing Meditations

Be here now. 😌 It’s a phrase we’ve all heard countless times—but what does it really mean?

And how do we actually live it, especially when the world feels overwhelming and our thoughts won’t slow down?

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, you’ll be gently guided into presence—not by efforting, but by softening. By slowing down. By feeling what’s already here. Because your body is always in the present moment—and turning...

We live in a world that encourages hustle, runs on urgency, and glorifies toxic productivity. No wonder so many of us struggle with time anxiety.

But time anxiety isn’t just stress about your schedule—it’s a felt sense of unease. It’s a nervous system stuck in urgency, and a body that never learned it’s safe to slow down.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a gentle Self-Havening meditation designed ...

Compassion is more than a feeling—it’s a healing state of being. It softens our inner harshness. It helps us stay present with pain rather than pushing it away. And it creates the spacious, tender inner conditions that allow true healing to take root.

This guided Compassionate Body Scan is not just a meditation—it’s a somatic experience of being with yourself in a new way. During it, you’ll be gently led into a deeply embodied sens...

You’re not alone—and there might be a deeper reason why your regulation practices aren’t giving you the relief you’re craving.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, we explore a common (and totally understandable) mistake many of us make: trying to use nervous system regulation to suppress or silence our emotions, rather tha...

Your body has been speaking to you all along—through tension, fatigue, emotions, and the quiet sensations that often go unnoticed. But in a world that teaches us to override discomfort and push through pain, we’ve forgotten how to truly listen.

In this guided Somatic Meditation To Listen To Your Body, you’ll be invited to slow down, drop beneath your thoughts, and gently tune in to the wisdom your body holds. Using Regenerating Ima...

This short somatic practice combines Self-Havening and soothing breathwork, two gentle y...

So often, we go through the motions of self-care, only to find ourselves still feeling depleted, unfulfilled, or unsupported. That’s because deep self-care isn’t as much about what you DO as it is about how deeply you LISTEN to your true needs and feelings.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I invite you into a practice of deep self-care - not as a task to complete, but as a way of being with yourself.

In this somatic ...

Your heart holds a quiet, yet profound intelligence—one that does more than simply keep you alive. More than just a pump, your heart is an incredible source of wisdom, capable of influencing your emotions, thoughts, and even your nervous system.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, you’ll be guided through a Heart-Centered Body Scan Meditation—a gentle yet profound practice designed to help you drop into your body and co...

True relaxation isn’t just the absence of stress—it's an embodied state of ease that invites the nervous system to soften, the breath to deepen, and the mind to quiet.

Yet in a world that glorifies busyness, true rest and relaxation can feel elusive.

Even when we try to slow down, our minds race, our bodies hold tension, and relaxation feels just out of reach. But what if you could invite ease into your body, breath by breath?

In t...

What if you let yourself fall in love with your life—just as it is?

“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...

Do you ever feel trapped in your own thoughts? Like your mind is running in circles, analyzing every detail, replaying conversations, or preparing for every possible outcome? Life is exhausting when you’re stuck in your head!

Relief doesn’t come from thinking harder—it comes from feeling, sensing, and reconnecting with the deep wisdom of your body.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you through a gentle s...

When life feels overwhelming—when the world is loud, uncertain, or just plain too much—our bodies hold the weight of it all.

That tightness in your chest, the ache in your shoulders, the restless tension in your belly—these are not burdens to dismiss. They are invitations. Gentle messengers asking you to notice, to listen, to feel.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, you’ll discover a powerful somatic journaling exercis...

Our bodies are incredible—they hold so much wisdom and capacity for healing. One of the simplest, yet most profound ways to support our nervous systems is through a body scan meditation.

When we gently bring our attention to the sensations in our bodies, something remarkable happens: we create a sense of safety and presence. This practice helps to downregulate the stress response and invites our vagus nerve—the cornerstone of nervo...

Do you ever wonder: Who am I beneath it all?

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you on a loving and profound journey inward to connect with (and embody) your true self. This powerful meditation utilizes Regenerating Images in Memory® to help yo...

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 ...

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.
