Somatic Healing Meditations

• I Get Triggered by the Stupidest Things (Somatic Insights for Healing Your Triggers)

  Why do small things trigger such big reactions? Sometimes the tiniest moments … a look, a tone, or a comment can set off a wave of disproportionately big emotions. In this episode, we’ll explore why that happens and what your triggers are really trying to tell you through the lens of somatic healing. This is the first episode of Your Healing, Your Questions, a new mini-series within Somatic Healing Meditations where I answer real listener questions about nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and subconscious healing. These are short, educational conversations (not meditations) designed to help you understand your body’s responses and begin healing at their roots. You’ll learn how nervous system dysregulation can make you more reactive, what your triggers reveal about your deeper emotional history, and how to begin listening to your body with compassion instead of judgment. If you’ve ever thought, “I get triggered by the stupidest things,” this episode will help you discover the wisdom behind those moments and how they can become your greatest guides on the path to wholeness. Tune in now to explore somatic insights into what your triggers are really trying to tell you!

• Special Announcement: A New Mini-Series coming to Somatic Healing Meditations

  Have you ever wished you could ask me your personal questions about somatic healing … and have them answered right on the podcast? I’m so excited to announce a brand new listener-led mini-series on Somatic Healing Meditations called Your Healing, Your Questions. Each short episode in this series will explore real questions from our community about somatic healing, emotional processing, and the deeper layers of growth and transformation. Somatic healing is an entirely different paradigm from what most of us were taught. We’ve been conditioned to push away our feelings (to analyze, reframe, or think our way out of pain) but that approach misses what’s really happening inside the body. Somatic healing teaches us to honor our emotions instead of suppressing them, to listen deeply to the body, and to work with what’s truly living beneath the surface of our thoughts. Through this series, I’ll be answering your questions about how to apply this compassionate, body-based approach in real life, so you can deepen your self-awareness, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your authentic self. You can share your question with me by visiting: https://helloinnerlight.com/questions Your curiosity will help shape what we explore next, and I can’t wait to hear from you. P.S. If you’d love to go even deeper into this work, my free live training — The Secret Wisdom of Your Triggers — is happening in just two days! This workshop will help you understand your emotional triggers as powerful messengers from the subconscious and learn how to work with them in a somatic, body-centered way.

• Feel Safe in Your Body Again | Somatic Meditation to Create Cues of Safety

  So many of us are living in bodies that have forgotten what safety feels like. Even when life is calm, our nervous systems can stay in protection mode, keeping us stressed, tense, and constantly scanning for what might go wrong. This somatic meditation is an invitation to change that. Using gentle Havening touch, orienting, and other soothing regulation techniques, you’ll learn how to create cues of safety that speak directly to your nervous system. These small, body-based signals tell your system, “It’s safe enough to soften now.” Over time, they help your body recalibrate from protection into connection, so safety becomes something you can actually feel. Whether your body feels anxious, disconnected, or just constantly “on,” this practice will help you re-establish a sense of grounded ease and inner steadiness. Take this time to slow down, reconnect, and recalibrate your nervous system so you feel safe in your body again. Perfect for: nervous system regulation, feeling safe in your body, grounding, trauma healing and emotional balance.

• Don’t Believe Everything You Think (Somatic Meditation to Heal Cognitive Distortions)

  This somatic meditation is an invitation to explore a gentler (and more effective) way of working with your thoughts. 🌸 In a somatic approach to cognitive distortions, we do things differently. Instead of trying to challenge or replace difficult thoughts, we slow down and feel the feelings beneath them. Painful or looping thoughts don’t begin in the mind. They’re signals from deeper within, echoes of old emotions and experiences that never had the safety to be fully felt. 💗 When we tend to the feelings beneath our thoughts with gentleness and compassion, the body feels safer, the mind no longer needs to distort reality to protect us from pain, and the old emotions can begin to release. Using a body-centered emotional processing technique called Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM®), this meditation gently guides you beneath the surface of your thoughts to connect with what your body is holding, bringing relief, clarity, and a deep sense of inner understanding. 🌿 Take this time to listen inward, soften your mind, and let your body lead you home to healing. ✨ Perfect for: healing cognitive distortions, nervous system regulation, feeling your feelings, and releasing repetitive thought loops   In this episode: Why Cognitive Distortions Can’t Be Healed by Thinking Alone Somatic Meditation to Heal Cognitive Distortions Regulating Breathing Feel the Feelings Beneath The Thoughts Deepening Your Understanding With RIM Related: find more somatic emotional processing meditations here!
