What if you have nothing to prove?

Most of us carry some version of “not enough” within, whether it shows up as self-doubt, pressure, or a quiet sense that we’re somehow broken or bad or wrong. And even when we understand where those feelings come from, they can still feel very real in the moment.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a gentle practice that helps you feel into your worth in a direct, embodied way.

We use a simple approach called iffirmations, which are “what if” questions that open your mind and body to new possibilities. As you listen, you may notice your body softening, your thoughts settling, and a more supportive, grounded sense of yourself beginning to come forward.

If you’ve been stuck in patterns of self-doubt or feeling like you’re not enough, this meditation offers a different way in, one that helps you reconnect with your inherent worth in a gentle and relieving way.

Perfect for self-worth, feeling good enough, emotional healing, and reconnecting with your authentic self

Does that sound familiar?

Maybe you lie down and your body still feels tense. Or you try to slow down, but your mind won’t stop thinking. You want to rest, but something in you stays on.

This is often due to nervous system dysregulation. With so much constant input and overstimulation in our modern world, our nervous systems can lose the natural rhythm of activation and settling. Instead of coming down when it’s time to rest, your body stays “on” leaving you feeling wired, exhausted, and unable to find true calm or relaxation.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I’ll gently guide you through a somatic meditation designed to help your body come out of that activated state and begin to relax again.

We’ll use simple, body-based practices like self-havening, orienting, and body scan breathing to send clear signals of safety to your system.

So, if relaxation has felt out of reach, this practice will help your nervous system shift so you can unwind, feel more at ease, and actually rest.

Perfect for nervous system regulation, stress relief, and learning how to relax when you can’t relax

This gentle breathwork practice is a simple, soothing way to help your body and mind actually settle.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I’ll guide you through Humming Bee Breath (Bhramari Pranayama), a beautifully simple yet profoundly healing practice, paired with a gentle healing light meditation.

Humming Bee Breath has been studied for its effects on the nervous system and overall well-being. It can help calm the stress response, support immune function, and ease some of the tension your body has been holding. If you want to relax your nervous system, release built-up tension, or simply have a few minutes of quiet, this is a very gentle way to do that.

As the body begins to settle through the breath, the healing light becomes a way of gently supporting and nurturing the areas within you that have been holding the most. It gives your system a felt sense of warmth and care, which can deepen the experience of relaxation in a way that goes beyond just the breath.

A gentle, effective practice for deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, and giving your body the kind of rest that actually helps it reset.

But in a world that constantly asks us to keep going, stay positive, and hold everything together, many of us have learned to push away what we’re actually feeling.

When emotions like sadness, anxiety, confusion, or overwhelm arise, we often try to push them down, analyze them away, or simply pretend we’re fine. Over time, that pattern leaves us tired, tense, and carrying a heavy load of emotional stress in our bodies.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, you’ll be guided through a gentle somatic meditation designed to help you acknowledge and care for what you’re truly feeling.

We’ll begin with slow, regulating breathing to calm the nervous system and help you settle into your body. From there, you’ll gently turn toward what’s present inside you, allowing your feelings to be noticed with compassion and care.

As you make space for what you’re truly feeling instead of pushing it away, many people notice a sense of relief in the body, a quiet calm emerging within, and the compassion that comes from allowing every part of their experience to be here.

Perfect for emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and gently caring for yourself when you’re not feeling okay.

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

In this episode:

  • We all feel unlovable sometimes…
  • Parts Work Meditation For The Part of You That Believes It’s Unlovable (using RIM)

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.

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.

So many of us don’t just have emotions, we have feelings about our feelings. We might be afraid of our shame, ashamed of our fear, or judge ourselves as weak for feeling anxious or angry. Over time, this ties our inner world in knots and creates tension, self-judgment, and a quiet fear of our own emotions.

Instead of our emotions moving through us and releasing, they get held at a distance. We don’t feel them deeply enough to truly heal.

In this somatic meditation, you’ll gently cultivate cues of safety in your body and practice meeting your feelings in a grounded, supported way, so your system can learn emotional safety and emotions can finally move, complete, and resolve.

Press play now and begin meeting your feelings with more safety and support.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, we explore why these patterns exist in the first place and why they’re not signs that something is wrong with you.

From a somatic healing perspective, many of our most stubborn old patterns formed as self-protective responses long ago and are held in the body and subconscious, which is why insight alone doesn’t always lead to change.

This compassionate, body-based meditation is designed to help you slow down and meet a part of you that’s been carrying an old pattern. You’ll be guided to connect with the deeper roots of this pattern that have been held beneath the surface, creating the conditions for those responses to begin to loosen.

If you’ve been cycling through the same emotional reactions and wondering why they haven’t shifted yet, this practice offers a grounded, supportive way to start releasing old patterns from the inside out.

Set aside a few quiet minutes, get comfortable, and join me for this somatic meditation to understand and begin to release old patterns.

The truth is, your thoughts aren’t the problem … they’re symptoms of deeper layers living in your body and nervous system.

In this episode, you’ll learn why mindset work alone often falls flat, and how nervous system state, unprocessed emotions, and old conditioning shape your thoughts and mindset long before you’re aware of them. When you begin to work with the body instead of fighting with your thoughts, everything starts to make more sense.

Through nervous system regulation and a gentle somatic emotional healing process, you’ll be guided to connect with the deeper emotional and subconscious material underneath the pattern.

If you’re tired of trying to think your way into feeling better, this practice offers a compassionate, body-centered path toward real change.

This guided somatic meditation offers a gentle, body-centered way to de-stress your nervous system and feel more relaxed again.

This practice can help your system soften, settle your thoughts, and reconnect you with your inner world in a kinder way. It’s especially helpful when you’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, or longing for a moment to feel safe inside your own body again.

When you’re overwhelmed or stretched thin, you deserve tools that bring real relief. This guided somatic meditation offers a gentle, body-centered way to de-stress your nervous system and feel more relaxed again.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, we use self-havening, a touch-based somatic practice shown to calm the parts of the brain that activate during stress. This gentle touch supports your body in shifting out of high alert, which can help you regulate your nervous system and unwind the stress you’ve been carrying.

This practice can help your system soften, settle your thoughts, and reconnect you with your inner world in a kinder way. It’s especially helpful when you’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, or longing for a moment to feel safe inside your own body again.

Take this time to slow down, listen inward, and let your system unwind at a pace that feels right for you.

In this Parts Work Meditation for Releasing Limiting Beliefs, you’ll be guided beneath your limiting belief itself to meet the part of you that has been holding it. Instead of trying to override the belief with new thoughts, this practice helps you connect with the younger or more vulnerable part of your inner world that learned this belief in the first place.

This kind of compassionate inner attunement is what allows real change to happen. When you work with the belief at its root, your body begins to soften, your patterns begin to shift, and your system finally gets a chance to reorganize around something truer and more supportive.

Listen now and experience what happens when you meet your belief at its root, allowing a more honest and compassionate relationship with yourself to unfold.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, we’ll explore why that happens.

From a somatic perspective, your limiting beliefs aren’t just thoughts to be changed. They’re living memories of who you had to be (and what you had to believe) in order to stay safe, loved, or connected earlier in life.

You’ll learn how these beliefs live deep within your body and subconscious mind, quietly shaping how you see yourself, others, and the world around you.

And you’ll discover why mindset work can feel like self-gaslighting when it doesn’t reach the parts of you that are still carrying the pain or fear from the past.

This episode is part of my new “Your Healing, Your Questions” series, where I answer listener questions about healing and emotional growth. It’s an insightful, conversation-style episode rather than a meditation.

Tune in to learn how to move beyond mindset and begin transforming the roots of your limiting beliefs through compassion, presence, and somatic awareness.

In this episode:

  • Why Mindset Work Isn’t Enough to Change Your Limiting Beliefs
  • What Limiting Beliefs Really Are (A Somatic Perspective)

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

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

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.

In this episode:

  • How to Create Cues of Safety to Heal Your Nervous System
  • Somatic Meditation to Create Cues of Safety
    • How to do Havening touch
    • Havening and Orienting
    • “Squeeze and Sigh”
    • Noticing Cues of Safety Within and Around You

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

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. ✨

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. 💛

  • 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

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.

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

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. You just hold it in your hand, and it sends soft electrical pulses into your palm that help calm your nervous system. It’s subtle, but so effective - especially when your body feels wired but tired.

If your system struggles to settle at night (or you just want a gentle way to support your regulation), I really recommend it.

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. ✨

You’re not alone.

So many of us carry the tension of the day, or even the weight of years, into the night. Our bodies may be tired, but our nervous systems haven’t yet gotten the message that it’s safe to rest.

🌙 This soothing somatic sleep meditation is here to help.

Designed to gently calm your nervous system and guide your body into a deeper state of regulation, this practice supports rest from the inside out. Through breath, soft inner attunement, and a gentle body scan, we’ll begin to send a powerful signal to your system:

🫶 You’re safe now. You can let go. There’s nothing you need to do.

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. You just hold it in your hand, and it sends soft electrical pulses into your palm that help calm your nervous system. It’s subtle, but so effective - especially when your body feels wired but tired.

If your system struggles to settle at night (or you just want a gentle way to support your regulation), I really recommend it.

Use code KARENA for 10% off (or 15% off during the month of August 2025)!

You’re not alone.

So many of us carry the tension of the day, or even the weight of years, into the night. Our bodies may be tired, but our nervous systems haven’t yet gotten the message that it’s safe to rest.

🌙 This soothing somatic sleep meditation is here to help.

Designed to gently calm your nervous system and guide your body into a deeper state of regulation, this practice supports rest from the inside out. Through breath, soft inner attunement, and a gentle body scan, we’ll begin to send a powerful signal to your system:

🫶 You’re safe now. You can let go. There’s nothing you need to do.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, we’ll explore the neuroscience behind what it really means to be your best self (and how nervous system healing makes that possible).

When you're dysregulated, you have less access to your prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain responsible for clarity, compassion, nuanced thought, emotional regulation, and values-based decision making. Instead, your system shifts into survival mode, leading to reactivity, rigidity, or disconnection.

But when you’re regulated, you reconnect with the best qualities that make you who you truly are. You become more grounded, more present, and more able to live from wisdom, compassion, and care. 🌿

I’ll also guide you through one of my favorite gentle regulation practices, a tool you can return to again and again as you reconnect with your best self.

This episode is an invitation to pause, settle your system, and expand into more of who you really are. 🌸💫

What if it’s the resistance to them that’s making everything feel harder? 💭

So many of us were taught to push down our emotions, power through, or stay “in control.” But that constant inner tension doesn’t bring peace … it keeps your nervous system stuck in a state of stress and overwhelm.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, we’ll explore how resisting your emotions actually activates your nervous system, and how allowing (even just a little) can begin to bring relief, calm, and connection. You’ll learn why this shift matters, and how to begin making it in a safe and supportive way. 💗

Then we’ll move into a soothing somatic meditation to help you practice that shift. Through self-havening and gentle “iffirmations,” you’ll be guided to soften resistance, reconnect with your body, and experience the peace that comes when every part of you is allowed to be here.

This is a powerful, body-based way to calm your nervous system and return to yourself with more compassion and ease. 🫶

(Somatic Meditation to Heal Your Blocks to Self-Love) We all struggle to love ourselves sometimes.

Even when we truly desire to be kind to ourselves, to feel our worth, and to see ourselves through loving eyes … something inside of us resists, or pulls away, or shuts down.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, we’ll explore the deeper reasons why we experience blocks to self-love.

You’ll be gently guided through a Somatic Meditation to Heal Your Blocks to Self-Love using Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM®). This practice invites you to connect with the parts of you that may be holding fear, pain, or resistance - and to meet them with warmth, curiosity, and compassionate attention. Together, we’ll create space for those parts to soften, so that self-love can begin to feel safer and more possible.

If self-love has felt distant or unreachable, this episode offers a quiet turning point. A space to breathe, to reconnect with yourself, and to take one soft step closer to the love that’s already waiting within you.

And when we do, something beautiful happens: our relationship with ourselves starts to feel like home. A place where we can soften, rest, and meet ourselves with compassion, no matter what we’re feeling.

This week’s Self-Love Body Scan Meditation is a soothing, regulating journey to connect with an authentic sense of self-love in your body.

From there, you’ll be guided through a slow, spacious body scan designed to help you connect with yourself with true compassion and care.

Think of it as an invitation to discover what self-love feels like in your body … and to anchor that feeling a little more deeply with every breath. ✨

If you’ve ever longed to feel more love from within, this episode offers a gentle path back—one breath, one moment at a time. 💗🌸

It’s a Relationship) What if self-love isn’t something you feel… but something you create? 💫

In this episode, we explore a completely different way of understanding self-love. It’s a view rooted in developmental psychology, somatic healing, and the attachment patterns that shape our inner world.

You’ll learn how the four-step attachment cycle becomes a powerful, research-backed blueprint for creating secure attachment with yourself.

Even if you didn’t grow up with consistent emotional attunement, your body can still learn what it feels like to be truly seen, supported, and loved from the inside out.

We’ll talk about why so many of us struggle to feel safe with ourselves, how to gently re-pattern those old dynamics, and what it means to create a felt sense of inner trust and belonging. 🌱

Then, I’ll guide you through a somatic meditation based on the attachment cycle using Regenerating Images in Memory®. This is a deeply intuitive process that helps you attune to your real needs and respond with care.

💗 If you want to move from thinking about self-love to feeling implicitly loved, this episode is for you.

We’re so often told to silence anxiety - override it, out-think it, distract ourselves from it. But what if real relief comes not from resisting our anxiety, but from turning toward it with care?

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a powerful somatic meditation for anxiety relief - a practice that helps you shift from control to compassion. You’ll explore what happens when you stop bracing against your anxiety and begin to gently feel it, listen to it, and honor the wisdom it holds.

This 4-step anxiety relief process is rooted in neuroscience, somatic emotional processing, and deep inner attunement. It’s not about forcing yourself to be calm - it’s about becoming a safe place for the parts of you that feel anxious.

🎧 If you’ve been longing for a way to meet your anxiety that feels gentle, real, and deeply healing… this episode is for you.

They stay with us - in our bodies, in our breath, in our inner dialogue - quietly shaping our experience from underneath the surface.

This gentle somatic meditation is an invitation to stop running and start listening. You’ll be guided to turn toward what you’ve been holding inside and meet it with compassion and care - creating space for insight, integration, and emotional release.

Using a powerful emotional healing technique called Regenerating Images in Memory® (RIM), this practice helps you connect deeply with what’s really going on within you in a way that can facilitate a deep emotional release. RIM works with your body and imagination in a deeply intuitive way, supporting healing that feels organic, safe, and surprisingly relieving.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or just sensing that something’s unresolved beneath the surface, this episode is for you. Let this be a soft place to begin again.

🎧 Press play when you’re ready to gently feel what’s here - and release what no longer needs to be held.

Procrastination isn’t a character flaw. It’s often a protective response from your nervous system, signaling that something inside doesn’t feel safe, ready, or supported yet.

And, pushing yourself harder or relying on willpower usually makes the cycle worse. What you actually need is to listen to your body and bring it back to a felt sense of safety.

In this gentle Havening meditation, I’ll guide you through soothing touch and a series of iffirmations — compassionate “what if” questions — to help you calm your nervous system and reconnect with your inner motivation.

This practice will support you in moving forward without force, at the pace of your body and in the direction of your truth.

Procrastination isn’t a character flaw. It’s often a protective response from your nervous system, signaling that something inside doesn’t feel safe, ready, or supported yet.

And, pushing yourself harder or relying on willpower usually makes the cycle worse. What you actually need is to listen to your body and bring it back to a felt sense of safety.

In this gentle Havening meditation, I’ll guide you through soothing touch and a series of iffirmations — compassionate “what if” questions — to help you calm your nervous system and reconnect with your inner motivation.

This practice will support you in moving forward without force, at the pace of your body and in the direction of your truth.

In this episode:

  • How to Move Forward When You’re Stuck in Procrastination
  • Havening Exercise to Move Forward Without Force
    • Self-Havening explained
    • Guided Self-Havening to regulate your nervous system
    • Squeeze and Sigh
    • Get a Felt Sense of Your Procrastination
    • Iffirmations To Break the Cycle of Procrastination

Iffirmations To Break the Cycle of Procrastination

Iffirmations to accept where you are:

  • I’m stuck in a cycle of procrastination right now.
  • What if it’s okay to be stuck sometimes?
  • What if there’s nothing wrong with me for procrastinating?
  • What if this is just the state of my nervous system right now?
  • What if this procrastination actually makes sense in a way?
  • What would it be like to stop fighting with my procrastination?
  • What would it be like to soften my heart to myself in this moment?
  • Now, check in with yourself.
    • How does it feel to accept where you are right now?
    • [Note: please feel free to repeat the above iffirmations several more times before moving on to the next iffirmations.]
Iffirmations to Move Forward Without Force:
  • What if it’s safe for me to move forward now?
  • What if I can begin to do what I need to do?
  • What would it be like to open to the possibility of taking a step forward?
  • What if it’s okay to start small?
  • What if I don’t have to do everything, I can just take one step?
  • What if there’s a way forward that feels safe and true?
  • What if I can do it gently, one step at a time?
  • What if small steps are more powerful than I think?
  • What if I can trust the momentum that comes when I soften and start small?
  • What if clarity comes as I take gentle steps?
  • What if it’s safe to choose one small thing to focus on now?
  • Now, ask your body how you might move forward now.
    • Can you imagine a manageable next step?
    • Can you imagine yourself moving forward with softness?
    • What other support do you want or need to move forward authentically?

But here’s the thing: being honest with ourselves about what we’re actually feeling is where authentic healing begins.

Emotional honesty is also deeply regulating. When we stop pushing away what’s true and start gently acknowledging it, the nervous system begins to settle. The fog clears. And we come back into relationship with ourselves.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a soothing somatic meditation using Regenerating Images in Memory®—a practice designed to help you reconnect with your emotions, uncover hidden needs, and bring loving attention to the parts of you that have been quietly waiting to be seen.

This is not about getting stuck in your feelings—it’s about letting them move through you, so you can feel more clear, grounded, and whole.

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 toward it with compassion can shift everything. 🫶

From a somatic healing perspective, slowing down and attuning to what’s real in this moment isn’t just helpful… it’s essential. It interrupts the spirals, regulates the nervous system, and reconnects us with something steady and true inside ourselves.

If your system is craving calm, clarity, or simply a moment to be, this episode is an invitation to come home to your body—and discover the quiet kind of healing that lives in presence.

(A Somatic Meditation For Deep Self-Care) 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 meditation, we’ll gently explore the question: What do I need to feel supported? Not in theory, but in the lived reality of your body, right here and right now.

With gentle guidance, you’ll be invited to drop out of your thinking mind and into the wisdom of your body—to sense, feel, and truly receive the support you need in this moment.

Because true support doesn’t come from a checklist, it comes from attunement. And when we learn the art of inner support - listening deeply and responding with attuned care - we give ourselves the gift of being truly met.

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).

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.

  • Understanding The Cycle of Doomscrolling
  • How To Stop Doomscrolling
  • Somatic Meditation To Break Your Social Media Addiction (using Regenerating Images in Memory)

It will help you regulate, drop in, and come home to yourself in a way that is so simple yet profoundly effective.

Breathwork is one of the most powerful tools we have for nervous system regulation.

By consciously working with our breath in certain ways, we can send a signal to our brain and body that we are safe. This simple message allows our nervous system to move out of its stressed or reactive state and back into a state of functional, flexible balance.

In addition to working with the breath, this practice invites you to drop in and really feel your body. Bringing our awareness to the body in this way can quiet your mind and tone your vagus nerve, which is a key player in regulating the nervous system.

This sense of being swamped can cloud our judgment, limit our choices, and leave us feeling trapped in a cycle of stress and anxiety.

But what if, instead of trying to eliminate the overwhelming factors, we could change our relationship with the overwhelm itself? What if we could create space within ourselves to breathe, shift the feelings of overwhelm, and regain our clarity? This is the transformative power of today’s meditation!

Guided by nervous system specialist Raquel DuBois, this somatic practice invites you to explore how to change your relationship with overwhelm. Through this guided somatic practice, you will gently tune into your body to decrease your internal tension and find more clarity within.

By doing so, you create a sense of spaciousness within your nervous system, allowing you to step back and see your challenges through a more aligned and peaceful perspective. This newfound inner space provides the flexibility to navigate your overwhelm with more ease and resilience.

Episode timing:

00:00 - Create internal spaciousness to manage overwhelm

Iffirmations for when you feel stuck:

What if it’s okay that I’m feeling stuck right now?

What if it’s totally normal to sometimes feel stuck, frozen, or confused?

What would it be like to soften my heart to myself and this feeling in this moment?

What would it feel like to embrace all parts of myself, even the parts that feel stuck?

What would it be like to be more gentle with myself?

What if I’m more resilient, adaptable, and capable than I realize?

What if I can welcome this moment in life, even if it feels difficult?

What if I can stop fighting with this stuck feeling and instead understand it more compassionately?

What if I can see this stuck feeling as an invitation to go deeper?

What if this feeling actually makes sense in a way?

Sentence leads to understand why you’re stuck:

What if this feeling makes sense in a way because…

Because what I’m really feeling deep down is…

And what feels most stuck to me is…

What I really want or need when I feel this way is…

What I’m realizing now is…

How it feels to realize that is…

Giving voice to anything else that wants to be known until that feels complete.

Iffirmations to move forward:

What if it’s safe for me to begin to move out of these stuck patterns now?

What if it’s safe for me to move forward toward what I truly desire?

What would it be like to take a step forward?

What if I can simply move forward one step at a time?

What if one step at a time is enough?

What if I could move forward with greater ease and clarity than before?

What would it feel like to get unstuck and move forward without forcing or fighting?

What if I can find new, more aligned motivation within me that will help me move forward?

More and more, I’m open to the possibility of moving forward.

More and more, I’m moving forward one step at a time.

What would it feel like to embrace all parts of myself, even the parts that feel stuck?

What would it be like to be more gentle with myself?

What if I’m more resilient, adaptable, and capable than I realize?

What if I can welcome this moment in life, even if it feels difficult?

What if I can stop fighting with this stuck feeling and instead understand it more compassionately?

What if I can see this stuck feeling as an invitation to go deeper?

What if this feeling actually makes sense in a way?

Sentence leads to understand why you’re stuck:

What if this feeling makes sense in a way because…

Because what I’m really feeling deep down is…

And what feels most stuck to me is…

What I really want or need when I feel this way is…

What I’m realizing now is…

How it feels to realize that is…

Giving voice to anything else that wants to be known until that feels complete.

Iffirmations to move forward:

What if it’s safe for me to begin to move out of these stuck patterns now?

What if it’s safe for me to move forward toward what I truly desire?

What would it be like to take a step forward?

What if I can simply move forward one step at a time?

What if one step at a time is enough?

What if I could move forward with greater ease and clarity than before?

What would it feel like to get unstuck and move forward without forcing or fighting?

What if I can find new, more aligned motivation within me that will help me move forward?

More and more, I’m open to the possibility of moving forward.

More and more, I’m moving forward one step at a time.

Sometimes, we just feel a dissonance that our minds can’t quite grasp.

During times like these it’s important to remember that it’s a normal part of being human to not have all of the answers, and to sometimes feel unable to articulate the unspoken weight on our hearts.

It’s also important to note that sometimes when we feel off there’s something inside us that’s trying to speak to us or get our attention.

Instead of judging yourself or pushing those feelings down, join me for this Havening exercise to help soothe and recenter yourself when you’re feeling off.

In this Havening exercise for when you’re feeling off, we’re going to feel our feelings and listen to the language of our bodies as we allow ourselves to reconnect with our inner resilience. And we’ll begin to release the blocks and burdens that are weighing us down and holding us back.

May this havening exercise offer you a gentle refuge, a space to honor the whispers of your heart and find solace in the gentle rhythm of your breath.

Instead of judging yourself or pushing those feelings down, join me for this Havening exercise to help soothe and recenter yourself when you’re feeling off. We all have moments in life when we’re just feeling off. Sometimes, we just feel a dissonance that our minds can’t quite grasp. During times like these it’s important to remember that it’s a normal part of being human to not have all of the answers, and to sometimes feel unable to articulate the unspoken weight on our hearts. It’s also important to note that sometimes when we feel off there’s something inside us that’s trying to speak to us or get our attention. In this Havening exercise for when you’re feeling off, we’re going to feel our feelings and listen to the language of our bodies as we allow ourselves to reconnect with our inner resilience. And we’ll begin to release the blocks and burdens that are weighing us down and holding us back. Try it now! Feeling off?

(Somatic Exercise for Self-Kindness) In the journey of self-healing and emotional growth, there's a profound yet often overlooked principle that holds immense transformative power: self-kindness. In a world where we're taught to prioritize toughness over tenderness, being kind to ourselves can feel like a radical act.

But, when we cultivate self-kindness, our lives get better in every way!

By learning to treat ourselves with warmth and gentleness, we buffer the stresses of life and face our challenges with greater ease and grace.

Through the lens of self-kindness, we learn to approach our wounds and struggles with tender care and honest reflection.

We learn to bear witness to our emotions and internal experience with gentleness. Rather than judging and suppressing our emotions, we learn to hold safe space for ourselves with loving awareness and acceptance.

And, as we extend kindness to ourselves, we nurture a sense of trust and connection in our relationship with ourselves, which allows us to have a deeper connection to our own inner wisdom and authenticity.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you through a somatic exercise for cultivating more self-kindness in a soothing and powerful way. This exercise is deeply regulating, plus it will help you understand and embody more self-kindness.

Are you ready for a quick mood boost?

Havening touch has been shown to create Delta waves in the brain that stimulate the release of your brain’s happiness chemicals: dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin, so it’s a lovely technique to use when you need a quick mood boost!

This Havening exercise also has a regulating effect on your nervous system.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: learning to regulate your nervous system is the ultimate happiness hack!

Without us even realizing it, our nervous system state massively affects every aspect of our wellbeing - from our energy levels and motivations - to our immune, digestive and endocrine systems - to our perceptions, moods and emotions.

So, if you want to pave the way to a more harmonious, happy, and grounded life, nervous system regulation is foundationally important. We just can’t be our best selves when we’re consistently dysregulated.

Try this self-havening exercise to boost your mood and regulate your nervous system now!

Interestingly, our eyes and our gaze affect our nervous system. And when we spend our days looking at small details up close (like we do with our computers and phones), this can actually send stress signals to deep parts of our nervous system.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you through a quick exercise to soften your gaze that can effectively relax your nervous system and leave you feeling so much less tense and anxious.

Episode timing:

00:00 - How our eyes and gaze can stress our nervous system

01:50 - Quick exercise to relax your nervous system

05:00 - The ripple effect on your thoughts and feelings

06:34 - Another way to soften your attention

08:00 - Conclusion

The ripple effect on our thoughts and emotions

Because our eyes and gaze affect deep regions of our nervous system, they also affect our emotions, perceptions and thoughts at a subconscious level. So, when we shift our gaze to relax our nervous systems in this way, it can also help us get space from thoughts and feelings that we may have been hyper focusing on.

How did that exercise to relax your nervous system feel to YOU?

Thanks for joining me today and be sure to subscribe to Somatic Healing Meditations and remember to join me every Friday on this beautiful journey out of your head and into your more embodied and authentic self!

The data about the nervous system presented in this podcast is based on research by Dr. Les Fehmi that’s presented in his books Open Focus Brain and Open Focus Life. I highly recommend both of these books - the information and exercises presented in them are life changing!

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you through a Heart Centered Intention Setting Exercise so that you can align your goals, resolutions and intentions with the profound intelligence of your heart.

➡️➡️➡️ You can bring ANY goal, resolution or intention to this exercise to gain more clarity, alignment and support.

5 reasons to do heart centered intention setting:

1. Your heart knows your true north. Your heart is connected to your values, your authentic self as well as your greatest purpose, peace and joy. While our minds can convince us of anything, our hearts are connected to a bigger and truer sense of who we are.

2. Your heart’s wisdom will guide you on a path that aligns with who you truly are. Instead of chasing external validation or trying to become who we think we “should” be, our hearts guide us towards our deepest happiness and healing.

3. Setting heart centered intentions can help you create more harmony between your true inner values and external actions. Instead of chasing goals that leave you burned out and unfulfilled, the path of your heart can bring a profound sense of satisfaction and contentment.

4. When you follow the guidance of your heart, you’re more likely to show up in your life with vulnerability, authenticity and the courage to follow through. When you’re following an aligned path, more of your light, strength and truth can show up.

5. Without heart our lives can feel like it’s all just empty hustle. But on the path of the heart, your fulfillment and healing are at the forefront.

When we’re on a healing journey, looking at our emotional triggers can be profoundly useful.

When we know how to listen to them, our emotional triggers can guide us towards inner parts of ourselves that are calling out for healing.

If we know how to pay attention, they can tell us so much about our limiting beliefs, unprocessed emotions, past pain and subconscious blocks.

And learning to heal them deep at their subconscious roots can be one of the most transformational things we can do on our healing journey! Healing our triggers helps us connect with, integrate and heal the wounds from our past that have been affecting us and holding us back.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you on a deep inner journey to uncover (and heal) the roots of your triggers using an emotional processing technique called Regenerating Images in Memory.

00:00 - Emotional triggers show us what needs healing within

05:00 - Regenerating Images in Memory explained

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you through a Havening Exercise to calm down when triggered. This exercise is so powerful because it actually soothes the reactive parts of your emotional brain that get activated when emotional triggers come up for you.

Instead of judging ourselves, repressing our feelings, numbing or simply spiraling out, we can actually learn to work with our emotional triggers in ways that soothe the reactive parts of our brains, deepen our self understanding and even heal from the wounds from the past that are at the roots of our triggers.

This is Part 1 in a 2 part series called “Help, I’m Triggered!” and this exercise is best used when you’re actively triggered and need to calm down.
