-- Somatic Meditation To Release Trauma Stored In The Body --
Maybe you’ve tried guided meditation in the past, but found yourself getting restless and bored.
This somatic meditation to release trauma stored in the body focuses on releasing emotions stored in the muscles rather than in your head.
The fact is that stress and trauma are stored in your nervous system -- not just your conscious mind.
And while therapy for trauma can yield many profound insights, true trauma healing has to incorporate your body for lasting, long term relief.
If you typically dislike meditation, find it difficult to sit still and focus or get bored easily, give somatic meditation a try.
Those restless feelings are often related to activation in your sympathetic nervous system -- your stress response, also known as “fight or flight.”
When we tap into sensory awareness through somatic meditation, your body is able to discharge the impulse to run, which in turn calms your mind and body.
The result is less pain, stress and tension overall. Trauma symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fatigue and low motivation often diminish as well.
So check out this somatic meditation to release trauma stored in the body and let me know how it goes for you.
Remember, bringing your body out of a trauma state is a practice -- not a one and done kind of thing. So the more often you implement this guided meditation, the deeper your healing will be.

How did this meditation go for you? Let me know your experience in the comments below.

@denise2169 3 года назад

Please see my comment below, as I love this meditation. The only thing is that I find the music, crickets and bird sounds highly distracting and annoying. Thanks.

@gerid7026 3 года назад

Can’t hear things around me because of the background sounds in the video.... it would be better to have no such accompanying audio!

@briganfree3656 2 года назад

I really like the sound track with the birds and crickets. Could you please post a link. It was very relaxing and uplifting at the same time.

@wtfhappenedtome 2 года назад

This seems like a wonderful meditation, but I can’t do it because of the multiple sounds in addition to your voice. Music, birds, crickets… It’s way too overstimulating. Do you have a version with just your voice? That would be amazing. Or maybe just your voice and the background music which sounds very soothing.

Every time I do this meditation I cry. It’s almost as if I get transported to being 10 again, playing in my room with dolls as the sun shines on my skin, not a care or worry in the world. Just being in the present moment. I wish life could feel that way all the time. Growing up is so hard. Maybe if I keep practicing I can achieve that feeling constantly in my adult life. Either way, thank you for this video. ♥️

@GoodVibesOnly1914 Год назад

When i first started meditating i would tears would burst out of nowhere for the 1st 10 times or so. Probably bottled up emotions over 30yrs of being a "tough guy" after years of meditating now, I've pretty much worked through all that stuff, now all I have to deal with is the little annoyances that got lodged from that day. I've also experienced vivid weird feelings from being a child. Meditation is so interesting

@San-vv9uv 3 года назад

I'm so happy and blessed to have stumbled upon you. You have an unparalleled understanding of the connection between my trauma and the ailing body I've been struggling with for nearly a year now, something over a dozen doctors simply termed as anxiety-induced and moved on. This meditation helped abate the sense of powerlessness I've been feeling - my aching chest and my erratic heartbeat tend to suck my attention inward completely, leaving me hurtling down a circular, anxious path, and making my muscles even more tense. God bless you and your wisdom!

Your ability to calm ( so necessary for the anxious sensitive bods) and reassure with not only your invaluable knowledge but also the tone of your delivery is quite outstanding. My personal story is long, as I am in my late 60 s and have suffered from a child with trauma and consequently have led an anxious life. I would love to see these practices taught in schools across the world. I wish you every success in the future with this quite remarkable work. A grateful English granny.

Fantastic. Thank you so much.

@CarrieCallingham 7 месяцев назад

I lost my daughter to suicide a little over three years ago. The trauma of finding her in the way we did has weighed heavily on my life. It wasn’t until hearing you explain today how your head and body can disconnect when trauma happens that things finally make sense. I have felt so far away from what happens around me since that day. My mind is always somewhere else. Discovering how to meditate has been a life saver, the moments of peace it has given me when the pain was so great have gotten me through some sleepless nights but I never realised i needed to work on this part. After I followed your video today I had a feeling I haven’t had since and that was I was in my home, looking at my messy floor, wearing this blue jumper and I am here. I’m struggling to keep hold of the feeling but I remember now that’s how it wa and how it should be and I’m gonna work on it. thank you 🌈

@giorgiaalexanderactingothe1892 2 года назад

Sukie you are a God send. I found this video after searching for body scan meditations. The first one I did was a classic with the eyes closed. Honestly it was a little triggering. They didn’t take the steps to talk about trauma. Keeping eyes open for this was refreshing. I’m interested in somatic care. I got very anxious in the beginning because I noticed how bad my neck hurts. It’s weird how when you’re traumatized you don’t notice how much pain you’re in until you stop and focus, and that can be overwhelming. I’m talking about physical pain in this instance but actually this happens with emotional pain too. Anyway I saw it through and when you said to take any movements we felt we needed I ended up laying down and randomly ended up hugging myself and crying? I just told myself I’m safe. And then by the end, my neck was a little less stiff. I’m going to try to do this more often. Thanks so much 🦋 I subscribed!

Loved the background sounds of crickets birds and musical strains. Found these steadying and available while staying with internal sensations and visual spaces. This felt new, simply attending to my own cues in those realms. Reckon each time doing this would be new. Also found it engaging, and a little scary, trying to stay with your gentle directions. Attention runs around like a fox chasing a rabbit. Ultimately, carried by curiosity and deep interest in this practice you have insight too lead others through. Many thanks.

First off, I appreciate anyone putting out videos for free and an attempt to help others, thank you!

very smart meditation. Trauma makes us dissociate, so we are so comfortable meditating with eyes closed. That is the norm. But with eyes open, I can actually feel the connections being created with my environment. This is a profoundly therapeutic meditation. The opposite of dissociative meditation. It's a somatic and connecting meditation that helps reinforce the here and now, the safety and the presence vs the memory of the trauma of the past. Just wonderful. Thank you.
