In this short somatic awareness meditation, let's commence by directing our attention inward towards the SELF. Often, the body has coped with trauma by avoiding self-reflection. The nervous system, as a survival mechanism, has become accustomed to seeking safety outside of the body – focusing on external threats, perpetrators, bullies, or an unwelcoming society. Consequently, the survival brain has developed a core belief that validation and safety lie in the external world, often from those who may have caused harm. Now, I invite you to take a moment and turn your gaze inward. These meditative tracks are intentionally short because your nervous system has spent years, perhaps decades, habitually seeking refuge outside of yourself. It is crucial to reintroduce yourself gently to your own inner world. Start with these short sessions, allowing your brain to recognize it as a secure space, gradually encouraging it to desire more time within this nurturing inner sanctuary.

Transcript

How brilliant and valuable you are!

How brilliant and valuable you are!

Remind yourself of who you are.

I know you are dismissing my words right now.

That is what neglect and abuse does to us.

See your soul.

See how it shines when you show up.

See yourself in the mirror.

And remind yourself of who you have become.

Now,

Don't run away.

Truly pause and see your eyes.

Your divine essence.

See what someone took away from you.

And see a beauty which they couldn't stand to see.

See your light which couldn't shine over the darkness of their pettiness and crime.

Your light was a reminder of the darkness they carried inside.

Not you.

See that light again and remind yourself who you have become.

What you see is your inner brilliance shining so bright.

It is your soul.

It is who you are.

Remind yourself and don't look down.

You are strong enough to witness your own light.

You survived.

You can see your inner love for yourself.

Let me hold your hand and let's look up.

Your eyes are longing to see your inner spark.

And welcome back your innate love.

Remind yourself of who you have become.

It is divine love and pure beauty.

The beauty of your soul that still lives inside.

It never died.

It was silenced.

But it never died.

Do not hide.

Let's look up and meet yourself after all this time.

Meet your Teacher

I am having a very difficult time right now and I'm facing some buried trauma. Thank you for this. I'm not sure that I will be able to internalize it but hearing it did help.
