A Wave Is Here: A Somatic Practice

A Wave Is Here is a gentle somatic practice for moments when emotion, stress, or overwhelm rises in the body. Through grounding, orienting, touch, and soft breath awareness, this short practice invites you to meet what is present without needing to fix it right away. Let this be a reminder: A wave is here. And I are here, too.

This practice is for Winnewave. Rises in the body. You do not need to fix the wave. You only need to meet it. Gently. Say it softly to yourself. A wave is here. And I am here too. Gently look around the space you are in. Without brushing. Name three things you can see. Let the eyes remind the body. I am you now. Press both feet into the floor. Feel the ground beneath you. You do not have to hold everything alone. Let the earth hold some of what you've been carrying. We will take a few rounds of breath together. If it feels comfortable. Place one hand on your belly. As you inhale. Feel the belly expand as it receives the breath. As you exhale. Feel the belly soften. As you release. Inhale, Receive and expand. Exhale, Soften and release. Inhale, Receive. Exhale. Release. One more time, Inhale. Receive. Exhale Soften. Let the breath return to its natural rhythm. Notice. You are breathing. You are here. The wave is moving. And you are still here. Take a slow breath in. And a gentle breath out. Say softly to yourself. A wave is here. And I am here too. Let that be enough for now.
