When You Feel Overwhelmed In Perimenopause

During perimenopause your body can be more sensitive to stressors and nervous system regulation is even more important. When you feel overwhelmed, take a moment to pause with this guided meditation through breathing and somatic practice. Allow yourself to slow down, to take a breath and to connect with your body. Only when you feel safe in your body can you expand your capacity for pleasure and aliveness. You can do this anywhere and at any time you need it.
