Loving Touch Meditation
by Allie Greene
This meditation combines mindfulness, breath, and gentle self-touch to bring comfort to the body and ease to the mind. You’ll explore how loving touch can help regulate the nervous system and open the heart to deeper self-connection. At the beginning, I mention “self-havening.” To clarify, Havening is a specific trauma therapy technique, and while this practice uses similar nurturing gestures, it is not part of the Havening method or its therapeutic protocols. The movements and touch used here come from somatic and mindfulness-based self-soothing practices designed to help you reconnect with your body, feel grounded, and cultivate compassion toward yourself. My hope is that this practice supports you in finding calm and presence in a gentle, accessible way.
