Coming Home To The Body

Por Michael Arnstein

O que você irá aprender

This course is designed for anyone who feels disconnected from their body - whether due to trauma, chronic illness, anxiety, burnout, or simply the stress of daily life. If the body hasn’t felt like a safe or trustworthy place to be, this is a space to begin gently rebuilding that relationship. Across our sessions, you’ll explore practical tools to regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your body’s signals, and create a sense of inner safety through grounded, trauma-informed practices. Each session includes a short teaching and a guided practice designed to meet you exactly where you are - no pressure to “fix” anything or force a breakthrough. You’ll be guided through: • Regulating breathwork to support your nervous system • Proprioceptive practices to build presence through movement and stillness • Interoceptive awareness to reconnect with physical sensations without overwhelm • Compassion-based embodiment to soften judgment and create a kinder inner environment • Mindful observation to shift from judgment and reactivity to curiosity • Visualization and nervous system anchoring to cultivate safety in a way that feels doable This course isn’t about perfection, performance, or pushing through. It’s about beginning to relate to your body with more gentleness, honesty, and care - even if it’s just one breath at a time.

Lição 1

Coming Back To The Breath

We begin this journey by reconnecting with something simple, steady, and always available: the breath. In this foundational practice, you’ll learn diaphragmatic breathing to gently downshift the nervous system and begin restoring a sense of safety in the body.

Lição 2

Contact And Proprioception

In this session, we explore gentle proprioceptive practices - bringing awareness to physical contact and support - to regulate the nervous system, reorient to the present moment, invite a sense of groundedness, and nurture an embodied presence.

Lição 3

Awakening The Senses

In this session, we deepen the practice of embodiment by using sensory awareness to anchor ourselves in the here and now. Through a simple three-step process - acknowledge, connect, and engage - you’ll begin to shift out of overthinking and into presence.

Lição 4

Touch and Movement

In this session, we explore gentle touch and movement as a way to reconnect with the body and offer it a sense of safety and presence. Through simple, intentional contact, you’ll begin to soothe areas that may feel tense, distant, or guarded. This practice is a quiet invitation to soften and be with yourself in a tender, grounded way.

Lição 5

Safety in Sensation

In this session, we explore how to gently be present with physical sensations and experiences without labeling, judging, or pushing away. This practice helps building trust with your body, learning that you don’t have to react or retreat - you can simply stay, notice, and be with what’s here.

Lição 6

Emotion In The Body

In this session, we explore how emotions show up in the body. Through gentle awareness and compassionate attention, you’ll begin to recognize emotional sensations not as threats, but as waves that can be noticed, named, and allowed to move through. This practice helps deepen emotional resilience and presence with what’s real.

Lição 7

Offering Compassion To The Body

In this session, we turn toward the parts of ourselves that feel hurt or overlooked. Through imagery, breath, and gentle contact, you’ll practice relating to your body as something worthy of kindness. This soft, quiet approach can begin to shift the inner tone from judgment to compassion, creating space for healing and trust to grow.

Lição 8

Creating A Ritual Of Care

In this final session, we weave together the elements of breath, contact, awareness, and compassion into a simple self-guided ritual. Rather than a performance, this is a practice of returning. You’ll be invited to create your own rhythm of connection, offering your body a consistent space of safety and care to return to over time.
