Healing Embrace Meditation

Nurture yourself with the following healing embrace meditation. A simple way to comfort yourself, particularly when you’re feeling stressed, sad, lonely, angry, anxious etc. is to give yourself a caring and healing touch, hold, hug, or embrace. Physically comforting yourself activates the parasympathetic nervous system to help you calm down and feel safe. This practice also regulates oxytocin, a feel-good hormone (a.k.a “the cuddle chemical”) and increases your awareness of the body, acceptance.
