A Self-Soothing Practice

When we are experiencing a difficult emotion, we need inner resources to help us cope. One precious resource is the inner voice of your own empathetic witness. This is a compassionate and soothing presence that reminds you it is all right to feel exactly what you are feeling – and that you are always okay, just as you are. In this meditation, you will begin to cultivate that inner voice, so that it is always available for you, whenever you are going through something challenging.

This is the short practice included at the end of my talk, "Self-Soothing for Trauma and Trying Times." I wanted to also make it available as a stand-alone practice. For more context and explanation, you can always go back and listen to the talk. Be well!

So awesome 😎

Very relaxing & soothing meditation.
Your gentle voice is so effective for relaxation. Thank you. Namaste 🙏

This practice is a stellar meditation for anyone with PTSD or who is dealing with anxiety or any nervous system response. It guides you to a difficult place, safely, and asks you to focus on the emotion. Then it works with an inner child practice to begin to re-establish an inner sense of safety in that experience. Through this, you begin to deactivate your nervous system response and counter the physical and mental symptoms you are experiencing. Thank you Christine.
