This is a somatic inquiry into the uncomfortable or anxious energy in the gut that is often at the root of this need to get away. Why is here it? What does it mean? Can we welcome and get to know this energy?

Beautiful voice &tone and flowing message, thanks Lynn

I woke up with the realization there has been an energy/ pit in my gut for as long as I have memory. This was an interesting and helpful inquiry to help me start feeling more curious and receptive to it vs experiencing dread and pushing it down

Interesting! The energy changed..at the beginning, it was volatile, rough, angry, like a writhing snake. The longer I observed it, it morphed in a sort of vortex, bermuda triangle, becoming more smooth, trying to suck up all the rough objects. This was really a surprising exercise, thank you! Even the pain in my upper and lower abdomen subsided a bit.

wonderful! Thank you so much for the gift of your imagery, medicine, presence❤️

Truly different than anything I have experienced on Insight Timer. Reminds me that Shadow awareness is an invaluable tool for healing and recovery. Thank you

Exactly was I was looking for! Very healing for the gut or anywhere you have an energy cyst or pain.

I started this meditation because I just happened to come across it on a morning when I was feeling all kinds of discomfort in my gut - very disassembled, and unidentifiable, but disturbing and disruptive as it always tends to be. I followed the meditation and then remained still for quite some time - maybe 8 minutes.... And then very slowly it seemed as though some heat was traveling out below my knees out through the bottom of my feet. After a while the discomfort in my gut was significantly reduced. I could still feel tenderness in the bottom left corner of my gut, like a gentle reminder that it can still return at any time. I hope that the next few meditations that I do will help me release it completely.

Actually, by the time that it’s taken me to finish writing this, I no longer even feel that tenderness. This meditation has transformed my body and my wellbeing! I am astounded. Thank you so much for sharing this powerful meditation with us!🙏🏻

So helpful. Thank you.

Just what I needed. Thank you. Are there more similar meditations that you do for the gut? Thk you again.

Very interesting. I'll try it again, feels like there is more to understand here... Thank you

Ah-mazing seriously awesome 👏🏻

Really very good. I'll be using this often. Thank you!

Really interesting to just look to see if there is energy in my abdomen and find it there. Will try this again to see any changes. 🙏🏽

Very informative and the speaker is kindly with her choices of words.

This could be a beneficial daily practice.

Very centering I liked that her voice had a smile in it. Will return.

Supportive exploration, well paced, open, discovering.

Very helpful. I feel a lot less compulsion to hide and run. The pressure on my stomach eased downward for a little bit. I am more willing now to attend to this thing I have been avoiding. Thank you.

Very practical meditation, guided skillfully and simply. Bookmarking to come back to when emotions are a little less neutral than they were tonight.
