Coming Home To Your Body
With Michael ArnsteinThis course is for anyone who feels disconnected from their body, whether because of trauma, chronic illness, anxiety, burnout, or the everyday weight of stress. If your body hasn't felt like a safe or trustworthy place to be, this is a gentle place to begin rebuilding that relationship. Over 8 sessions, you'll learn practical, trauma-informed tools to regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your body's signals, and build a sense of inner safety. Each session includes a short teaching and a guided practice designed to meet you where you are, with no pressure to fix anything or force a breakthrough. You'll be guided through: -Breathwork to calm and regulate your nervous system -Proprioceptive practices that help you feel grounded through movement and stillness -Interoceptive awareness to reconnect with physical sensations without overwhelm -Compassion-based embodiment to soften self-judgment -Mindful observation to shift from reactivity to curiosity -Visualization and anchoring practices that make safety feel doable This course isn't about perfection, performance, or pushing through. It's about relating to your body with more gentleness, honesty, and care, one breath at a time.
