As someone with CPTSD, discovering somatic experiencing through this course has already been so helpful. It hits a part of me that talk therapy just cannot reach. It’s now becoming a great ally in my system of tools to calm my nervous system and heal the hurt.

This brief, yet powerful reiki meditation has become a daily routine for me. It is calming and leaves me feeling more in tune with my body, as well as leaving me feeling grounded. It’s the perfect meditation practice to start my mornings.
