Deep Somatic Healing For Pain

Together we will bring regulation into your nervous system. We will support the adrenals and the brainstem to start. Then we will support a place of pain in the body and a neutral place and pendulate between the two.

Transcript

So we're going to do a practice of bringing regulation into the kidney adrenals and the brainstem.

And then we're going to work with some pain.

So getting in a comfortable position,

Either sitting up or preferably laying down if that's comfortable for you.

And then go ahead and close your eyes.

We're going to start with some breathing.

And we're going to do four deep breaths in through the nose and we'll hold at the top for a moment or two.

And then have a long exhale out the mouth,

Just at your own pace.

So breathing in through the nose,

Holding at the top for a moment or two,

And then a long exhale out your mouth.

And then three more of those just at your own pace in through the nose.

Hold at the top a moment or two,

And then a long exhale out your mouth.

And then when you're complete,

Just allowing allowing the natural rhythm of the breath to come in.

Notice how that breath just comes right in on its own.

There's nothing that you have to do.

And so we're going to just connect with our heart for a moment.

The heart is the center of your connection with yourself.

So just bringing your thoughts,

Your awareness to your heart.

And we'll support the heart for just a very short time here.

And then we're going to come down to the right adrenal gland.

So the right adrenal sits on top of the right kidney on the right side.

It's a little bit like a pyramid shape about the size of a quarter.

And we're going to bring support to the right adrenal,

Just bringing our thoughts there.

Right adrenal,

Right adrenal,

Bringing care to the right adrenal.

Those adrenals just work so hard to keep us safe,

To keep us ready.

So we're just giving that right adrenal a chance to maybe rest a little bit here.

Supporting the right adrenal.

Yeah,

That's it.

Just allowing your body knows exactly what to do.

There's nothing you have to do.

It's fine to drift in and out.

Right adrenal.

And then really gently,

Just with ease,

We'll head over to the left adrenal.

Left adrenals on that left kidney.

It's your back body.

It's a little bit like a half moon or crescent shape.

And the same size,

About the size of a quarter.

Left adrenal,

Left adrenal,

Bringing our thoughts to the left adrenal.

You might notice a little bit more spaciousness coming into your back body there where the kidneys and the adrenals are.

For some people,

It's a really comforting feeling,

Just feeling the breath moving in and out of that area.

Left adrenal,

Supporting the left adrenal.

And whatever your body's doing,

That's exactly what your body is meant to do right now.

Supporting the left adrenal.

That's it.

Left adrenal.

And then just taking your time.

When you're ready,

We're going to head up to the brainstem.

So we're going to go all the way up the spinal cord to the very top of the spinal cord,

Right where it meets your brain.

And we'll be at the brainstem.

And we'll be here for a little bit,

Just bringing support to the brainstem,

The center of the autonomic nervous system of the fight,

Flight,

And freeze.

Supporting the brainstem,

Brainstem,

Brainstem,

Bringing our thoughts to the brainstem,

Brainstem,

Supporting the brainstem.

You might notice your jaw starting to soften a little bit,

Or maybe the throat opening up or the belly.

And you may not notice those things.

You might be having other experiences.

And whatever you're experiencing,

It's all welcome here.

Everything about you is welcome.

All your parts,

The young parts,

And the adult parts,

And everything you're experiencing.

All right.

So we're going to shift to working with some discomfort or pain in the body.

So we'll start with having you notice just one area where you feel some discomfort or pain right now.

So I'd like you to bring your awareness to that area.

And don't pick the,

If you're in a lot of pain,

Don't pick the most difficult pain right now.

If this is the first time to do this practice,

Yeah,

Maybe pick a lesser pain if possible.

So finding a place of discomfort or pain.

And we're going to go to that place and bring support.

If you can put your hand on that place and you want to do that,

Feel free.

If it's too far to reach,

Then don't worry about it.

So we're going to support this place of discomfort or pain.

We're just going to go there together.

And now I'd like you to bring your attention to a place,

One place in the body that feels comfortable right now.

So finding a place in your body that feels comfortable,

And we're going to bring our attention there.

If your hand can go there,

That's great.

If not,

Just resting your attention on a spot on the body that feels comfortable right now.

Could be the tip of your nose or the tip of one of your toes.

That's it.

And now we're going to now we're going to gently go back to the place of discomfort or pain.

So just gently taking yourself back there.

And we'll go there together and support this area.

You might just allow some softening to happen around the discomfort or the pain.

Just one spot,

Just allowing the breath to come in there or surround the pain or the discomfort.

A gentle breath.

And now we're going to go back to the spot of comfort.

Go back to the spot of comfort and bring our support,

Our thoughts there.

And now we're going to notice the place of comfort and the place of discomfort at the same time.

We're just going to be curious about both of them.

So the place of comfort and the place of discomfort.

We're just going to bring our support to both of those places at the same time together.

Good.

And then we're going to just bring our awareness down to our feet.

Just noticing your ankles,

Your feet,

The tips of your toes,

Bringing all your attention to your attention to your feet.

Now,

Just perhaps letting your feet connect with the earth,

Feet and ankles.

And then we're just going to rest in a healing silence together.

Just letting what we did just titrate into your system.

And then I'll say a little something at the end,

So you'll know that we're at the end of our time.

So we're just going to rest in a healing silence now.

And then as you feel ready,

We can begin to transition,

Bringing your awareness to your eyes.

If your eyes have been closed,

When you feel ready,

You can go ahead and open your eyes.

And I wish you a lovely evening or rest of your day.

Thank you for doing this practice with me.
