Hello,
Welcome back.
I'm Sarah,
A somatic facilitator and coach,
Here to help you build nervous system resilience so you can live up to your fullest potential with ease and confidence.
I'll be guiding you through meditation.
Breath works.
Visualization and deep rest so that you can explore the pause between where you've been and where you're going.
Welcome to liminal space.
Take the next few moments to arrive into your space and settle into your skin.
Let your body start to melt into the surface beneath you.
Today is your invitation to center.
To recalibrate.
We'll be moving through the senses today to help you ground during overwhelm.
So start by orienting in your space.
Gently gaze around the room.
And name five things that you can see.
Maybe they catch your eye.
Try to do this without judging or analysing.
But just notice what steals your attention.
Maybe it's lights coming through a window.
Maybe a shadow.
Colour,
Texture.
Object.
You might find a tiny detail that you've never noticed before.
And take your time.
Before we move our awareness away from these five things that you can see.
Just allow them to repeat in your mind.
Now bring your conscious awareness to four things that you can feel.
Maybe the ground supporting you the temperature of the air touching your skin.
Maybe your hands resting on your thighs Whatever it is,
Really feel the sensation.
Simple,
Direct.
Signaling that you are here.
Before shifting our awareness,
Just feel the contact of those four things again.
And now let your awareness be dictated by your ears.
Start to notice three things that you can hear.
And they might be distant sounds.
Maybe subtle hums lingering in the air.
Or perhaps it's more of an inner rhythm that you can hear.
And just let those three sounds arrive and disappear in their own time.
Just listen.
Before moving on,
Remind yourself of those three sounds.
And now allow your nose to start sensing what it can smell.
Maybe there's something obvious.
Maybe it's difficult to find.
Maybe freshness or warmth.
Or perhaps something specific.
And just stay with these scents for a moment longer Lastly,
Recognise one thing you can taste.
Just simply notice what's present.
What's lingering in the mouth.
And then gently release any active sensing and just soften into the earth beneath you again.
No need to focus so carefully anymore Allow your awareness to rest.
You're just breathing.
Existing.
Do you feel more grounded and centered compared to when we began?
Perhaps a little steadier.
With more clarity of mind.
Less scattered and fragmented,
More whole and present.
Take a final breath to finish this practice.
Slowly breathing in Gentle pause.
And sigh out of the mouth,
Let everything go.
Rest well and I'll see you next week.
