Welcome.
This is a meditation.
On your nervous system's healing journey.
You've arrived in a safe space.
And created a time.
Just for you.
To pause.
And listen to your body.
This is your time to begin.
Or continue.
Your journey of healing.
If you are here.
Perhaps you have carried weight.
In your nervous system for a long time.
Maybe experiences from the past,
Still live in your body.
In your breath.
Your muscles.
And your thoughts.
This is not weakness.
It is wisdom.
And it's part of being human.
Your body has been doing its best.
To protect you.
But today,
Together.
We will invite your nervous system.
To soften.
And regulate.
To release what is ready to be released.
And to create space for safety.
And peace.
Thank you for joining me.
Let's begin.
Find a position that feels supportive for you.
You might lie down with a blanket.
Or sit upright.
With your back against something solid.
Let your body know.
It does not have to hold itself up alone.
That it's okay to rest.
And be carried.
When you're ready.
Gently close your eyes.
And take a slow,
Deep breath.
And through your nose.
And release it.
With a soft sigh.
Through your mouth.
Again.
Inhale deeply.
Filling your lungs.
Chest.
Belly.
And exhale slowly.
Letting tension.
Begin to melt away.
One more time.
For heathen safety.
And breathe out,
Release.
Now.
Let your breath find its natural rhythm.
Notice its rise and fall.
And the gentle wave.
That moves through your body.
With each.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Bring your attention.
To the surface beneath you.
Feel its support.
The ground is holding you.
Gravity has you.
And you do not need to do anything.
Because you are supported here.
Now begin to bring awareness.
To the sensations in your body.
Notice them without any judgment.
Is there a tightness in your chest?
Or a heaviness in your shoulders.
Sometimes it can be a restlessness.
In your leg.
Whatever is here.
Just notice it.
You do not need to fix it.
Simply allow it to be seen.
Now imagine a soft warm light and train your body with each inhale.
This white light.
Carry safety.
And compassion.
To help you heal.
As you breathe it in.
Allow the light to move toward any areas of tension.
Let it rest there.
Like a gentle hand.
Saying,
I see you.
And you are safe.
On each exhale.
Imagine your body releasing the weight.
It no longer needs.
Releasing memories.
Patterns.
And the armor that once protected you.
But now feels too heavy to carry.
Let's focus now.
On your nervous system itself.
This intricate network of signals.
That runs through your body.
Imagine your spine.
Glowing with soft light.
From the base of your skull.
Down your back.
All the way to your tailbone.
See this column.
Of healing energy.
From here.
Nerves extend outward.
Like branches.
Connecting to your arms.
Legs.
And your entire being.
See this light.
Traveling along each pathway.
Softening.
Soothing.
And repairing.
Every inhale.
Strengthens this light.
And every exhale.
Clears away.
What is no longer serving you.
Now place one hand gently on your heart.
And one on your belly.
Feel the rise and fall of your breath.
These two centers.
Your heart and your belly.
Are anchors of safety.
Whisper silently to yourself,
I am here.
Safe.
And healing.
Notice how your body responds to these words.
Perhaps your shoulders drop.
Your breath deepens.
And a small sense of peace.
Begins to spread.
If emotions arise during this practice,
It's okay.
Tears.
Size.
Maybe even some resistance.
They are all part of the release.
Your nervous system is unwinding.
One layer at a time.
There's no rush.
Healing happens.
At your body's pace.
Not your minds.
Now I invite you to bring to mind.
An image of yourself.
At a younger age.
A time when your nervous system was overwhelmed.
See this younger you clearly.
Notice what they are wearing.
Notice how they are standing or sitting.
Most importantly,
Notice what they need.
Gently.
In your imagination.
Walk toward them.
Kneel down to their level.
And place the comforting hand on their shoulder.
Or give them a hug.
If they want one.
Whisper to them.
I am here now.
You're not alone anymore.
And you are safe.
Feel your nervous system soften.
As you bring comfort to this younger self.
You are re-educating your body.
What safety feels like.
Take a slow breath in.
And exhale it out.
Again.
Inhale safety.
And exhale,
Release.
Now imagine.
Your entire body.
Wrapped in a cocoon of gentle light.
The light is warm.
Protective.
And deeply healing.
This light surrounds you completely.
Inside this cocoon of light.
Your nervous system can rest.
Not be on guard.
Or feel like it has to fight or flee.
It can simply be.
Repeat silently to yourself.
My nervous system.
Is learning safety.
I release what no longer serves me.
And trust my body's wisdom.
To heal.
Now see the cocoon.
Begin to dissolve into your body.
Merging with every single cell.
This light becomes part of you.
And your nervous system remembers this feeling of calm.
It has learned the pathway back here.
And you can return here whenever you need.
Take another deep breath in.
Hold for a moment.
And exhale with a soft sigh.
Again.
Inhale compassion.
And exhale,
Release.
One more time.
Inhale peace.
And exhale,
Healing.
Notice how your body feels now compared to when we began.
Perhaps lighter.
Or softer.
Or simply more aware.
Trust.
That whatever shift has happened.
Is enough.
Even the smallest release.
Is a step toward wholeness.
As we close.
I invite you to place both hands over your heart.
And feel the steady rhythm there.
Your heart has carried you through everything.
And your nervous system.
Has worked tirelessly.
To keep you safe.
Thank your body.
For all it has done.
And whisper to yourself.
I honor my healing journey.
And I am safe to rest.
And grow.
When you are ready.
Gently bring your awareness back into the room.
Feel the surface beneath you.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
And take one last nourishing breath with me.
Inhaling.
And exhaling.
Slowly begin to open your eyes when you feel ready.
Knowing you can return here.
Anytime you like.
That you are healing.
Growing.
And whole.
Right now.
Thank you for joining me today.
Namaste.
