What does “survival mode” feel like in my life right now? What thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, or behaviors tell me that my nervous system may be feeling overwhelmed? 2. During the meditation, where did I feel the most sense of peace, comfort, or safety? Was there a particular image, feeling, memory, or moment that stood out to me? 3. What is one burden, worry, expectation, or responsibility I may be carrying that I am ready to hold more gently? How might I offer myself more compassion around this? 4. What helps me feel grounded, supported, and emotionally safe? Consider people, places, activities, spiritual practices, sensory experiences, or simple daily rituals. 5. If my nervous system could speak to me without judgment, what might it be trying to tell me right now? What needs, emotions, or messages am I being invited to listen to? 🌸 Bonus Reflection Prompt 6. What would change in my life if I truly believed that I do not have to earn rest, peace, or healing? How might I begin giving myself permission to slow down and care for myself more fully? “There are no right or wrong answers here. Allow yourself to write honestly, gently, and without judgment. Sometimes healing begins not with finding answers, but with creating space to listen to ourselves with compassion.” 💜 We value your feedback. Send us a text.
