HACK your CALM (with the Vagus Nerve)

Solar Plexus Meditation

In this episode we explore the Solar Plexus, Part 3: of a 7 part series through meditation.  The Solar Plexus is the heart of our self-esteem and self-worth. The Solar Plexus is located between the naval and the base of the sternum, and the color associated with the Solar Plexus is yellow.   This mediation invites you to explore your will power and confidence and encourages you to let go of self doubt, limiting beliefs, and fear.  Using affirmations, mindful breathing, body awareness and visualization, my hope is that you can move through your day with a new found confidence that allows you to shine. https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/56285df5-51a3-4a1e-ae31-17f5bce01008/ Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605095/fan_mail/new]

"I know everything about my trauma- So why am I still stuck?

What happens when you have done all the research, understand all your patterns, and can explain your trauma better than anyone- but nothing seems to change? Trauma isn't just a story held in the mind, it's an experience carried in the body.  Sometimes the next step isn't to learn more. It might just be to feel more. In this episode, I explore the risk of becoming an expert in your trauma and forgetting that safety might be the only thing that can get us to feel normal again.  It's important that the imprint our experiences leave on us don't hold us back from the present moment.  That is what I love about somatic work.  You don't have to relive your experiences, you just get to create new ones that make your body feel safe and then you can begin to heal.  I hope you enjoy this episode. https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/5dda51f8-8388-3b50-8373-4be6fbf6aa7f/ Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605095/fan_mail/new]

A Meditation for the ADHD Brain

I wrote this meditation designed for the ADHD mind.  When your mind feels busy, scattered, or pulled in a dozen different directions, this short, simple meditation offers a place that you can slow down, reground, release mental clutter and find a sense of calm without forcing concentration.   There is no pressure to "clear" your mind or sit perfectly still.  Instead simply noticing where your attention is and gently return it to the present moment with kindness.   https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/bbf931a3-266d-45bc-842d-860eb77c3b40/ Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605095/fan_mail/new]
