Somatic Healing Meditations

• Meditation for Secure Attachment with Yourself (Because Self-Love Isn’t a Feeling. It’s a Relationship)

  What if self-love isn’t something you feel… but something you create? 💫 In this episode, we explore a completely different way of understanding self-love. It’s a view rooted in developmental psychology, somatic healing, and the attachment patterns that shape our inner world. You’ll learn how the four-step attachment cycle becomes a powerful, research-backed blueprint for creating secure attachment with yourself. Even if you didn’t grow up with consistent emotional attunement, your body can still learn what it feels like to be truly seen, supported, and loved from the inside out. We’ll talk about why so many of us struggle to feel safe with ourselves, how to gently re-pattern those old dynamics, and what it means to create a felt sense of inner trust and belonging. 🌱 Then, I’ll guide you through a somatic meditation based on the attachment cycle using Regenerating Images in Memory®. This is a deeply intuitive process that helps you attune to your real needs and respond with care. 💗 If you want to move from thinking about self-love to feeling implicitly loved, this episode is for you.

• About That Feeling You’re Avoiding … A Gentle Meditation for Healing and Emotional Release

  We all avoid our feelings sometimes … but even when we’re not actively thinking about them, those emotions don’t disappear. They stay with us - in our bodies, in our breath, in our inner dialogue - quietly shaping our experience from underneath the surface. This gentle somatic meditation is an invitation to stop running and start listening. You’ll be guided to turn toward what you’ve been holding inside and meet it with compassion and care - creating space for insight, integration, and emotional release. Using a powerful emotional healing technique called Regenerating Images in Memory® (RIM), this practice helps you connect deeply with what’s really going on within you in a way that can facilitate a deep emotional release. RIM works with your body and imagination in a deeply intuitive way, supporting healing that feels organic, safe, and surprisingly relieving. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or just sensing that something’s unresolved beneath the surface, this episode is for you. Let this be a soft place to begin again. 🎧 Press play when you’re ready to gently feel what’s here - and release what no longer needs to be held.
