-- Somatic Meditation To Release Trauma Stored In The Body --

Maybe you’ve tried guided meditation in the past, but found yourself getting restless and bored.

This somatic meditation to release trauma stored in the body focuses on releasing emotions stored in the muscles rather than in your head.

The fact is that stress and trauma are stored in your nervous system -- not just your conscious mind.

And while therapy for trauma can yield many profound insights, true trauma healing has to incorporate your body for lasting, long term relief.

If you typically dislike meditation, find it difficult to sit still and focus or get bored easily, give somatic meditation a try.

Those restless feelings are often related to activation in your sympathetic nervous system -- your stress response, also known as “fight or flight.”

When we tap into sensory awareness through somatic meditation, your body is able to discharge the impulse to run, which in turn calms your mind and body.

The result is less pain, stress and tension overall. Trauma symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fatigue and low motivation often diminish as well.

So check out this somatic meditation to release trauma stored in the body and let me know how it goes for you.

Remember, bringing your body out of a trauma state is a practice -- not a one and done kind of thing. So the more often you implement this guided meditation, the deeper your healing will be.

wow i didn’t expect just straight tears the whole time. i didn’t realize how afraid i was of my own bedroom even though there’s actually no active threat

[sabinipanini]

Every time I do this meditation I cry. It’s almost as if I get transported to being 10 again, playing in my room with dolls as the sun shines on my skin, not a care or worry in the world. Just being in the present moment. I wish life could feel that way all the time. Growing up is so hard. Maybe if I keep practicing I can achieve that feeling constantly in my adult life. Either way, thank you for this video. ♥️

The "noises" that everyone complain about actually helped me very well during the parts where I had to focus on sounds, I actually even thought she used them on purpose. But obviously people will have to be annoying and ungrateful.

I for my part want to thank you so much for this video and knowledge about trauma release because it is life changing 💗

[FreshAgenda]

This is becoming a daily video for my recovery. I find mindfulness meditation to be difficult because it often causes me to have anxiety. This does not... More of this please!

I first did this meditation at work.
I closed my eyes immediately and was upset when you said to keep them open 😭 I noticed it was because I didn’t want to be where I was so looking around there was nothing I wanted to look at except this one spot on the wall that had the color gold on it. I stared at that spot. I cried when I realized I didn’t want to be there and just wanted to go home. And then when I came into the body more I noticed I was judging you 😅 Sukie but it was because I was so uncomfortable in my body. I continued with the meditation and followed your guide when you said to move the attention away from the area of tension in the body. I ended up feeling so much better at the end, eyesight cleared up. I loved it and your voice, thank you so much! I subscribed to your channel. I’m so glad I found you.

I started crying, bc for the first time in two years I had some relief from the ache inside of me. Thank you so much, I will be repeating your meditations❤️

[ehh]

My first time doing a sensory meditation & I can def say I love closing my eyes because it take la away any threat I feel there is but this video helped me to understand that I need to get more in tune with my environment. I need to understand that I am safe.

Thank you.

I'm so happy and blessed to have stumbled upon you. You have an unparalleled understanding of the connection between my trauma and the ailing body I've been struggling with for nearly a year now, something over a dozen doctors simply termed as anxiety-induced and moved on. This meditation helped abate the sense of powerlessness I've been feeling - my aching chest and my erratic heartbeat tend to suck my attention inward completely, leaving me hurtling down a circular, anxious path, and making my muscles even more tense. God bless you and your wisdom!

[Kuruflower]

I tried your vagus nerve exercise video first, then this one, and seriously I have come back. It's been about 4 months since I was last present. Even if it does not last, this is such a blessing. I will do this again. Thank you. Sharing with others. 🙏❤️🙏

[jknell]

Success: This is the third time I've done this meditation but the first time I was able to back away from my PTSD cramping by focusing on my goofy Christmas Bird-Elf's red hat on the windowsill.. Suddenly, I was in the present and that contrast was astounding! Thank you, Sukie.

[liametcalfe]

This is the best meditation I have ever done. I had suppressed so much of my trauma and really struggle to process my emotions sometimes. I haven’t cried in years and this video gently triggered a much needed release of emotions, which resulted in crying. Thank you so much ❤

[celestiaIy]

Every single time I finish this meditation it feels like I'm seeing the world through new eyes. Thank you immensely for what you've done here 💛

[kateherbert]

I just tried this and had the most incredible emotional/physical response. I had a welling of feeling through my abdomen and chest that seemed to pull emotion up and out. Wow! I am amazed by the simplicity and power of this meditation! Thank you 😊

[ATMAN.YOGINI]

keeping the eyes open makes me so anxious and stressed and even angry... so many times i want to just comfortably close my eyes and then be able to feel. then i noticed why my state of mind is so different on and off the mat! i can't focus on internal feeling when eyes are open... T..T hopefully doing this meditation more often could help me with dealing with life with eyes open T^T

today is day 2 of this meditation. A traumatic memory surfaced today after the neck exercise. Clearly this is therapy and I have no words to thank you enough for sharing this jewel. When memories surfaced, they get released with SM and SE

[abushumays]

After doing this meditation a few times (thank you very much!) I just suddenly realized my entire life is a somatic mediation

[devanjk]

Thank you so much for this. I struggle with ptsd and often memories will consume me and causes me to breakdown and I can’t stop crying bc all I can think about are the memories. Every time that happens, I come to this video and by the end of it, I am no longer overwhelmed with painful memories. I’m able to set them aside until I see my emdr therapist. Thank you.

[CathyConneff]

This was the first time I’ve been able to meditate without sobbing in years.

I actually feel noticeably more relaxed. Thank you x

[lolatruitt]

I am so grateful the universe sent me to To you because when I was doing meditation I always feel that I’m holding trauma and grief on the inside and it manifests of my life in many different ways !
Thank you for what you’re doing
