De Stress Your Nervous System (Guided Somatic Meditation)

Stress settles into the body in ways we feel but rarely know how to release. When you’re overwhelmed or stretched thin, you deserve tools that bring real relief.
This guided somatic meditation offers a gentle, body-centered way to de-stress your nervous system and feel more relaxed again.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, we use self-havening, a touch-based somatic practice shown to calm the parts of the brain that activate during stress. This gentle touch supports your body in shifting out of high alert, which can help you regulate your nervous system and unwind the stress you’ve been carrying.

This practice can help your system soften, settle your thoughts, and reconnect you with your inner world in a kinder way. It’s especially helpful when you’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, or longing for a moment to feel safe inside your own body again.

Take this time to slow down, listen inward, and let your system unwind at a pace that feels right for you.
