Struggles with body image having been coming up a lot lately in sessions with clients, and it’s had me thinking about different ways to start processing and combating negative body image. It’s something everyone faces at different stages of life, for various reasons, but it’s not something that needs to hold you back forever. If you struggle with body image, you’re not alone. Hopefully this episode can start to shed light on various ways to start thinking about it, and different tools you can start implementing to feel better in the body you’re in. Loving yourself into change, and loving yourself along your journey is always a good place to start. For additional resources, feel free to email me ([email protected]) with questions or to schedule a call. And/or check out some of these book suggestions: “The body keeps score,” “Anatomy of the Spirit,” and “Women, food, and God.”

I’ve loved receiving requests from some of you for various kinds of meditations you want to see on this podcast. (I apologize for taking so long to record new episodes, and appreciate your patience!) This episode is a long overdue response to one of those requests, and I hope you find it helpful. It’s designed to be a great starting point for you to practice getting more in touch with your intuition and what it feels like to you to know your truth, even when it’s hard.

This is a grounding meditation that combines deep breathing and personal reflection in order to support you in feeling your feelings, grounding yourself into the moment and into your body, and with being open to the ways you might be growing and changing at this time.

A short, sweet, simple practice for stress-relief and embodiment.
