In this episode I take you through a 5 minute somatic tracking meditation to calm your nervous system, and rewire your brain to create less pain!

Somatic tracking is the process of going into the sensations in the body and describing them neutrally.

This gives some space between the stimulus (sensation) and the typical response (some form of fear that leads to more pain).

When we can describe the sensations with different words, imagine the color or shape or texture, and just watching what is there instead of reacting to it, it actually trains the brain that the sensation is not important.  So it does not continue to produce it.

Listen in for a quick description of why we do somatic tracking to reprocess pain and emotions, and for the short meditation that you can use when you just have a few moments to practice!
