Mindful Mondays With Ashley Bentley: The Quiet Art of Returning Home to Your Body

November Neuroscience for the Neurodivergent Nervous System


In this deeply grounding episode, we explore the gentle, transformative world of somatic regulation - the bottom-up path that helps a neurodivergent nervous system feel safe, calm, and connected again.


You’ll learn why the body is often the first place we must return to when the mind becomes overwhelmed, and how sensation, rhythm, movement, touch, breath, and stimming can become powerful allies for healing. Together, we’ll explore how widening your gaze, adjusting your posture, shaking out accumulated stress like animals do in the wild, and allowing intuitive movement can shift you from dysregulation into presence.


With insights from neuroscience, mindfulness, Ram Dass, and trauma-informed wisdom, we’ll reframe somatic practices not as “techniques,” but as ancient forms of remembering - ways the body whispers, “This is the way home.”


This episode includes a deeply soothing Yoga Nidra journey, guiding you into the restorative space between wakefulness and sleep, where your nervous system can truly unwind, repair, and return to itself.


By the end, you’ll not only understand your body more -

you’ll trust it more.

You’ll hear it more.

You’ll come home to it more.
