Somatic Healing Meditations

Welcome to the expansive world of iffirmations!

Iffirmations are a more powerful, authentic and effective form of affirmations. They help you shift your mindset and get unstuck by priming your subconscious mind for creative problem solving and opening you up to greater curiosity and possibilities.

But, unlike affirmations, they feel expansive and authentic (and don’t require you to engage in toxic positivity or spiritual bypassing)! 🩷

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena explains what iffirmations are and how you can use iffirmations to further your healing journey and personal development in a compassionate and authentic way.

In a world full of overthinking and endless choices, the intelligence of your heart can be your truest guide.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you through a Heart Centered Intention Setting Exercise so that you can align your goals, resolutions and intentions with the profound intelligence of your heart.

➡️➡️➡️ You can bring ANY goal, resolution or intention to this exercise to gain more clarity, alignment and support.

5 reasons to do heart centered intention setting:

1. Your heart knows your true north. Your heart is connected to your values, your authentic self as well as your greatest purpose, peace and joy. While our minds can convince us of anything, our hearts are connected to a bigger and truer sense of who we are.

2. Your heart’s wisdom will guide you on a path that aligns with who you truly are. Instead of chasing external validation or trying to become who we think we “should” be, our hearts guide us towards our deepest happiness and healing.

3. Setting heart centered intentions can help you create more harmony between your true inner values and external actions. Instead of chasing goals that leave you burned out and unfulfilled, the path of your heart can bring a profound sense of satisfaction and contentment.

4. When you follow the guidance of your heart, you’re more likely to show up in your life with vulnerability, authenticity and the courage to follow through. When you’re following an aligned path, more of your light, strength and truth can show up.

5. Without heart our lives can feel like it’s all just empty hustle. But on the path of the heart, your fulfillment and healing are at the forefront.

When we’re on a healing journey, looking at our emotional triggers can be profoundly useful.

When we know how to listen to them, our emotional triggers can guide us towards inner parts of ourselves that are calling out for healing.

If we know how to pay attention, they can tell us so much about our limiting beliefs, unprocessed emotions, past pain and subconscious blocks.

And learning to heal them deep at their subconscious roots can be one of the most transformational things we can do on our healing journey! Healing our triggers helps us connect with, integrate and heal the wounds from our past that have been affecting us and holding us back.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you on a deep inner journey to uncover (and heal) the roots of your triggers using an emotional processing technique called Regenerating Images in Memory.

00:00 - Emotional triggers show us what needs healing within

05:00 - Regenerating Images in Memory explained

In a world full of triggers, discover the magic of soothing your amygdala for immediate emotional first aid!

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you through a Havening Exercise to calm down when triggered. This exercise is so powerful because it actually soothes the reactive parts of your emotional brain that get activated when emotional triggers come up for you.

We all get triggered sometimes. And it’s profoundly valuable and supportive to know how to nurture and support ourselves through those triggers. Instead of judging ourselves, repressing our feelings, numbing or simply spiraling out, we can actually learn to work with our emotional triggers in ways that soothe the reactive parts of our brains, deepen our self understanding and even heal from the wounds from the past that are at the roots of our triggers.

This is Part 1 in a 2 part series called “Help, I’m Triggered!” and this exercise is best used when you’re actively triggered and need to calm down.
