Struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep? In this episode, Certified Clinical Somatic Educator Heidi Hadley explores how your body holds the secret to truly restful sleep.

Discover how gentle somatic awareness can calm your nervous system, quiet your mind, and help you release the physical tension that keeps you “switched on.” Through a mindful guided practice, Heidi helps you reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms and activate what she calls the Sleep Switch, your body’s innate ability to unwind and reset.

This episode blends somatic movement, mindset, and mindfulness to help you move from restless to restored.

🌿 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why your body must feel safe before your mind can rest
• The difference between “forcing sleep” and allowing rest
• How somatic awareness gently resets your nervous system
• A guided somatic practice to release jaw, shoulder, and spinal tension
• Mindset shifts to transform your evening into a ritual of calm

💤 Key Insight:

You don’t have to try to sleep, you simply have to help your body feel safe enough to rest. When you release muscular tension, your mind follows.

🌙 Try This Tonight:

Take three slow, mindful breaths before bed.
 Feel your abdomen expand and soften.
 Whisper to yourself: “It’s safe to rest.”

💬 Closing Message:

Somatic rest is about listening, not forcing. The more you tune into your body’s whispers, the more naturally deep rest will come.
