Feeling emotionally drained and completely exhausted? Ever wondered if there's a way to restore your energy and reset your nervous system through meditation?

Compassion fatigue and emotional burnout are all too common, especially when juggling the demands of caregiving, work, and personal life. This episode explores how meditation can not only help you acknowledge exhaustion but also actively restore your energy using a powerful visualization technique rooted in PTSD treatment research.

☑️ Learn how emotional exhaustion zaps the nervous system and why your body responds as if it is being attacked.

☑️ Discover a guided meditation that uses sensory memory to downregulate stress and restore balance.

☑️ Experience a practical, accessible technique to refill your emotional cup and reconnect with a sense of safety and joy.

Take a deep breath, settle in, and press play to immerse yourself in a meditation practice that will help you release exhaustion and regain a sense of calm and renewal.

Today's meditation music is a nature soundscape from Olympic National Park as recorded by Nick McMahan. A cathedral of trees, soft mossy and clean rain invite the opportunity to refresh and replenish.
