Episode Synopsis


Show Notes
In this short, supportive practice episode, I guide you through one of the most foundational nervous system tools we use again and again in this work: orienting through the senses to resource the body. This is a practice you can return to anytime you want to slow down, come back into your body, and gently support regulation — whether you’re walking, sitting, or even moving through your day.
We explore how shifting attention to the senses can help the nervous system settle, gather scattered energy, and bring you more fully into the present moment. There’s no right outcome here — settling, increased sensation, neutrality, or simply noticing more are all welcome and useful experiences.
This practice is an invitation to let the body lead, notice what feels neutral or pleasant, and choose whether to rest in a sense of wellbeing or carry that resourced presence into whatever comes next.
