Meditation Series: Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements – Part 4 – Earth

✨NEW MEDITATION SERIES ON INSIGHT TIMER✨

⁠This is the 4th & final part of the Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements series. This guided series is centered around healing trauma in a safe & healthy way as we channel earth’s natural elements. Today’s healing element is earth. Earth is about stability, strength & growth. It is here that you’ll find your footing & lay a solid foundation to rebuild your life & step back out into the world. This meditation will utilize visualization & sound healing. ⁠

⁠If you have not completed parts 1-3 of this series, where we focused on Air, Fire & Water as healing elements, I would highly suggest starting there first as these meditations connect to one another in order. ⁠

⁠I hope you enjoyed this trauma healing meditation series. Trauma healing is hard work, I know from personal experience, but you showed up and you did the work and I want you to take a moment to congratulate yourself for starting the healing process and completing this series.⁠

⁠Though these meditations connect to one another in order I would like to remind you that you can repeat these meditations as many times as you’d like. Naturally, there will be an element in this series that resonates more deeply with you than another. Trust that feeling and come back to it and any of the others in this series as many times as is necessary to help guide you on your healing journey.⁠

⁠Thank you for meditating with me! I thoroughly enjoyed creating this series and I can’t wait to create more meditations for you ✨

Meditation Series: Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements – Part 3 – Water

✨ NEW MEDITATION SERIES ON INSIGHT TIMER ✨⁠

⁠This is part 3 of the Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements series. This guided 4-part series is centered around healing trauma in a safe & healthy way as we channel earth’s natural elements. Today’s healing element is water, the protective womb stage of healing. Today you’ll mend & rebuild. You’ll go fully inside of yourself to provide love & protection, to heal & move forward with your life.⁠

⁠I hope these meditations have been helpful for you so far. I know from personal experience that trauma healing can be very triggering. I would suggest moving at your own pace through this series. You may even want to work through a single element multiple times before moving on to the next one. For example, if Air feels incredibly healing for you and you feel it’s helping you safely move through blocked feelings, focus on Air for a while before moving on to Fire. You can repeat these meditations as many times as you’d like. Think about it like watching a movie, every time you watch the same movie you see and pick up on new things you didn’t notice before, meditation is like that too. New feelings and emotions will come up every time you meditate. Allow these feelings and emotions to come up and flow freely. This is your body’s way of releasing trauma and navigating painful feelings and emotions that have been suppressed.  ⁠

⁠This meditation will utilize visualization & sound healing. ⁠

⁠If you have not completed parts 1 & 2, where we focused on Air & Fire as healing elements, I would highly suggest starting there first as these meditations connect to one another in order.  ⁠

⁠I hope you’re enjoying this series. The 4th & final part of this series will be released later this week 🤗

Meditation Series: Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements – Part 2 – Fire

✨ NEW MEDITATION SERIES ON INSIGHT TIMER ✨⁠

This is part 2 of the Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements series. This guided 4-part series is centered around healing trauma in a safe & healthy way as we channel earth’s natural elements. Today’s healing element is fire, where we’ll be free to feel anger & disappointment about our experience, as we focus on healing & clearing space for growth & transformation.⁠

⁠I know trauma healing can be very triggering, but as a trauma survivor myself I know the healing process is integral to moving forward with your life in a healthy way. Shoving it down, bottling it up, and pretending it’s not there will only make matters worse. I know, because I tried that first & it didn’t work. My best advice for you is to use these meditations as a safe space to allow feelings and emotions to come up without judgment or trying to change them. Don’t force them down, let them flow freely. This is your body’s way of releasing trauma, it’s detoxing.  ⁠

⁠This meditation will utilize visualization & sound healing. ⁠

⁠If you have not completed part 1, where we focused on Air as a healing element, I would highly suggest starting there first as these meditations connect to one another in order.  ⁠

⁠I hope you’re enjoying this series. Part 3 will be released early next week 🤗 ⁠

Meditation Series: Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements – Part 1 – Air

✨NEW MEDITATION SERIES✨⁠

⁠I’m so excited to finally put this series out into the world. I had to practice what I preach and overcome my fear to make this dream a reality. You can now find my meditations on Insight Timer 🤗 This has been 5 years in the making & I’m over the moon 🌙 ⁠

⁠Trauma healing is the #1 requested meditation from my clients & followers. I put a lot of love and personal experience into this series and I hope you love it ❤️⁠

⁠Welcome to the Healing Trauma Through Natural Elements series. This is a 4-part guided meditation series that’s centered around healing trauma in a safe & healthy way. Each meditation in this series focuses on healing trauma by channeling earth’s natural elements. ⁠

⁠In Part 1 of this series, we’ll be focusing on Air as a healing element. Air healing is all about silently processing your experience. It’s a moment of suspension, where you’re just trying to make sense of it all. This stage of healing is about nurturing & protecting yourself. It’s about observing your feelings freely without judgment or expectations. I call this the “floating in the air” stage of healing, hence the use of the natural element, air.

⁠This meditation utilizes visualization & sound healing.⁠

⁠I hope you enjoy this series. These meditations are meant to be practiced in order. Come back to them for daily support on your healing journey.⁠ I can’t wait to meditate with you!

Meditation: Transforming Fear

Self-created fears grip all of us, and they have WAY more control over us than they should ever be allowed. Here’s the deal… we need fear! It keeps us safe when we’re in physical danger, but more often than not our experience with fear is self-created. You may fear public speaking, showing your true feelings, failure, etc., but these feelings don’t put your life in danger, so how can we manage them? Fear breeds insecurity & self-doubt, which can lead to stress, which can lead to lower immunity & more, so it’s imperative that we learn how to live with fear in a more harmonious way. What if we could turn fear into an ally that would allow us to become more courageous & fearless. When we become more mindful about our fears we also become more centered, focused & relaxed, no matter what stands before us. So how can we transform self-created fear into our greatest ally? That’s what we’re going to be exploring today. So find a comfortable place to sit or lie down, with little to no distractions & we’ll get started. Enjoy!

7-Minute Beginner’s Body Scan

Photo by: @jessicaczarneckiphoto

This body scan provides a little more information than the 3-Minute Beginner’s Body Scan in this series. If you’ve got a little bit more time and you want to learn more about body scanning than this video is for you. Body scanning can reduce stress & anxiety quickly & it can help you enter your day or night feeling more centered and grounded. 

All you need for this practice is yourself & a comfortable place to sit or lie down with little to no distractions.

Body scanning is an incredibly helpful tool to relieve stress & anxiety so you can live your life feeling more centered and grounded. It also provides a ton of useful information about you, and what’s going on in your physical and mental body. We’re all so busy all the time, caught up in a million things, moving so fast through our day that we might not notice the messages our body is sending us, all day, every day. If you can create a habit of scanning your body, from the top of your head, all the way down to your toes, even once a day, for 60 seconds you will begin to build a better relationship with your physical & mental body. If you can learn to listen to the messages your body is sending you you might notice when you are hungry, full, need rest, are getting sick, need to slow down, etc. And if you can meet these messages without judgment in a more timely & loving fashion you might be able to avoid a lot of emotional & physical pain & illness, just by taking a second to listen to the messages your body is sending you. Body scanning can also make you feel more present in your life, which I guarantee you will have a positive domino effect on everyone around you. Improving not only the relationship you have with yourself but with others as well.

So what is it? It’s very simple actually. All you need to do is sit or lie down comfortably, somewhere that has little to no distractions. Then, starting at the top of the head, you’ll slowly scan your entire body until you’ve reached your toes. Feelings and emotions will come up for you, they may be physical and or mental. You’re not meant to try to stop or change these feelings and emotions, you’re meant to meet them with an open mind and a kind heart. It’s just information about you and where you are today. Then you take that information and pivot your day. Maybe you haven’t eaten lunch and you didn’t realize, until your scan, that you were incredibly hungry, go eat. Maybe you notice a tickle in your throat, or you’re slightly warm, are you getting sick? Do you need to take some time to relax and recover? Body scanning can actually be a very useful preventative measure for those of us who don’t know how to slow down and listen to the messages our body is sending us.
