Somatic Practice to Manage Overwhelm (with Raquel DuBois)
Finding Space in the Storm: A Somatic Practice to Manage Overwhelm
When life feels like a whirlwind of to-do lists, responsibilities, and emotional turbulence, it’s easy to feel consumed by overwhelm. This sense of being swamped can cloud our judgment, limit our choices, and leave us feeling trapped in a cycle of stress and anxiety.
But what if, instead of trying to eliminate the overwhelming factors, we could change our relationship with the overwhelm itself?
What if we could create space within ourselves to breathe, shift the feelings of overwhelm, and regain our clarity?
This is the transformative power of today’s meditation!
Guided by nervous system specialist, Raquel DoBois, this somatic practice invites you to explore how to change your relationship with overwhelm. Through this guided somatic practice, you will gently tune into your body to decrease your internal tension and find more clarity within.
By doing so, you create a sense of spaciousness within your nervous system, allowing you to step back and see your challenges through a more aligned and peaceful perspective. This newfound inner space provides the flexibility to navigate your overwhelm with more ease and resilience.
Engaging in this somatic practice opens you up to an inner, body-level knowing—a deep sense of wisdom that resides within. This inner knowing supports you in feeling less overwhelmed and more connected to your authentic self.
It empowers you to make choices from a place of centeredness and confidence, rather than reactivity and fear. Join us in this beautiful journey to transform your relationship with overwhelm and discover a new level of inner peace and clarity.
