Guided Meditations

 
 

Body Scan

This 10 minute meditation guides you through a basic body scan. The body scan helps ground you in the present moment, promotes relaxation, and can aid in reducing stress and improving symptoms of insomnia.

 

Physicalizing and Tending to Emotion in the Body

This 8 minute video walks you through the practice of physicalizing emotions (Meditation 1) and tending to big, uncomfortable emotions and feelings in the body (Meditation 2). The goal of each is to change the way we respond to uncomfortable emotions by making room for them (allowing them), nurturing them, and understanding what they need. By doing so, we improve emotion regulation.

 

Peaceful Place with Anchoring

This exercise combines the Peaceful Place resourcing exercise from EMDR with Anchoring ("installing" the calm, positive emotional sensations into a part of your body, to access at a later time). Use this exercise to help induce a state of calm, manage stress, and ground yourself if you're feeling on edge or overly activated.
