When life feels overwhelming—when the world is loud, uncertain, or just plain too much—our bodies hold the weight of it all.

That tightness in your chest, the ache in your shoulders, the restless tension in your belly—these are not burdens to dismiss. They are invitations. Gentle messengers asking you to notice, to listen, to feel.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, you’ll discover a powerful somatic journaling Exercise designed to help you get it off your chest. Inspired by the transformative technique of Regenerating Images in Memory® (RIM), this guided practice blends mindful embodiment with intentional journaling to help you uncover what’s been lingering beneath the surface and release it with compassion.

Tune in and experience the liberating Clarity that comes when you honor what you feel, let it move through you, and finally get what you’ve been carrying off your chest.
