Slow, Extended Body Scan Meditation (To Regulate Your Nervous System)

Our bodies are incredible. They hold so much wisdom and capacity for healing, and one of the simplest, yet most profound ways to support our nervous systems is through a body scan meditation.

This episode is an extended, slower version of one of our most loved episodes, the Guided Body Scan Meditation to Regulate Your Nervous System. If you've done that practice before, this one moves at a gentler pace, with more space between each cue so you have more time to feel into each part of your body rather than moving through quickly. (And if you haven't tried that one, this is a wonderful place to begin.)

When we gently bring our attention to the sensations in our bodies, we create a sense of safety and presence. This practice helps to downregulate the stress response and invites our vagus nerve, the cornerstone of nervous system regulation, to activate its calming, grounding effects.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you through a slow, extended body scan meditation that will regulate your nervous system, quiet your mind, and help you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels grounding, safe, and soothing.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just wanting more time to settle into your body, this extended body scan meditation is for you.
