One thing that most people don’t realize is... SO MUCH of our stress, tension, overwhelm and confusion comes from suppressing our emotions instead of processing them in a way that allows them to be released.Suppressing our emotions also disconnects us from our inner wisdom and authenticity, cluttering our thoughts and making us more prone to mood swings, irritability, and physical ailments.But here's the good news: there's a way out. This somatic meditation for emotional release can help you connect with and give voice to your emotions in a way that helps them release naturally.Having an emotional release in this way can relieve a bunch of stress, decrease your internal tension, boost your mental and emotional wellbeing, and increase your compassionate self awareness. Learning to feel your feelings in this way is truly a vital part of self care and self regulation, plus it can pave the way for greater emotional resilience and authenticity in your life.Episode timing:00:00 - The benefits of emotional release02:47 - Somatic Meditation for Emotional Release (using Havening Techniques® and Regenerating Images in Memory®)29:41 - conclusionLearn more about Havening Techniques and the science behind themConnect with Karena:- @helloinnerlight on Instagram, YouTube and Insight Timer- Karena Neukirchner Lindell on LinkedIn- helloinnerlight.com- Sign up for Karena’s free minicourse: The Feel it to Heal it Mini-Course- Somatic Healing Meditations homepage

Your heart knows your true north. Your heart is connected to your values, your authentic self as well as your greatest purpose, peace and joy. While our minds can convince us of anything, our hearts are connected to a bigger and truer sense of who we are.2. Your heart’s wisdom will guide you on a path that aligns with who you truly are. Instead of chasing external validation or trying to become who we think we “should” be, our hearts guide us towards our deepest happiness and healing.3. Setting heart centered intentions can help you create more harmony between your true inner values and external actions. Instead of chasing goals that leave you burned out and unfulfilled, the path of your heart can bring a profound sense of satisfaction and contentment.4. When you follow the guidance of your heart, you’re more likely to show up in your life with vulnerability, authenticity and the courage to follow through. When you’re following an aligned path, more of your light, strength and truth can show up.5. Without heart our lives can feel like it’s all just empty hustle.
