Hello friends, today we're slowing things down even more than we have in previous sessions. There's very little movement suggested and lying in bed or on your couch would go very well with today's practice. I'm sharing with you a combination of a body scan and metta meditation for an embodied experience with loving-kindness.

This is our last session together and the end of this podcast series. Sharing these recordings has been an offering from my heart and I'm honoured you chose to spend time with me and these gentle yet profound teachings.

A somatics practice—as I understand it and have hopefully conveyed to you—is first and foremost a conversation with one's own wisdom and, as I'm so fond of saying, it's witnessing and honouring your embodied consent. Throughout these sessions I have been inviting you to follow your enthusiastic "yes" and to allow your definite "no" because this practice is for you alone.

This podcast will remain online and you can dip back in at any time. May you take from these sessions an experience of peace. May you sense within your being a place where you can find refuge at any given moment. May there be at least one place that remains untouched by the sorrows of the world and a place that is yours alone. And may that sense of relief take root and grow.

Alright, let's begin our practice. Gather whatever you need to find deep comfort and rest. Perhaps some warm socks, a blanket, a mug of tea, soft candlelight. Whatever it is you require, gather it in and let's get into some Somatic Solace.
