Listening to the Body & Emotional Awareness
The Healing Circle – Day 4
Day 4 is about gently turning inward and learning how to notice emotions and body sensations without shutting down or pushing them away. This practice is meant to feel safe, slow, and supportive — not overwhelming.
Opening Reflection (5 minutes)
Settle in comfortably.
Place one hand on the chest and one on the belly.
Take 3 slow breaths.
Reflect:
👉 Today, we practice listening instead of fixing.
👉 My body has been protecting me — I honour that.
Teaching: The Body Remembers
Our bodies often hold emotions that were too much to process at the time. Overworking, staying busy, or shutting down can all be survival strategies — not flaws.
🩵 Today is not about reliving the past.
🩷 It’s about gently noticing what is present right now, with compassion.
Somatic Check-In Practice
  1. Sit with both feet on the floor
  2. Slowly scan the body from head to toe
  3. Notice any sensations (tightness, heaviness, warmth, numbness)
  4. Name the sensation without judgment
  5. Ask quietly: “What might this part of me need right now?”
Remember:
👉 There is nothing to fix. Awareness itself is healing.
I encourage you to journal on one or more:
  • Where in my body do I feel the most today?
  • What emotion might be connected to that sensation?
  • What do I usually do when discomfort shows up?
  • What helps me feel safe when emotions arise?
  • If my body could speak, what would it want me to know?
Closing affirmation:
👉 I am learning to listen to my body with kindness and patience.
