Orienting + Havening: My Favorite Quick Nervous System Regulation Tool (Guided Practice)

28 de agosto de 2026 · 14 min

Notas del episodio

When you’re feeling stressed, anxious, activated, or caught up in your head, sometimes you just want a simple way to help your nervous system settle.

This is one of my favorite quick nervous system regulation practices, and I turn to it all the time. It combines Orienting, a somatic practice that uses present-moment sensory awareness to help your nervous system register cues of safety, with Havening, a therapeutic technique that uses gentle, soothing touch to help calm the brain and nervous system.

Instead of trying to think your way into feeling calmer, these practices work directly with the body and the senses to help shift your physiological state.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I’ll guide you step by step through this simple combination of Orienting and Havening so you can experience it for yourself. It only takes a few minutes, and it’s a wonderful practice to come back to whenever you’re feeling stressed or dysregulated, or anytime you’d simply like to feel a little more grounded, settled, and calm.

Perfect for nervous system regulation, grounding, anxiety and stress relief, getting out of your head and into your body, and finding more calm in just a few minutes.
