Your Body Remembers What the Mind Tries to Forget

You may not recall every detail of your past, but your body does. Trauma isn’t just a memory—it lives in the nervous system, in the muscles, in the breath. When you feel triggered, anxious, or disconnected for no clear reason, it may be your body whispering: “There’s something here that needs love.”

True healing is not only emotional—it’s somatic. It asks us to feel what’s been suppressed, not to relive it, but to free it.

Gentle Ways to Begin the Release

Here are a few soul-led practices that help release trauma held in the body:

1. Conscious Breathwork
Your breath is your bridge between the physical and the spiritual.
Try this: Inhale slowly for 4 counts, pause, then exhale for 6. As you breathe, imagine releasing tension from your chest, belly, or jaw—wherever you hold emotion.

2. Embodied Movement
You don’t need a gym. Just move with your emotions.
Dance, stretch, sway, shake—let the body express what words cannot. Trauma often needs to move out through the body before the mind can understand it.

3. EFT Tapping
Tapping on energy meridian points while voicing the emotion brings calm to the nervous system.
“I feel overwhelmed… but I’m open to healing.”
This tool gives the inner child and subconscious a voice.

4. Reiki and Energy Healing
Energy work bypasses the mind entirely.
It clears blocks, restores flow, and allows the body’s natural healing intelligence to come online again.

A Sacred Reminder

You are not your trauma. You are the healer, the witness, and the alchemist of your own story.
