Somatic Yoga - A Journey to Self-Compassion | DAY 7: TRUST
Welcome to your Somatic Yoga: A Journey to Self-Compassion program. 💚 I’ve written several blog posts on somatic yoga that you might find interesting. You can learn about what somatic yoga is, the benefits, and explore somatic exercises here: www.yogawithrachelmarie.com/blog 💚
We have arrived!! Welcome to day 7, the final day of our somatic yoga journey to self-compassion.
Today’s practice is unique in that we begin and end with a guided practice, while leaving space in the middle for intuitive movement.
Listening to and honoring your body’s sensations is an amazing way to build self-trust and confidence. Part of this practice is unguided, offering you the space to really tune into your body’s inner wisdom, encouraging you to move in a way that feels nourishing and authentic to you. Trust that your body knows what it needs, and allow your sensations to lead the way.
I decided not to include music during the unguided portion of this practice to minimize external distractions. The silence can offer you the space to really tune into your body sensations. With that said, I can appreciate that it may feel better to listen to music as you move. I welcome you to explore what feels best for you.
Reconnecting with yourself and rediscovering the compassion that already exists within you is such a beautiful gift. May you continue to nurture and carry compassion with you, both on and off the mat.
Feel free to return to this somatic yoga program whenever it feels good.
It has been an honor to serve as your guide throughout this journey.
I appreciate each and every one of you 🤗
Sending you love, light, and gratitude 🩷🙏

I loved parts of today’s workout. I noticed I struggled to stay present in my body - my mind often drifted!
Hi Vaishali 🤗 I love that you noticed this! Each time we show up on the mat is a fresh opportunity to observe what's present. The beautiful thing about somatic practices is that they offer the space to explore what's present. This can include the thoughts that come up, and whether there's feelings or emotions connected to the thoughts. There is an opportunity to simply be with whatever is present. Sometimes the mind goes to a certain place several times for a reason. In these instances, we can tap into a little curiosity if that feels right. Noticing your mind drifting is awareness, which can strengthen the mindbody connection. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with me!!! I hope that you have an amazing rest of your day! Take care 🙏🩷🤗
I enjoyed holding the movements for longer and I felt things come up. I’m just enjoying giving this to my body and feeling more relaxed - thank you. 😊
Hi Vaishali 🤗 You're so welcome! Thank you for sharing what you enjoyed and your observations during your practice! The practice of stillness can be such a deeply nourishing gift for the mind and body. I appreciate you 🩷 Enjoy the rest of your day!! Take care 🙏

Thank you for this video! I found it challenging and I loved it. I resonate with your share about your relationship to curiousity and your body. I had a lot of pain in my right hip and as I was curious about the sensation I felt it go down a little.
Hi Vaishali 🤗 You're welcome! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with me! It's interesting what happens when we lean into curiosity when it comes to sensations felt in the body. When we explore sensations from a place of curiosity, it can open the door for a deeper, more compassionate understanding and appreciation of our inner landscape. Thank you for choosing to be here 🩷 Enjoy the rest of your day! Take care 🙏

Waking up stiff and cold and really not wanting to do it today. This practice made me feel like a hard block of chocolate that was slowly melting. The slowing down felt so so good even though my brain was trying to move on to the next thing. Focused on the sensations of the breath which helped me to calm the brain. Enjoying a moment of journaling next with my hot tea. My ritual daily after my movement. Thank you for this gentle/restful yet awakening practice. Your creations are beautiful
Hi Kathleen 🤗 You're so welcome! I love this description! Restorative yoga is a wonderful practice for slowly and gently releasing tension from the body. What a fantastic observation! Noticing that your brain was wanting to move onto the next thing. I love that you focused on the physical sensation of your breath to help anchor you to the present moment, while sending calming messages to the brain. Journaling while sipping on a hot tea sounds like a nourishing and loving self-care practice! I appreciate your kind words 🩷 Thank you so much for sharing your practice and experiences with me! Enjoy the rest of your day. Take care 🙏

Greetings from Peru❤❤❤❤ thank so much for the session.i take fluoxetina and clonazepam: anxiety generalized for 4 years.
Hello from Canada 🩷 You're so welcome! I appreciate you being here! Sending love and light to you 🩷✨ Take care 🙏
Why do my tears flow whenever i do this?
Hello 🤗 This is such a great question, and there are so many possible reasons! Practicing gratitude and feeling the sensation of gratitude in the body can trigger the release of feel-good hormones. The release of these hormones can elicit feelings of joy and happiness, which can be released from the body in the form of tears. This somatic practice in particular included spinal movements and hip openers. Sometimes energy can build up in these two areas of the body. When we mindfully open up these areas, energy can flow with greater ease. Since emotions are energy in motion, this can sometimes lead to natural responses, like tears. Feel free to let me know if you resonate with this 🤗 I appreciate you! Enjoy the rest of your day! Take care 🙏
@@YogawithRachel wow, the human body is so complex. Appreciate the response, and the vids. I thought the tears were coincidental at first.
@ Yes, the human body is truly fascinating!!
Thank you Rachel for sharing your Somatic yoga journey 7 day practice with us. I enjoyed every day and will continue to listen to what my body is telling me both inside and out. I do notice that my right side connects with the ground more than my left which reminds me that there is some gentle work to be done. :). Take care and thank you again for offering this journey to everyone! Take care.
Hi Patricia 🤗 You're so welcome! It's been an honor to guide you through this self-compassion journey! I am so happy to hear that our practices resonated with you, and has encouraged you to continue listening to your body. That is a great observation! When we slow down and turn our focus inward, we begin to sense things that we may not have noticed before, approaching whatever we discover with both curiosity and compassion. Thank you so much for practicing with me and the community! I appreciate you 🩷 Enjoy the rest of your day! Take care 🙏
Hey friends 🤗 We have arrived! Welcome to day 7, the final day of our somatic yoga journey to self-compassion. The focus for today’s practice is trust. This practice offers you the space to explore what self-trust feels like in your body by moving intuitively. You’re invited to go inward, listen to your sensations, respond with compassion, and trust its guidance. Self-trust is a key part of building a compassionate mindset. When we nurture our inner trust, we honor our body’s wisdom and the choices we make. And when things don’t go as planned, we meet ourselves with kindness, love, and compassion, recognizing that setbacks are a part of the human experience. These experiences become opportunities to learn, grow, and heal. To continue nurturing self-trust off the mat, I welcome you to consider small, achievable, and actionable goals you can set for yourself every day. This might include, drinking water whenever you’re feeling thirsty, going to bed at the same time every night, reading one page of a book daily, or spending 5 minutes each day connecting with nature. Following through on these commitments strengthens self-trust and confidence. It’s like keeping promises you’ve made to yourself. You can deepen self-trust by connecting with your intuition throughout your day. Explore making small decisions based on what feels right for you-like what to eat, what to wear, or which path to take while walking or hiking. This practice helps you to connect with your body’s inner wisdom in a loving and compassionate way. Another powerful way to strengthen self-trust is by living in alignment with your core values and principles. Each year, I take the time to reflect upon and write down my intentions, values, and guiding principles for the year ahead. I call upon these values and guiding principles throughout the year, which are especially helpful whenever I’m facing a challenging situation. Whether I’m navigating a difficult conversation or making a major decision, I return to my values to help guide me, trusting that I’m walking on the path that is aligned with my highest self. THANK YOU so much for choosing to go on this journey with me! Thank you for trusting me to serve as your guide throughout this journey. Feel free to return to this program whenever it feels good! Sending so much love to each of you!!! 🩷🙏

Feeling so much more comfortable in my skin after this practice. The seated cat cow with the outstretched arms felt amazing. Like an acceptance of love from the universe and then a hug into that beautiful feeling. Spending a few moments with my cacao journaling and a little dance to round it all out. Sat nam 🤍
