A Dialogue With Your Heart: A Somatic Practice for the Body That Has Been Waiting | Abi Beri

Most of ourdays are spent speaking to the body. Telling it to be quiet. Telling it to perform. Telling it to wait, to push through, to be different, to be less, to be more. What we very rarely do is the other half of the conversation.This guided somatic practice does the other half. It is not a meditation in the usual sense, not a body scan, not a visualisation. It is, simply, the posture of receiving — a hand on the chest, a long settled silence, and the slow discipline of letting the body speak first, in sensation rather than language. None of it is a problem to be solved. All of it is communication.Guided by Abi Beri — Integrative Therapist and Nervous System Specialist (Dublin, Naas, Newbridge & online) — this long, paced practice walks you through settling, placing a hand on the chest, the first quiet listening, what the body often says first when it is finally heard, and a soft return. With the honest understanding that the body has often been ignored for so long that it does not yet trust the listener — and that the waiting is itself the first message.Looking for a somatic therapist for self-compassion, body based listening, chronic anxiety or burnout in Dublin, Naas, Newbridge or online from anywhere in Ireland or the world?
