Inner Smile Meditation | Cultivate a Loving Presence Within

from Somatic Healing Meditations · host Karena Neukirchner

Our relationship with ourselves is shaped, little by little, by the way we meet ourselves internally, and today’s meditation is a beautiful practice for bringing more warmth, kindness, and softness into that relationship. In this Inner Smile Meditation, inspired by the traditional Taoist practice, I’ll guide you to turn the warmth and gentle energy of a smile inward and explore what kindness, compassion, and loving presence actually feel like in your body. As we move deeper into the practice, you’ll have an opportunity to really connect with and receive from that warmth in a deeply embodied way. This is a grounding and regulating healing meditation for cultivating a softer relationship with yourself and embodying more warmth, kindness, compassion, and connection from within. Perfect for self-compassion, emotional healing, nervous system regulation, inner connection, and cultivating a more loving relationship with yourself.
