Somatic Intuition: Listening to Your Body’s Guidance in Decision‑Making (Ep. 15)
In this somatic embodiment and nervous system‑aware episode, Brita explores somatic intuition. How your body participates in decision‑making through subtle signals, and how to distinguish intuitive knowing from fear or old survival patterns. You’ll practise feeling a small decision in your body, using interoceptive awareness to invite your nervous system into the conversation instead of leaving choices to overthinking alone. This episode is for anyone who swings between overthinking and impulsive choices; Brita offers a grounded way to rebuild trust in your inner guidance with tiny daily somatic experiments rather than magical thinking.

Somatic Work with Emotions: Feeling Feelings in the Body (Ep. 14)
In this somatic embodiment and nervous system‑aware episode, Brita explores somatic work with emotions. How feelings like anger, fear, sadness, and joy show up in the body, and how to meet them through sensation instead of only through thoughts. You will learn a simple guided practice to map emotions in your body without getting overwhelmed, using titration so you can stay within your window of tolerance. This episode is for anyone who either feels “too much” or “nothing at all”; Brita offers a gentle, trauma‑aware way to reconnect with emotions as bodily experiences so they become more workable and less frightening.

Somatic Work with Pain and Discomfort: Meeting Tension and Chronic Symptoms Differently (Ep. 13)
In this somatic embodiment and nervous system‑aware episode, Brita explores how to work somatically with pain and discomfort. Why your nervous system can amplify pain as protection, why “pushing through” often backfires, and how to begin meeting physical or emotional discomfort in small, supported doses. This episode is for anyone living with tension, chronic pain, or ongoing symptoms who is tired of fighting their body; Brita offers a trauma‑aware way to relate to pain through the body - with orientation, titration, and curiosity - so your system can feel a little less alone and a little more understood.

Somatic Practice in Stillness: Learning to Feel from Within (Ep. 12)
In this somatic embodiment and nervous system‑aware episode, Brita guides you into somatic practice in stillness. Learning to feel your body from within even when the outside is quiet. You will explore why stillness can feel so intense, how to make it safer for your nervous system, and try a short, gentle inner‑listening practice in tiny, manageable doses so being with yourself does not have to be overwhelming. This episode is for anyone who lies down to “relax” or sits for meditation and is met with anxiety, numbness, or racing thoughts; Brita offers a trauma‑aware approach using interoception, pacing, and simple anchors so your body can slowly learn that stillness can be held, not feared.

This episode is for anyone confused by all the “somatic tools” out there; Brita shows how the same exercise can be performance or deep somatic work, and guides you through a short practice so you can feel the difference in your own body.

Digital Nervous System: Social Media, Hyperarousal, and Boundaries (Ep. 10)
In this somatic embodiment and nervous system regulation episode, Brita explores your “digital nervous system”, how phones, social media, emails, and news impact your body’s state. You will learn to recognise how constant input pushes you into hyper‑ or hypoarousal, how this affects your window of tolerance, and how digital boundaries and tiny pauses can make technology kinder to your nervous system. This episode is for anyone who feels wired and exhausted after “just scrolling” and wants small, realistic experiments to map the somatic impact of online life. So you can create more nervous‑system‑safe screen time. For more somatic tools on navigating stress and tech, follow @sacredembodiment on Instagram and visit https://www.sacredembodiment.in.

Boundaries as Nervous System Work: Somatic Signals of Yes and No (Ep. 8)
In this somatic embodiment and nervous system regulation episode, Brita explores boundaries as nervous system work rather than just communication skills. You will learn how your body says yes and no, why saying no can feel dangerous when survival responses like freeze or fawn take over, and how to practise tiny, tolerable micro‑boundaries. This episode is for anyone who knows they “should” set boundaries but freezes, fawns, or agrees anyway, and wants a kinder, trauma‑informed, embodied relationship with their own limits.
