5 minute daily to practice to stop overthinking, develop emotional intelligence and connect to your body instead. Discover the power of Somatic Embodiment!

Transcript:

hi everyone! So today I want to share with you a super simple five-minute embodiment meditation that you can do every morning.

If you ever wake up stuck in your head, overthinking, or spiraling into analysis, this is such a beautiful way to drop back into your body, your instincts, and start the day grounded. It’s gentle, it’s easy, and honestly—it can be life changing over time.”

[DISCLAIMER]
“Before we jump in, just a quick caveat: if you’re working through severe trauma or really intense emotions, please check in with your therapist, your doctor, or just yourself to make sure you feel safe doing this. This is meant to support, not replace, professional care.”

[STEP 1: MUSIC]
“So, here’s how it works. The first thing I do is put on some music—usually lyricless, ambient tracks. I love artists like FKJ, or Mix Hound on YouTube. I’ll link some below.

That said, honestly, go with what you’re feeling. Some days you might want soft ambient music, other days you might weirdly want heavy metal, or even country. True story: I once did this to Morgan Wallen. So trust your mood.”

[STEP 2: BREATHING & BODY AWARENESS]
“Then I half lie down, half sit in bed, close my eyes, and take a few deep breaths. First into my chest, then into my belly.

Sometimes, an emotion or sensation pops up right away—tight shoulders, a coldness somewhere, even physical pain. For me, it’s often shoulder tension when I’m anxious.

If you don’t notice anything specific, that’s totally fine. Just place your attention, maybe even your hand, on your chest or heart space, and breathe there.”

[STEP 3: WELCOMING THE SENSATION]
“This is key: whatever comes up, don’t try to get rid of it. Don’t analyze it—‘is this because of the gym? Or stress from yesterday?’ No. Just breathe into it. Welcome it, as it is.

And if welcoming feels hard, just breathe into the edges of the sensation instead. That gentleness makes all the difference.”

[STEP 4: MOVEMENT & SOUND]
“After a few breaths, I let my body move however it wants—shoulder rolls, stretching, or even just subtle shifts. If you’re feeling something in your belly, maybe place your hands there and breathe deeper.

Once you’re moving, bring sound into it. That could be a yawn, a hum, even a shout if it feels right and you’ve got the privacy. It might feel awkward at first, but trust me—it helps release what’s stored in the body.”

[STEP 5: REPEAT & GROUND]
“You might notice the sensation shifts—like from your shoulders down to your belly. Just repeat: breathe, move, sound. Do that for two or three cycles.

Sometimes you’ll end in total calm and lightness, ready to start the day. Other times, the emotion will still be there, and that’s okay. Just finish by grounding—breathe down into your legs, your feet, your ankles—and then slowly open your eyes.”

[NEXT STEPS]
“This simple practice of awareness, movement, and sound—done for just five minutes a day—can massively improve emotional intelligence and help you connect to your body instead of being trapped in your head.

It’s been completely transformative for me, and I hope it helps you too.
