REFLECTIONS FROM LAUREN HOWE
The Soft Ground
Here I write about somatic therapy, body-led meditation, nervous system awareness, life transitions and our relationship with the natural world, exploring what can become possible when we begin listening to the body rather than always trying to think our way forward. Explore the writing ↓
Why Can’t I Meditate Anymore? A Nervous System Perspective for Women
Meditation can feel very different across a woman’s life. What once felt grounding or spacious may begin to feel flat, agitating or out of reach as stress, hormones, grief, caregiving, trauma or major life transitions shape the body and nervous system. This piece explores why that happens and how practice may need to change with more gentleness, safety and respect for the body.
The evolution of this space: why I am now offering body-led sessions for all women
I’m expanding my work to support all women, not only mothers. While I still offer my 4-session nervous system program for mothers, I’m now also offering private body-led sessions for women in all seasons of life who are navigating anxiety, overwhelm, life transitions, or a longing to feel more connected to themselves.
