S2 E23 Somatic Practices to Help Heal Your Relationship with Money

Somatic Wisdom

Hi My Lovelies,

In response to our previous episode (58) with Dana Miranda of Healthy Rich on somatic practice to work with our difficult money stories.

I discovered from Bari Tessler's book The Art of Money workbook (from the podcast Inside Job with Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson).

Tessler does a lot of the practices that I actually detailed in my book but she applies them specifically to our difficult emotions around money, and almost ALL of us have these, no matter how much money we make.

What I love is the 3 step set of practices for our money dates or money clarity sessions as I think of them:

1. Body Check-in - feel and sense into your body and notice what's happening
2. Resource Ourselves - make adjustments
3. Titration - go slow and take it at your own pace

Rather than avoiding bad feelings, it is helpful to lean into them, describe where they appear in our bodies and realize they are not going to harm us. We can physically resource ourselves and make our money clarity session into a comforting ritual can help us approach it more gently.

I actually walk through my own feelings about money regret so you can be with me during one of these practices.

Hope this provides some helpful support to you!
