Stillness Practices

Heart-Hand Warmth

Somatic / Body-Centered

A gentle somatic practice that combines the power of touch with breath awareness to generate a sense of safety and self-compassion. It helps soothe emotional overwhelm or vulnerability.

Instructions

  1. Place your right hand: Bring your right palm up and place it flat over the center of your chest. 

  2. Place your left hand: Stack your left palm directly on top of your right hand. 

  3. Close your eyes: Soften your gaze or close your eyes to turn your focus inward. 

  4. Feel the physical warmth: Notice the radiant heat transferring from your palms right into your chest wall. 

  5. Feel the movement: Sense the subtle rise and fall of your chest underneath the weight of your hands. 

  6. Stay for 10 breaths: Keep your hands placed right there for 10 slow, comforting breath cycles.
