When Bearing Witness: Becoming a Trauma-Informed Storyteller
The When Bearing Witness podcast is an invitation to explore trauma-informed storytelling, a safe and healthy process of gathering and telling painful stories. Join my conversations with trauma-informed experts and fellow social-good storytellers as we help shape the intersection of trauma-informed care and the storytelling process.
Stories are sacred, and we can create a safe space to tell and share them.
When Bearing Witness: Becoming a Trauma-Informed Storyteller
Body Scan Meditation for Storyteller Wellness With Carol Flanagan
Carol will guide us through a 20-minute body scan meditation.
The body scan is a practice of systematically bringing gentle attention to each part of the body. It helps us become more present and aware of the physical sensations we often ignore or tune out. With this awareness, we can release areas of tightness or tension.
Before you press play, find a comfortable position. You can sit upright in a chair or lie down on your back on a mat or blanket.
Take a moment to settle into your position and allow your body to feel supported. You may want to slightly soften your gaze or let your eyes close completely. The most important thing is to find a position that feels stable and relaxed for you.
Enjoy!
