karena neukirchner
A solo podcast of guided somatic meditations designed to regulate the nervous system and process emotions through body-centered awareness.
A weekly solo-narrative podcast where each episode serves as a practical, guided somatic meditation. Host Karena Neukirchner first introduces a specific concept for nervous system regulation—like 'glimmers,' 'resourcing,' or 'heart intelligence'—and then leads the listener through an immersive, body-focused exercise to experience it directly. It is a tool for embodied healing, not a theoretical discussion.
“Unlike general mindfulness podcasts, this show is explicitly somatic, focusing on the physical sensation of emotions. It consistently integrates specific, named modalities like Havening®, HeartMath®, and RIM® into the meditations, providing listeners with structured, therapeutic-style techniques.”

Karena Neukirchner is a trauma-informed somatic healing coach and the host of Somatic Healing Meditations. Through her practice, hello inner light, she specializes in helping people heal emotional wounds and subconscious blocks using body-centered techniques like the Havening Techniques® and Regenerating Images in Memory®.
