340 – Somatic Mindfulness Practice: Softening Into Feminine Strength

This is a body-centered practice exploring the feminine work of softening and receiving – moving from “I’ve got this” to “I need help.”
In this 10-minute practice, you’ll be guided to:
Ground and settle, remembering that Hashem is breathing life into you
Notice how independence feels – the tightening, grasping, holding on
Explore vulnerability as feminine strength – softening your shoulders, holding your head high
Practice what it feels like in your body to receive help instead of controlling everything
Move between tightening and softening to feel the contrast
Rest in the vulnerability of asking for your needs to be met, rewiring your nervous system to receive
This practice helps you recognize when you’re holding and controlling, and builds your capacity to soften into your femininity and receive what you need.

When to Use This Practice:
– After listening to “Vulnerability in Marriage: Learning to Need Your Spouse”
– When you’ve been handling everything alone and notice you’re tight and tense
– When you need to practice softening before asking your husband for help
– As a way to reconnect with feminine strength (not masculine control)
– When you catch yourself tightening, grasping, trying to do it all
– To build your capacity to receive instead of only giving
