Beyond the Numb is a gentle 15-minute guided journey designed to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have gone quiet, frozen, or numb. Through breath, somatic awareness, and symbolic storytelling, this meditation invites warmth back into the body not by force, but through safety, tenderness, and slow reawakening.
This journey explores the archetype of the Healer / the Phoenix, guiding you across the frozen landscape of emotional numbness toward a deeper truth: feeling deeply is how we stay alive.
Use this practice when you feel disconnected, shut down, overwhelmed, or unsure how to begin feeling again.

Journal Prompts (Optional)
Where does numbness show up most clearly in my life or body?
What emotions do I avoid because they feel overwhelming or unsafe?
What small signals tell me that warmth or feeling is beginning to return?
How can I create more safety for myself to feel — even 1% more?
What does the “Healer” archetype represent to me, and how can I embody it?
Safety Note
This journey is not a replacement for therapy or crisis support.
If emotional numbness is connected to trauma, depression, or ongoing distress, please seek professional guidance.
Move slowly.
Pause the practice if anything becomes overwhelming.
Your pace is valid.
Your safety comes first.
