These cues are then used as a way to guide the body toward release and regulation.

Dealing with stored emotions involves taking the time to reconnect with your body in a way that allows you to feel safe and supported.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some useful techniques for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">managing stored emotions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> somatically:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Grounding and centering<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: It\u2019s helpful to engage in techniques that require you to focus on the feeling of your feet on the ground and notice your breathing. Doing these two things can help anchor you to the present and feel grounded. By doing this, your nervous system can shift from fight-or-flight to a calmer parasympathetic state.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pendulation: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This technique requires you to gently move your attention between areas of tension and areas of ease. An example of this is noticing that your stomach is clenched but then recognizing your relaxed hands. Doing this helps your body improve its ability to hold onto uncomfortable sensations without becoming overwhelmed.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Titration: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This involves taking the time to process small chunks of intense memories or emotions as tolerated, rather than diving into all of them at once. The idea is to keep the processing of the memories and emotions in small, manageable doses so you aren\u2019t overwhelmed. This is an important part of somatic experience.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Body scanning: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a well-known aspect of meditation and involves slowly bringing awareness to different parts of the body.
