Join me, Stacy Ruse, LPC, for a brief, guided somatic practice to help you find your center and rebalance your nervous system. From a trauma-therapy perspective, engaging the body through contralateral movement—or crossing the midline—is a powerful tool to help us physically and metaphorically find our center. In this video, I explore the simple yet profound act of bringing our palms together at the midline. This integrative practice helps us: ✨ Activate the Ventral Vagal state: From a polyvagal lens, crossing the midline strengthens our nervous system's capacity to move into safety, connection, and balance. ✨ Honor our energetic centers: Drawing from somatic therapy, yoga, and transpersonal wisdom, we cross over our energetic centers to unite the mind, body, and spirit. ✨ Cultivate gratitude: We use this sacred hand posture (mudra) at the midline as an anchor for care, humanity, and gratitude. I invite you to adapt this gesture to any meaning that supports your authentic Self today. When practiced consistently, this is a beautiful, trauma-informed resource you can return to whenever you need to feel more grounded.
