This pendulating exercise is practicing moving closer towards the difficult sensations and then retreating back to a safer, more neutral place.
Imagine having a tool in your pocket that helps you handle intense emotions and the lingering effects of trauma. Leeds Recovery College Meditation's latest episode introduces just that with the pendulating exercise, a technique from somatic experiencing therapy. Hosted by Daniel John Tavet, this session is perfect for those who find traditional mindfulness practices a bit too overwhelming. The pendulating exercise is all about tuning into your body's sensations.
It guides you to identify distressing emotions or physical discomfort and then retreat to a safer, more neutral space. This practice can be a game-changer for managing not only emotional turbulence but also physical pain. Daniel recommends trying this exercise when you're already feeling relatively calm, making it easier to connect with your body without feeling overwhelmed. You'll be invited to find a private, comfortable spot to practice.
The beauty of this exercise lies in its simplicity—there's no right or wrong way to do it. It's about listening to your body and responding to what it needs in the moment. Daniel's soothing voice and expert guidance make this session accessible for everyone, whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner. Incorporating the pendulating exercise into your routine can offer multiple benefits.
It can help you manage physical pain, provide emotional shelter during distressing times, and create a sense of calm within your body. Daniel also suggests checking out Peter Levine's book 'Healing Trauma' for more insights into somatic experiencing. So why not give it a try? Tune in and discover how this simple yet effective exercise can help you find balance and calmness in your daily life.
