The Somatic Examen

$10.00

Stop rushing. Start reflecting. Reconnect with Grace.

Do you finish your day feeling "wired but tired"? Often, we try to pray while our nervous systems are still stuck in "fight or flight" mode. The Somatic Examen is a digital guide designed to help you transition from the chaos of your to-do list into a meaningful, grounded conversation with God.

By combining the 500-year-old wisdom of the Ignatian Examen with modern Social-Emotional (SE) grounding techniques, this practice helps you identify your emotions without judgment and offer them back to the Creator.

What’s Inside:

  • Step 1: Ask God for Light. Before looking at your day, you are invited to look at your body, identifying where you feel "space" to allow the Holy Spirit’s light to enter.

  • Step 2: Give Thanks. Practice "savoring" the day’s blessings by noticing where you feel a sense of "softening" or warmth in your physical being.

  • Step 3: Review the Day. Learn to map "Consolation" and "Desolation" through internal cues like a "knot" in the stomach or an "open" chest.

  • Step 4: Face Your Shortcomings. A shame-free approach to reflection that helps you identify the unmet needs behind your struggles.

  • Step 5: Look Toward the Day to Come. Mentally and physically rehearse tomorrow’s challenges with a regulated nervous system.

  • Closing Somatic Prayer. A final "Indwelling" practice to acknowledge the Holy Spirit’s presence within your very cells.

  • Final Surrender Pages. Dedicated space to "Leave it at the Foot of the Cross" and empty your mind of tasks so your body can fully enter sleep.
