The Fourth episode of the Treehouse Project, this guided meditation invites you into the depths of your own body, where sensations hold stories and fear is simply courage waiting to unfold.
Born from a deeply attuned therapeutic relationship, this meditation was originally created for someone who had spent years building resilience, learning to meet their panic with compassion. Through accompaniment and somatic presence, they discovered the power of moving toward rather than away from the energy locked in their nervous system. With time and care, they found their own ability to hold what once felt unbearable.
Now, this meditation exists as a bridge, for them and for you. A resource to accompany you as you turn toward the sensations within, knowing you are not alone.
With gentle guidance, we will:
• Locate the places inside holding tension or emotion
• Meet them with presence instead of avoidance
• Offer them care, breath, and attunement
• Move with what arises, trusting your body’s wisdom
This is a space of deep listening—to your body, to your inner child, and to the wisdom that unfolds when we allow ourselves to stay.
Integration and Self-Care
After this meditation, you will find guidance on how to care for yourself after deep inner work, along with practical integration support. Drink water, journal, move, rest, or seek connection. However you choose to tend to yourself, know that you are worthy of it.
*Trying to capture a deeply attuned dyadic intervention in a meditation was something I had never done before. There are things I would tweak next time, but this is the original offering for the Treehouse Project exhibition. It was meaningful to create, and I look forward to developing this skill further*
In celebration of this release, donations have been made to the Irish Wildlife Trust, an offering back to the land that holds us. And in honour of the one and only Hozier, whose artistry reminds us that music, activism, and reverence for nature are deeply intertwined.
Take your time. You are held.
