What if the missing piece in your healing journey isn’t another to-do... but simply learning how to slow down and feel safe in your body again?
Hi, I’m Eileen — and in this episode of The Peaceful Plate Podcast, I’ll guide you through a grounding practice to help you shift into your body’s natural healing state.
We’ll move gently through three supportive steps:
– Landing in your body
– Deepening your breath
– Quieting the mind
Then you’ll be guided through a simple relaxation practice you can return to anytime you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or disconnected.

03:15 Guided Practice to Turn On the Relaxation Response

You’ll hear me talk about activating the relaxation response — part of your parasympathetic nervous system.
Even though I don’t go deep into the science in this episode, here’s something important to know: healing happens when your body feels safe.
This calm state tells your nervous system it’s okay to rest, digest, and repair.
Your nervous system has memory. The more you practice, the easier it becomes to shift into this healing mode.
Come back to this practice whenever you need to reconnect and remind your body that it’s safe to relax.
I’m so glad you’re here. Take your time, and let this be a space to land.
