Lie on your side or back, one hand on your lower belly and the other over your heart.
Breathe in gently and whisper: “This is mine now. All of it.”
Let any sensation (grief, peace, numbness) rise without agenda.
Sitting or lying, gently press the heels of your hands into your hip bones.
Feel your skeletal edges.
Say (silently or aloud): “I know where I begin and end.”
This restores body-mapping and invites grounded boundary repair.
If you have visible scars, trace them slowly with your fingertips like reading Braille.
Say: “Thank you for what you carried. Thank you for healing in your own way.”
If not visible, imagine the internal scar tissue with the same reverence.
Run a soft fabric, feather, or oil-slick hand along the inner thighs, back of knees, or collarbone—areas that often awaken the erotic without triggering.
Ask: What does this awaken? What does this soothe?
No goal, just presence.
