This 10-minute guided somatic meditation helps you build a new, healing relationship with fatigue. Instead of treating tiredness as a sign of failure or dysfunction, this practice invites you to understand it as your brain’s way of protecting you...  a learned neuroplastic pattern that can be gently re-trained.
 
Through slow pacing, grounded language, and somatic tracking, you’ll explore sensations of tiredness with curiosity rather than resistance. You’ll learn to listen to the body’s messages, sense the protection beneath exhaustion, and cultivate safety, kindness, and outcome-independence.
 
As you rest into the rhythm of your breath, you’ll be guided to soften inner pressure, release self-criticism, and allow fatigue to transform from an enemy into an ally.
 
Use this meditation when:
You feel weighed down, foggy, or depleted
You’ve been pushing yourself through stress, pressure, or performance mode
You want to reconnect with your body’s rhythm of rest and safety
You need a gentle reminder: “Fatigue is not failure, it’s protection.”
