Embodied Recovery Toolkit: 5 Somatic Practices for Grounding & Presence
Your nervous system regulation starter pack—designed for abstainers in recovery
When urges hit, shame spirals start, or you feel disconnected from your body, these five practices help you come back to center. No willpower required—just body-based tools that actually work.
In this collection, Dr. Kristina guides you through five somatic practices specifically designed for people in food addiction recovery. These aren’t your typical “close your eyes and relax” meditations—they’re grounded, practical tools that help you regulate your nervous system, connect with your body, and stay present when recovery gets hard.
🌿 What's included:
Leaning Into Support (10 min)
A gentle practice that helps you physically feel what it's like to receive support, challenging the belief that you have to do everything alone
Orienting to Safety (12 min)
Learn how to recalibrate your nervous system by connecting to your environment, especially helpful when anxiety or danger signals arise
Everyday Embodiment: Finding Presence in Everyday Activities (8 min)
Transform mundane tasks like brushing your teeth or washing dishes into opportunities for grounded awareness
Grounding Through the Senses (11 min)
Use sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell to anchor yourself in the present moment when you feel scattered or overwhelmed
Mindful Movement Practice: Ground, Wake, and Flow (9 min)
A playful, intuitive movement practice to release tension, shake off stress, and reconnect with your body's natural wisdom
Why these practices work:
Nervous system first
When you're dysregulated, talking yourself through it rarely works. These practices help you shift your state from the body up
Recovery-informed
Rooted in recovery principles, this toolkit helps you reconnect with your body safely and sustainably—without breaking the boundaries that keep you grounded
Accessible & practical
No yoga mat required, no perfect posture needed. Do them sitting, standing, or wherever you are
Build resilience over time
Each practice strengthens your capacity to stay present, self-soothe, and choose recovery-aligned actions
What you'll experience:
Real-time regulation
Tools you can use the moment you feel activated, not just when you have time for formal meditation
Body reconnection
Learn to trust your body's signals again instead of living in your head or on autopilot
Safety and grounding
Practices that help your nervous system recognize: I'm okay. I'm here. I'm safe.
Gentle self-compassion
These aren't about pushing through or forcing yourself to feel better—they're about meeting yourself exactly where you are
Recovery isn’t just about what you don’t eat. It’s about how you live in your body, how you meet difficult moments, and how you cultivate presence in a world that constantly pulls you away from yourself.
These practices are some of my most cherished tools—the ones I come back to again and again when I need to ground, regulate, or simply remember that I’m safe in my own skin.
They’re not quick fixes. They’re invitations to practice a different way of being—one where you don’t have to fight yourself, force yourself, or fix yourself. You just have to show up and let your body do what it already knows how to do: find its way back to center.
