Meditation for Secure Attachment with Yourself (Self-Love Isn’t a Feeling. It’s a Relationship.)

What if self-love isn’t something you feel… but something you create? 💫

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, we explore a completely different way of understanding self-love. It’s a view rooted in developmental psychology, somatic healing, and the attachment patterns that shape our inner world.

You’ll learn how the four-step attachment cycle becomes a powerful, research-backed blueprint for creating secure attachment with yourself.

Even if you didn’t grow up with consistent emotional attunement, your body can still learn what it feels like to be truly seen, supported, and loved from the inside out.

We’ll talk about why so many of us struggle to feel safe with ourselves, how to gently re-pattern those old dynamics, and what it means to create a felt sense of inner trust and belonging. 🌱

Then, I’ll guide you through a somatic meditation based on the attachment cycle using Regenerating Images in Memory®. This is a deeply intuitive process that helps you attune to your real needs and respond with care.

💗 If you want to move from thinking about self-love to feeling implicitly loved, this episode is for you.
