Guided Somatic Meditation for Emotional Release

“Movement itself is a great tool for expressing emotion.” Join dance psychotherapist and somatic practitioner Jennifer Sterling for an eight-minute immersive movement oriented meditation. Here she uses Simon Hantaï's Untitled [Suite “Blancs”] as an entry point to building somatic awareness.“There’s no right or wrong way… We learn to use our bodies as a tool for information gathering.”

As Sterling invites you to orient, meditate and move with her, reflect on what feelings are present in your body. Artful practices are tools that can translate to everyday life to help soften distress, increase joy and support overall well-being.

Let art serve as inspiration for ideas, practices, and activities that you can carry into your daily life. Artful Practices for Well-Being is a free online MoMA course available on Coursera:
