For the Anxious Hours When It's All Too Much: Somatic Prayer With Divine

Use somatic prayer for the moments when your nervous system feels pushed to the edge. Ana Mael offers more than words—she offers a relational space with the Divine, where overwhelm, fear and anxiety softens and the body remembers safety.

This episode is not instructional or analytical—it is experiential. Ana Mael guides the listener through a deeply felt, somatic prayer invoking the Divine as a holding field—a co-regulatory presence where pain can be witnessed, grief released, and softening begins. It is a trauma-informed spiritual immersion.

“In the pregnant pause, you’ll start to feel. In relational space, relief will show up on your face.”

This poetic, minimalist episode—“The Day With Divine”—serves as a sacred pause, a gentle invocation to enter relational space with the Divine for grief and anxiety release, nervous system softening, and trauma-informed self-attunement.

When you’re overwhelmed, anxious, or triggered—this isn’t only about calming down. It’s about being witnessed.

 

 

Main Takeaway

Healing begins in the pause—not in the fixing, striving, or explaining.
It is in the "pregnant pause,” the felt relational moment, that softness, grief, and trust can begin to re-emerge.

“Let that happen. Soften and lean into the holding with the divine.”

What This Gentle Prayer Can Offer Your Nervous System

• A co-regulatory somatic space for listeners with trauma, dissociation, or emotional overwhelm to lean into tenderness rather than collapse.

• Spiritual safety for those harmed by religious or authoritarian spiritual environments, by offering the Divine not as judge, but as witness.

• A felt sense of acceptance—not through words, but through presence.

For listeners with trauma histories—especially marginalized, exiled, or emotionally neglected individuals—this offers a rare space of non-demanding, embodied belonging.

How to Use Somatic Prayer

• As a grounding practice  during moments of overwhelm or disconnection

• At the start or end of therapy sessions, particularly somatic or spiritual therapy

• In spiritual trauma recovery, as an alternative image of Divine love: not patriarchal or moralistic, but co-regulatory and tender

• In grief work or emotional release sessions, to help attune the nervous system to presence and safety

  Repeatable Practice

  This prayer is meant to be replayed—not just heard once. Its healing potential lies in repetition and nervous system re-patterning through gentle voice tone, rhythm, and poetic cadence.

  You can:

  • Play it during morning or nighttime rituals

  • Use it to reconnect with their breath, heart, or tears

  • Build a consistent ritual of “being with”—rather than bypassing or fixing
