Finding Safety in Uncertain Times: A Guided Meditation for Adoptees

In this special episode of The Empowered Adoptee Podcast, Laurie offers a gentle, grounding guided meditation to help adoptees regulate their nervous systems and cultivate a sense of safety amidst uncertainty.

With so much unknown in the world, especially for Korean American adoptees facing the fear of deportation, it is essential to have tools that help us feel anchored and supported. This meditation is an invitation to reconnect with your breath, your body, and the deep knowing that you are safe, held, and loved.

Let this be a space where you can exhale, soften, and come back home to yourself.

This episode also serves as a compassionate container for our next discussion, which will touch on the difficult and complex realities of adoptee deportation. May this practice support you in navigating any emotions that arise with love and kindness.

Take a deep breath, and let’s begin.


We are super excited to announce our upcoming Empowered Adoptee Retreats!
