This meditation is for the days when your body feels miles away and your brain’s buffering wheel just keeps spinning. When you’re not “fine,” but you can’t fall apart either.
In The Slow Return, Sarai guides you through a nervous-system-safe experience for thawing freeze mode — the moment when your body hits pause because the world’s been too fucking much.
It’s slow. Gentle. Real.
You’ll move through breath, micro-movements, sensory grounding, and a mirror moment that helps you finally meet the part of you that’s been waiting to feel seen.
There’s no pushing, no performance, no pressure to “rise.”
This is about remembering the version of you that stayed — even when everything else shut down.
Listen when:
- You feel numb, heavy, or far from yourself.
- You’ve been in survival mode so long that peace feels foreign.
- You’re ready to stop fighting your body and start listening to it again.
You’ll leave with:
A body that feels a little less frozen.
A breath that feels like it actually belongs to you.
And a reminder that healing isn’t a race — it’s a slow return.
What is Combative Calm?
This isn’t your sugary, sweet, diabetes-inducing healing podcast.
This is Combative Calm—where nervous system regulation meets rage rituals, somatic releases, and spicy affirmations laced with f-bombs to unfck your trauma responses.
Hosted by Sarai Speer—a trauma-informed yoga + meditation teacher, somatic healer, and high-energy bitch who tells it like it is—this show delivers real tools, not toxic positivity.
It’s trauma-informed, nervous system-rooted healing for the emotionally constipated, burnout-curious, high-functioning humans who are done pretending they’re fine.
It’s time to regulate your shit.
