This Inner Haven Foundations episode explores glimmers — small moments of ease, connection, comfort, pleasure, or support that we can begin noticing in everyday life.
A glimmer doesn’t have to be something extraordinary. It might be sunlight coming through a window, your favorite song, a pet resting beside you, the warmth of a cup of tea, a breeze against your skin, laughter, or the feeling of getting into a comfortable bed at the end of the day.
Our minds and bodies naturally pay attention to things that might need our attention or protection. Practicing with glimmers isn’t about ignoring stress, grief, or difficult experiences. It’s about gently expanding our awareness so we can also notice the moments that feel supportive.
In this episode, we’ll explore how to recognize these moments, pause with them, and give ourselves a little more time to receive them — without trying to force ourselves to feel happy or positive.
✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:
• What glimmers are
• How glimmers relate to somatic awareness and resourcing
• Why small moments of comfort and connection matter
• Why noticing glimmers isn't the same as toxic positivity
• How to recognize your own unique glimmers
• How to pause and stay with a supportive experience
• A simple daily practice for collecting your glimmers
🕊 Episode Length: ~8 minutes
🪷 Best For: glimmers • nervous system support • somatic awareness • resourcing • mindfulness • stress support • grounding • connection • nervous system education
"These moments don't erase the difficult ones. They simply remind us that our experience can hold more than one thing at a time." 🌿
💛 Guided by Megan | Inner Haven Foundations
Over the next few days, see if you can notice one glimmer each day.
When you find one, pause for just a few seconds.
Notice it.
Feel it.
Let yourself receive it.
At the end of the day, you might ask:
What was one glimmer I noticed today?
Maybe you laughed. Maybe the sky was beautiful. Maybe you enjoyed the first sip of your coffee. Maybe someone smiled at you. Maybe your body simply felt comfortable for a moment.
It doesn't need to be profound. The practice is simply learning to notice.
