How can we navigate through contraction into expansion during times of collective awakening?
Welcome to episode 14 of Transformative Harmonics with your host Paula Scatoloni, LCSW, SEP. In this solo teaching, Paula explores the natural cycles of contraction and expansion within the nervous system and how these states influence our capacity for connection, resilience, and awakening.
Drawing from somatic experiencing, trauma-informed practice, and sound therapy, she invites you to slow down, notice your internal landscape, and cultivate deeper receptivity to life. Paula guides grounding exercises, explores how sound supports emotional healing, and explains how awareness of contraction and expansion can help us navigate the larger collective awakening unfolding across humanity today.
