The Somatic Menagerie

The Somatic Menagerie by Heather Brito, LMHC, SP, CIMHP

Stress, grief, and anxiety don't just live in the mind. They live in the body too. The Somatic Menagerie is a gentle, guided workbook to help you come back to yourself.

Inside you'll find 25 somatic meditations, each paired with an animal companion and a mandala to color. Ground with the Elephant, breathe with the Whale, soften with the Jellyfish, and find your strength with the Lion.

Use it your way: Meditate to calm your nervous system and reconnect with your body. Color to quiet a busy mind, no meditation required. Combine both and watch what your body is feeling take shape on the page.

The back of the book explores the history of mandalas, the meaning of colors, and the symbolism of each animal through Jungian and archetypal psychology. It's perfect for personal healing, self-care, or use in therapy sessions.
