Deeply Embodied

A Practical Spiral Movement Guide for the Cores of Healing

Deeply Embodied is an invitation to come home to yourself — to live in your body with awareness, compassion, and trust. In this powerful guide, Nicola Ball offers practical tools and gentle guidance for reconnecting with your body’s wisdom, healing old wounds, and cultivating a deeper sense of peace and presence. Through mindful movement, breathwork, and emotional release techniques, you’ll learn to dissolve patterns of tension and create a life that feels grounded, joyful, and fully alive.

This is the companion book to Deeply Well: The Four-Phase Path to Energetic Healing and Inner Integration—the foundational guide that introduced the Deeply Well Method and the seven Cores of Healing. While Deeply Well offered the why, Deeply Embodied gives you the how.

This is not a book of theory. It’s a book of practice.
A daily, pick-up-and-go guide to nervous system regulation, emotional release, and somatic restoration—designed to meet you exactly where you are, in the body you have, with the energy you’re carrying today.

Whether you’re overwhelmed, shut down, anxious, numb, or somewhere in between, this book provides real-time tools to gently bring your system back to centre. You won’t find rigid routines or one-size-fits-all formulas. Instead, you’ll find rhythms. Invitations. Movement as medicine.

What’s Inside?

• Trauma-sensitive movement flows for each Core of Healing (short, medium, and longer sessions)

• Regulating breathwork practices tailored to specific emotional states

• EFT tapping scripts, guided self-touch, and subtle somatic unwinding

• Restorative poses for grounding, release, grief, and reconnection

• Core-specific rituals including sound, stillness, and embodied presence

• A 30-Day Embodiment Journey for deeper integration

• Plus: Daily rhythms, journaling cues, affirmations, and sensory tools

You’ll move through the same seven Cores introduced in Deeply Well—not as chakras or abstract concepts, but as living centres of emotional memory and energetic intelligence in your own body:

1. Core of Safety – Grounding and anchoring

2. Core of Feeling – Emotional fluidity and permission

3. Core of Will – Boundaries, agency, and inner fire

4. Core of Compassion – Grief, heart presence, and connection

5. Core of Expression – Voice, self-truth, and communication

6. Core of Insight – Intuition, clarity, and quiet knowing

7. Core of Connection – Trust, spiritual belonging, and presence

Who This Book Is For

• You’re tired of thinking about healing and ready to feel it

• You need short, flexible practices you can actually do in real life

• You want to regulate your nervous system without needing to be “calm” all the time

• You feel the pull to move—but gently, and with care

• You want to reconnect with your breath, body, and energy in a way that feels human, not performative

This book honours that healing is cyclical. It offers you a spiral map—not a straight line—through breath, movement, presence, and permission. Whether you use it in 10-minute windows or hour-long sessions, Deeply Embodied gives you a practice for when your mind is overloaded and your body needs to lead.

You don’t need to be spiritual, bendy, or emotionally fluent. You don’t even need to be “ready.” You just need a place to begin.

Let this be your place. Let this be your return.

This is Deeply Embodied.
