I’m honored to share that my work was recently featured in US Business News! The article explores the body-based approach to meditation at the heart of my forthcoming book and the personal journey that shaped it. I hope it offers encouragement to anyone who has ever felt that meditation just wasn’t for them.
A Gentler Way Into Meditation
So many people tell me they’ve “failed” at meditation. They couldn’t quiet their minds, sit still long enough, or follow the techniques they were taught.
Coming Home to Yourself: A Body-Based Meditation Practice for Those Who Have Tried Everything Else was written for them. Instead of starting with the mind, it begins with the body: grounding, breathing, and noticing what is present with compassionate attention.
📖 Planned for publication January 2027
Sometimes the next direction does not come from trying harder. It emerges when we become still enough to receive it. Coming Home is not about becoming a better-performing version of your old self. It is a process of listening closely enough to discover what is asking to emerge now.
— Dr. Veronika Tracy-Smith
The Story Behind the Book
The feature also shares the journey behind this work: seasons of burnout, grief and transition that reshaped my understanding of healing. From that journey came the frameworks I now teach, including the GRACE Practice™ and the Homecoming Cycle.
I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share this work more widely, and I look forward to telling you more as publication approaches.
