Nervous System in Survival Mode? A Somatic Art Journal to Shift from Survival into Creation
Being Human is a commitment to transforming. Transforming into the person you need to be to receive the nourishment you deserve.
Allow a relationship with the Earth, the Feminine, and your Inner Artist to guide you through a series of somatic mirrors, doodles, coloring, and prompts. Regardless of gender. Remember Indigenous Feminine Wisdom. All by giving yourself Permission to Feel.
Release the “Work” in Being Human
This book has been specifically made with a lot of love, imperfections, and a deep desire for fun to be brought back into the process of Being Human. Being Human was never meant to be difficult. It was never meant to be serious. Being Human is fun, and this book will show you the “how” while offering you the power in reconnecting with transformation through your relationship with the Earth.
What I’m here to offer you is a path that allows you to open up that possibility and allow it to be fun. Through art as a way to communicate with the Earth. Somatics as a way to connect to your unique flavor, the deeper root of what makes you you. The Feminine as your ability to feel.

There is something deeply healing about being reminded that creativity doesn't begin in the mind.
It begins in relationship. Relationship with sensation, with curiosity, with breath, and with the quiet places within ourselves that have been waiting to be met. This is what I love about Permission to Feel. It doesn't ask you to become more creative. It gently helps you remember that the creative impulse has always been there. Through simple, body-led practices,
Jessenia offers a spacious and compassionate way of reconnecting with the Inner Artist that so many of us learned to hide. As a somatic therapist, I appreciate the care with which this book invites people away from performance and toward presence.
There is no pressure to create something beautiful. Instead, there is an invitation to listen, to play, and to discover what wants to emerge when the body feels safe enough to express itself. I can imagine this becoming a meaningful companion for anyone longing to reconnect with the healing powers of creativity, especially those who have spent years believing they were "not artistic.

A beautiful invitation to come home to yourself.
Permission to Feel is so much more than a coloring book — it is a journey into creativity, embodiment, and self-connection. Through breath, body awareness, color, and guided practices, this book creates a gentle space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the Inner Artist within.
I love how it removes the pressure to create something “perfect” and instead invites curiosity, presence, and authentic expression. It reminds us that creativity is not something we have to earn or prove — it is already within us, waiting to be welcomed home.
Permission to Feel offers a beautiful pathway back to your own aliveness.
A heartfelt, inspiring, and nourishing experience.
This is not just a book you read — it is a practice you feel ❤️
