Welcome,
My name is Eli.
I'm a transformation guide,
Manic practitioner,
Yoga teacher and energy healer based in Bali.
After 15 years in corporate tech world and two burnouts,
I turned towards the healing arts.
I now help high achieving professionals and conscious leaders reconnect with their body's wisdom,
Release stored tension and restore balance through embodied healing practices like my official release yoga breath work and energy work.
My work bridges the practical with the spiritual and I'm really glad you are here.
Take a moment to get comfortable.
You can sit upright or lean back against the wall.
Anything that allows your shoulders to soften and your breath to deepen.
If you'd like,
Play some gentle music in the background.
And when you're ready,
Slowly close your eyes.
Inhale through the nose and exhale through your relaxed mouth.
Let your attention settle into your body.
Bring one hand or both hands to your temples.
Without changing anything yet,
Simply notice what is present here.
Are your temples tight,
Warm,
Pulsing?
Do they feel heavy,
Tender?
Are overstimulated from screen time or mental effort?
It's not right sensation.
You're just meeting yourself exactly as you are.
Take a long inhale and a soft,
Slow exhale.
You have two options to work on the temples.
Either using your fingertips on knuckles or using a release ball like a tennis ball.
I recommend focusing on one side at a time for deeper awareness and better adjustment.
If you're short on time,
You can work on both sides together.
You begin with the right temple.
Gently place your fingertips,
Knuckles or the ball on the soft tissue of your temples.
Begin with the lightest pressure,
Just enough to feel contact.
Take a breath.
Notice how your body responds.
If your system feels safe,
Invite a little more pressure.
Stay within comfortable discomfort,
Never pain.
You may gently lean your head toward your right shoulder,
Allowing a bit more weight to rest on your fingers or the ball.
Just let you fine-tune the intensity.
Take some slow cycles of breath.
In through the nose and out through the mouth.
Soften.
Stay here until you feel something shifts in your temple or until your body feels complete with this point.
Then slowly draw small circles around the temple to discover other sensitive spots.
Whenever you find one,
Pause and hold steady pressure.
Let the tissue melt under your touch.
Inhale through the nose,
Out through the mouth.
Let the tension sigh out.
Imagine the sides of your head softening.
Space behind your eyes loosening.
Keep your jaw gently released.
If your body signals stress or overwhelm,
Lighten the pressure.
Stay with this spot and the sensations for a few more breaths.
Give it your attention,
Your care,
Your presence.
If emotions arise,
If you feel warmth,
Tingling,
Or a wave of tiredness,
This is completely natural.
The brush is connected to both your physical and emotional body.
Stay here for one more breath and slowly release your hands.
Feel into your right temple.
Notice what has shifted.
Gently massage the area,
Cup your hand over it or allow any small movement your body requests.
And if you feel complete,
Move to your left temple.
Repeat the same exploration and release that we just did.
Take your time with it.
You can either pause this recording or go back to where we started working on the right temple,
But apply it to your left temple.
Now that you're also done with your left temple,
Come into a rebound minute.
Pause.
Do nothing.
Let your hands rest in your lap,
Your jaw loosen,
And your breath be natural.
This moment of stillness allows your fascia to reorganize,
Hydrate,
And integrate that release.
Notice the after sensations.
Maybe one side feels different from the other.
Maybe there's more space.
Maybe the mind feels a little quieter.
Let everything settle and take one more slow breath.
Please come back to this recording as often as it feels useful for you.
Or can your right temple,
Your left temple,
Both at the same time,
Whatever works.
But I hope this short practice helped you soften your temples and ease any tension building into a headache.
To support full integration,
You may want to listen to the track Deep Rest Savasana,
Integrate,
Soften,
Restore.
Or simply give yourself a few minutes of quiet time,
Letting your breath engulf your body.
Unwind.
Please drink water throughout the day to help your body flush out any stagnant energy and toxins released from the tissue.
If you'd like more guided sessions,
You'll find many myofascial release tracks on my profile.
From full body releases to targeted releases for specific areas of tension like the jaw,
Upper shoulders,
Neck,
And many more.
Also welcome to join any of my upcoming classes.
Please follow my profile to receive updates on new tracks,
Courses,

Thank you for being here.
I'll see you in the next practice.
May your body be your greatest teacher,
Your breath your guide,
And your heart your home.
