A Quick Energy Clearing Practice

Sometimes an interaction, a stressful moment, or a busy day can leave you feeling like you’re carrying a little extra energy with you.

In this short body brushing practice, you’ll use gentle sweeping movements over the body to reconnect with physical sensation, notice what shifts, and create a sense of clearing and reset.

Use it after a difficult interaction, before meditation or another intentional practice, or anytime you want to pause and come back to yourself.

No tools are needed, just your hands, your body, and a few minutes to notice what you feel.

Super simple and very adaptable to life! As a school psychologist, as the mom, working with many humans, I will definitely be incorporating this practice. I really like how you said to picture brushing off pet hair. This will help me!
