Sometimes You Need To Move Before You Can Relax

Sometimes when we’re feeling overwhelmed, the last thing our body wants is to sit still and meditate. We might want to feel calm, but our body is still buzzing with energy, tension, or agitation. In Core Energetics, we explore the concept of charge, the energy and activation we experience in our bodies. Sometimes, rather than immediately trying to calm ourselves, it can be helpful to give that activation somewhere to go through movement, sound, and physical expression. This video explores different ways to work with that energy, followed by an equally important step: slowing down, noticing what has changed, and allowing ourselves to settle. The goal isn’t simply to release tension, but to develop a better understanding of what our bodies need in different moments.
