Release Your Internal Pressure – A 12-Minute Decompression

This session is an invitation to slow down and release accumulated pressure in the body and mind. Rather than trying to fix or change anything, the focus is on settling the nervous system, reconnecting with the breath, and allowing clarity to return naturally as effort drops.

You’ll be guided into gentle presence through minimal breath awareness, somatic attention, and quiet inquiry. There’s nothing to achieve here and no outcome to reach. This is a space to notice where you’re holding, let the body soften, and return to yourself without force.

You can return to this session whenever pressure builds, decisions feel heavy, or your system needs a reset.

Headphones recommended.
Come as you are.

Welcome.

Let's begin by taking a breath in through the nose.

And exhale through the mouth.

Take a moment to arrive where you are.

There's nothing that you need to prepare for.

You don't need to feel calm or open.

You don't need to feel focused.

So let your body just settle in into whatever is supporting it right now.

And if you notice the urge to do this in a particular way,

Just see if that can soften a bit too.

Just rest in the knowing that nothing needs to change for this to work.

So you can begin by noticing your breathing as it is right now.

There's no rhythm to follow.

There's no depth to achieve or reach.

Just feel the breath moving in the body.

At some point,

The body might want a longer exhale.

And if it does,

Just let that happen.

And if it doesn't,

That's fine too.

Notice where the breath is most available right now.

And just stay with the sensation of breathing rather than managing the breath.

Now gently bring attention into the body without scanning or searching.

Notice where attention naturally wants to settle right now.

And let it stay there.

You might notice tension,

Pressure,

Or holding.

And there's no need to understand it.

You can ask yourself quietly,

Where am I holding more than is required right now?

If you notice holding,

See if it can soften even slightly.

And if it doesn't,

Just stay with the sensation without asking it to change.

Often pressure releases when it's met unconditionally,

Without demand.

So as the body settles,

Just notice what it's like to be here now.

And you don't need clarity to appear.

Just notice whether there's a little less effort or a little more space.

And if the mind starts to interpret or evaluate,

Just let that pass and return to sensation.

And as we come to the end,

Just let whatever has shifted remain unfinished.

You don't need to hold on to it.

Notice how you transition back into your day.

And this is something that you can return to whenever pressure begins to build.

And if nothing much seemed to happen,

That's often a sign the system is settling.
