Tense & Release - A Progressive Muscle Relaxation

In this practice, you will be guided to bring awareness around the body where you will tense and contract the muscles before releasing them. This can support you in releasing tension that has built up in the body due to stress and anxiety. You will then be guided into a few rounds of physiological sign breathing to help regulate the nervous system. This practice can be done any time of day but may be especially helpful at the end of your day to help support relaxation and a better night's sleep.

Thank you Kirsty. That was excellent!
The combination of the breathing with the tensing along with your calm voice really put me in a wonderful place.

A perfect way to wind down and release before bed. Thank you Kirsty 💙

After an incredible tense day, I knew I wanted to try this meditation, and it did EXACTLY what I hoped for. Kirsty, thank you. ❤️
