Welcome.
Before we begin I want to share a simple map for what we're about to do.
This is a practice inspired by the letting go method and the core of it is this.
You don't need to fight the feeling,
You don't need to fix it,
You just need to let it be felt.
So here's what we'll do.
First we'll notice what's here without judgment.
Then we'll allow the emotion or sensation to be exactly as it is.
No analysis,
No story,
Just awareness.
And finally we'll stay present and breathe until the energy begins to move.
And that's it.
The body knows how to let go.
We just need to stop interrupting the process.
Now we begin.
Take a moment to let yourself land here.
Let your body settle.
Let your breath slow.
Let your mind begin to quiet.
You don't need to be anywhere else.
You don't need to become anything.
You don't need to figure anything out.
This isn't a practice of fixing.
It's a practice of facing.
Most of us don't feel our emotions.
We manage them,
Push them down,
Try to make sense of them,
Talk around them.
But we rarely let them be.
And the more we resist,
The louder they get.
Grief becomes fatigue.
Anger becomes tension.
Fear becomes overthinking.
Letting go doesn't mean pretending it doesn't matter.
It simply means giving the feeling room to move.
So this is your invitation to be still.
To stop running.
To notice what's here.
Not to fix it.
Not to turn it into a project.
Just to be with it exactly as it is.
Take a breath in.
Let it go.
Again in.
And release.
There is no perfect way to do this.
Just keep arriving right here,
Right now.
Let your attention gently come to the body.
Notice where it touches the ground.
Notice the weight of the body.
The shape of the body.
The space it takes up.
Let yourself be held.
Let the earth or the chair support you fully.
And without needing to change it,
Bring your attention to your breath.
Noticing it in the chest,
The ribs or the belly.
Again not changing it,
Just noticing how your breath is moving.
And now gently bring your attention to whatever you're feeling in this moment.
Don't go looking for something intense.
Just notice what's there.
Maybe a tightness or a dullness.
A flicker of something.
Where do you feel it in your body?
You don't need to name it.
Just get curious about the sensation.
And now we stay.
You're not trying to change it or explain it or understand it.
You're just letting it be here.
You might notice your mind jumping in,
Trying to fix or label or trying to tell a story.
And that's okay.
But for now just come back to the body and let the sensation be what it is.
Heavy,
Flat,
Sharp,
Empty,
Full.
Whatever it is,
Let it be.
If you feel the urge to move away,
Notice that too.
That's a part of you trying to protect.
You don't have to push away.
Just stay.
Remind yourself whatever you're feeling,
You've already survived it.
Now you're just letting it move.
If tears come,
Let them.
If nothing comes,
Let that be true too.
There's no right outcome here,
Nothing to manage.
Only presence and noticing.
This is how the body releases.
This is how the nervous system resets.
Through permission,
Not pressure.
Through space,
Not strategy.
Just be here.
Stay with what's real.
Let it move.
Through permission,
Not pressure.
Through space,
Not strategy.
Just be here.
Stay with what's real.
And let it move.
There is no need to rush.
No need to figure anything out.
This isn't a moment to solve.
It's a moment to feel.
Let the sensation rise.
Let it swell.
Let it flicker.
Let it fall.
Let it move or leave when it's ready.
Not when you want it to.
And if it doesn't leave or move,
That's okay too.
Your presence is enough.
You're not behind.
You're not doing it wrong.
You're a body letting go at a pace it's ready for.
And that is more than enough.
When you're ready,
Let your breath deepen.
Let your awareness come back to the space around you.
Feel the weight of your body again.
Feel the ground.
Feel the room.
And if your body wants to move,
Let it move.
A sigh,
A stretch,
A yawn,
A shift.
That's energy integrating.
You didn't fix anything.
You didn't force anything.
You just let yourself feel.
That's the work.
That's the healing.
And take one more breath in.
And let it go.
And know you can come back to this practice anytime.
