After the News

11 min

Best for: settling after distressing news

Designed for the half-hour after a difficult scroll, this session helps you metabolise the chemistry that headlines, clips, and threads leave in the body. You'll practise slow breathing and gentle attention to release the residual adrenaline that lingers after the phone goes face-down. The work is not to forget what you read, but to let the chest and shoulders be told the moment has passed. By the end, the room can feel still again, and so can you.
