Best for: long-held bodily tension and chronic alert
This session uses the image of an old guitar tuned a half-step too tight — nothing broken, only wound a fraction sharper than home. You'll practise gentle awareness of the body's quiet, long-held tension, and let the strings of the nervous system slowly settle back toward their natural pitch. A grounding, unhurried practice for anyone whose body has been on alert for so long it has forgotten what ease feels like. Best paired with a quiet room and a few unhurried minutes.
Settling the Nervous System is a guided audio session from Salūs Rooms — part of the 21-day anxiety collection.
