Best for: chronic body tension and bracing
Anxiety stores itself in the body long before the mind notices. In this session you'll practise a slow, attentive scan through the places that hold tension on your behalf — jaw, shoulders, hands, belly — using gentle awareness rather than effort to invite release. The technique is somatic noticing paired with micro-softening: small, achievable shifts that let the body remember its resting state.
Releasing Held Tension is a guided audio session from Salūs Rooms — part of the 21-day anxiety collection.
