Stepping Through the Door
Best for: pre-exam nerves and performance pressure
This session is for the tense minutes before you walk into an exam, when the body switches itself on ahead of schedule, pulse outrunning its resting count, breath sitting high in the chest, a faint restlessness with no clear cause. You will learn to notice that anticipatory surge without being swept away by it, recognising it as readiness rather than threat. Through slow, grounded attention to breath and body, you practise letting the charge settle into focused energy. By the end you can step through the door calmer, clearer, and in command of your own attention.
