Best for: the dread before going back to work
Returning From Holiday is a guided meditation for the closing hours of time off, when the inbox looms and the work-self begins to stir before you've even opened the laptop. Through breath awareness and a body-led inquiry into anticipatory pressure, you'll practise meeting the nameless weight without bracing against it. The session draws on acceptance and somatic noticing to loosen the grip of pre-work dread. You'll finish able to hold the transition with more spaciousness, and meet what's coming without losing the rest you've built.
