Feel. Name. Release.
Your body keeps the stories your mind forgets. Tension, grief, excitement, exhaustion — they all live somewhere between your jaw and your toes.
This isn't about fixing anything. It's about noticing what's already here, so it can finally exhale.
You'll visit 6 body regions, one at a time. Take a slow breath into each area and write whatever shows up — a word, a feeling, a colour, a "nothing really". There are no wrong answers.
Soften your jaw. Unclench your tongue from the roof of your mouth. Let the tiny muscles around your eyes go heavy.
Drop your shoulders away from your ears. Roll them back once.
Place one hand on your chest. Feel the rise.
This is where grief, longing, gratitude and courage all share the same sofa.
Let your belly be soft. No sucking in.
Open your palms. Shake out your fingers.
Feel the ground under your feet.
Look what you just did. You stopped and listened to your own body.
Your brain can’t heal what it refuses to feel.
Scanning the body activates the insula — the brain region responsible
for internal awareness and emotional balance.
