About this episode

Julia guides listeners through a breathing exercise to help release tension and promote relaxation on a Wednesday morning.

Hey there, I'm Julia, and welcome to Relaxation. I'm so glad you're here, especially on a Wednesday morning when the week is probably tugging at you in about seventeen different directions. You know that feeling? When your shoulders are somewhere up by your ears and your mind is already spinning through your entire to-do list before you've even had coffee? Yeah. That's exactly what we're here to shift today. Let's start by just finding a comfortable seat, somewhere that feels like a little sanctuary just for you. Maybe that's on your couch, your bed, or even in your car before the day officially starts. There's no wrong answer. Just somewhere you can settle in without feeling like you need to be anywhere else for the next few minutes. Now, I want you to notice where you're holding tension right now. Don't judge it, just observe it like you're a curious scientist. Is it in your jaw? Your neck? Your chest? Just acknowledging it is the first step toward letting it go. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to practice something I call the Body Melt. It's deceptively simple, but it works beautifully. Take a slow breath in through your nose for a count of four. Feel that breath…
