Muscle Relaxation & Physical Discharge

Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm don’t just live in the mind—they show up in the body, too. Muscles may tighten, energy can feel stuck, or you might feel disconnected from physical sensations altogether.

This page offers gentle, free body-based tools to help release tension and support your nervous system. These practices are meant to be flexible and choice-based. You don’t need to do them perfectly, and you’re encouraged to move at your own pace.

If you’re not sure where to start, choose the section that best matches how your body feels right now.
