This exercise is designed to help you feel your body more deeply, and to help you discover places where you're carrying excess energy in your body. To begin the exercise, sit or lie down and start to relax. Just settle back and begin to relax as you've done in previous exercises. Pay particular attention to your breathing. See what it feels like to let your breathing come and go. Don't try to control it in any way. Just let it come and go. Let your breath be easy. No need to control it at all. Just let it come and go.
Now, begin to relax even deeper. Just let go and relax. Let your energy come and go. Let your energy release. Let go of whatever may come up in your body, and just let yourself relax. Let your breathing come easily. Just continue letting go. Let go of whatever may come up in your body. Let go of any sensation, any fear, any feeling of despair, or unhappiness. Just let go of whatever may come up, and let the energy flow through your body. Let go, and let the energy flow. Don't hold anything back. Just let it flow.
Letting the energy deepen in your body. Now, go deeper into your body. Let the energy flow through more deeply. Notice if any place in your body is holding onto anything particularly tightly. Do you feel pain anywhere? Or tension? Or anything, deeply? Do you feel energy that needs to release in some way? If so, can you begin letting go in that place? Can you let go of all the energy in that place? Can you let go of the tension? Can you just keep letting go?
It's possible to let go of all the energy in your body in this way. All you need to do is continue letting go. Let go of whatever is blocking your progress. Let go of whatever is blocking you. Don't hold on at all. Just continue letting go.
Travel to another place & find the sensation.
Go to another place in your body now. Find another place where there may be pain, or tension, or fear. Just go into that place and see what, if anything, it may have to tell you. Look at it and see what it has for you. Can it tell you something? Can it show you something? Maybe it's a feeling. Or a sensation. Is there something that feeling or sensation has for you? Can you look at it and see anything in particular?
If so, what does it mean? What does that place have to tell you? Just let that energy go now and see what it has to say to you. The sensation can leave, if it's ready. You don't have to hold onto it. Just let the energy go, and see if you can notice a new feeling in that place. Can you let go of some of the stress, or tension, or fear? Can you let go of whatever is holding you back in that place? Can you let go of anything that's there?
Letting go isn't such a difficult thing.
Sometimes, we hold onto things because we don't know how to release them. Can you learn to release what you're holding onto in this way? Does it feel possible to let go of that place you've been feeling? Can you let go of any tension, or fear, that's in that place? Can you just let go? Can you let go and feel your body more in that place?
What would it be like to feel your body, and see what's there? What would it be like to feel your body and let go of anything that's happening in it? Can you begin to do this? To feel many places in your body, and just let go of whatever is there. Can you feel your body and get in touch with places where there's fear, or tension, or grief, or stress? Just letting go and feeling the places that hurt. Or where you can feel tension in some way.
Just let go now and feel the tension releasing from your body. Go into your body one more time and see what it feels like to release tension. To let go and release whatever needs to release. Continue letting go in this way until you feel ready to complete the exercise and return to the space around you.
