Chest & Upper Body Opener | 20 Minutes

Scroll through the images to hear a sample of this practice before you purchase.

Continuous guided practice. No equipment needed.

The heart is often the last line of defense. It is where the body stores some of its most intense emotional weight, and the downstream effects of that holding show up as tightness in the jaw, tension in the neck, bracing through the upper back, and an overall sense of being armored. Releasing here has a ripple effect through the entire upper chain.

This practice works through three layers, moving from the inside out:

• An breathwork & guided visualization practice made to identify areas of resistance, soften the protective armor held in the chest, and invite the heart space to open
• CV17 acupressure from traditional Chinese medicine to deepen the release
• A physical chest opener to close, allowing the body to complete what the breath began

Supports release through the chest, upper back, neck, jaw, and head.

This is the same practice from the Come Back to Your Body pack, available here as a standalone for anyone working specifically with upper body and heart space tension.
