About this meditation
Tense and Release teaches the body to distinguish contraction from release. You tense one muscle group briefly, stop the effort, and study the after-effect before moving on. This creates a clear sensory contrast that passive relaxation often lacks. You train voluntary relaxation, tension recognition, and a more accurate sense of where the body is still bracing. The sequence shows the body that effort can stop.
Keep your practice comfortable. You can pause, stop, or return to natural breathing whenever you need.
