Softening the Places We Hold

from Peaceful Journey: 7-Minute Meditations and Musings · host Deb Phelps

This 7-minute guided meditation invites you to gently notice where energy quietly drains — not through dramatic stress, but through subtle patterns of holding, effort, and tension that often feel normal over time.Rather than focusing on release or change, this practice emphasizes awareness before letting go. You’ll be guided to listen to the body with kindness, soften your relationship to effort, and create space without pressure or fixing.This meditation is especially supportive if:* your energy feels quietly depleted or heavy* you notice familiar patterns of tension or over-effort* you tend to push through instead of pausing* you want to meet stress with awareness rather than forceClearing what drains us doesn’t mean becoming lighter overnight.It means becoming more spacious, more honest, and more supported.Awareness itself begins the work.🌿 January Theme: Energy☀️ Week 2 Practice: Softening the Places We HoldFor more meditations and teachings on January’s Energy theme, visit peacefulwellness.studio and join The PEACEFUL Path.You’re also warmly invited to our free Skool community at peacefulwellnessgroup.com, where women gather to practice awareness, rest, and gentle presence together.
