Host/Guide: Claudia

The meditation focuses on becoming present with physical and emotional sensations, releasing blocked energy, and cultivating relaxed awareness and self-compassion.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Introduction to Energetic Diffusion (00:13)
- Claudia introduces the practice as an "energetic diffusion technique"—aimed at:
- Processing emotions and upsets
- Resolving internal blocks
- Allowing the discharge of lingering energies and experiences
“Today we’re practicing what is called an energetic diffusion technique that will allow you to process emotions, find resolution of daily challenges, upsets and reactions, and also resolve all blocks, emotions and events that have remained in your system so they can be discharged appropriately.”
— Claudia [00:16]
2. Settling Into the Body (00:44)
- Listeners are invited to find comfort, either seated or lying down, and to let their eyes rest or close.
- Gentle reminders to simply notice the breath, without controlling it, establishing a grounding in the present moment.
3. Awareness of Sensation & Breath (01:14)
- Claudia guides attention to areas in the body where the breath feels restricted, or where there is physical pain or discomfort.
- Listeners are encouraged to observe these sensations without judgment.
“Allow your attention to float to that place that feels most restricted or dense, or even a place where you feel physical pain or discomfort in your body. Fully observe the range of sensations.”
— Claudia [01:20]
4. Meeting Discomfort with Curiosity (02:00)
- The meditation invites listeners to:
- Describe and feel the sensation.
- Stay present with it, neither avoiding nor trying to change it.
- Use the breath to support awareness and openness.
“Just let it be as it is and simply observe what you are aware of now. Truly feel the sensation. If it has changed or moved, stay with it, not trying to avoid any part of the experience. Let it be fully felt, as if to say to it, ‘I am willing to feel you.’”
— Claudia [02:11]
5. Cultivating Spaciousness & Non-Resistance (03:10)
- Claudia prompts listeners to drop the urge to control, cultivate softness, and make room for whatever is arising.
- Repeated encouragements to observe, accept, and breathe with whatever is present in both the body and mind.
“Create space for what is there. Don’t resist what you’re feeling. Just cultivate a sense of relaxation in the midst of all of it. Make no effort to control or manipulate. Be soft, spacious and at ease.”
— Claudia [03:15]
6. Staying With the Process (04:00)
- As sensations move or change, listeners are guided to follow with patience and curiosity.
- There’s an emphasis on gentle inquiry and compassionate self-presence.
“Stay with the process. Stay present and be interested and curious about what you’re feeling. If you feel yourself moving into avoidance, breathe and come back to an openness to what you’re feeling.”
— Claudia [04:13]
7. Resolution & Integration (05:02)
- Attention is brought to the point between the eyebrows, inviting deeper stillness.
- Listeners are reassured that simply being present with sensations allows for integration and release.
“Whether the sensation has shifted or not, allow integration to happen with where you are now. Trust that you have released what is ready to be released today. All you need to do is be the container in which these sensations can be held with peace and balance.”
— Claudia [05:19]
8. Returning & Closing (06:06)
- Listeners are gently invited back, encouraged to stretch and open their eyes at their own pace.
- The session ends with a breath together and an invitation to feel gratitude.
“And as you open your eyes, invite a moment of gratitude for taking care of yourself, feeling balanced, restored and capable of connecting to your daily experience with calm and ease.”
— Claudia [06:36]
