Lesson 6 • The Tension Release Practice

Today we introduce a very special practice passed down from Swami Rudrananda: the Tension Release Practice. This technique is a powerful tool for clearing the subtle residue—what Rudi called “psychic debris”—that can build up through the intensity of meditation and everyday life. Think of it as an inner shower, a cleansing reset for your energetic body.

In the video, you’ll receive a clear explanation of the practice and how it supports your growth as an active meditator. The practice is integrated into the video. You will also hear from Acharya Abhaya and her explanation of the practice as well as guidance. Feel free to do one today, and if you would like to do it again with a fresh perspective another day you have that additional resource. Enjoy!f
