A lot of people carry grief and other stored emotions in their body without even knowing it.

This simple pressure technique under your nose and chin can unlock trapped emotions instantly, even ones you’ve held since childhood.

Here’s how to release it

Grief doesn’t just “go away.”

It’s stored in the body, in your lungs, jaw, diaphragm, even the space beneath your nose.

That tightness in your throat? The sigh that never finishes?

That’s grief, stuck.

Here’s the exact technique I used to release it:

•Place your right middle finger right beneath your nose (the philtrum).
•At the same time, place your left fist gently under your chin, pressing upward.
•Sit tall.
•Close your eyes.
•Start 6 slow breaths in through your nose, out through your nose or mouth.

If it feels right, add some affirmation, whatever is on your heart.

What’s actually happening here?

•The point beneath the nose (GV26) activates the vagus nerve, limbic system, and even the brainstem, resetting your nervous system.
•The chin pressure stimulates the hyoid region, where unspoken words and emotional tension live.
•Together, this taps into the grief centers of the body.

This isn’t wooo stuff, It’s somatic healing.

When you combine:

✓ Physical pressure
✓ Breath
✓ Intention

you give your body permission to finally let go.

Tears may come. Yawns. Shivers. Peace.

All normal.

The body remembers everything the mind tries to forget.

You don’t need 10 years of therapy to feel whole again.

Sometimes it’s as simple as touch + breath + presence.

Try this today 🫂

I hope this made you feel something and you feel more connected to yourself.
