Release Your Sadness

Nathan explains that when you're very worked up or have been through a tough time, it's nearly impossible to focus on relaxing or on bodily sensations. So he drops that goal. Instead he tells you it's fine to feel upset and to give yourself this time to let the sadness out.

Yes, the session says so directly: "Crying is okay. Being sad is okay." He notes that we often swallow bad feelings and brush things off until they build up, so this is a chance to release them in what he calls a healthy way.

Nothing but listen. He says, "All I want you to do is listen to my voice. That's all." There are no breathing counts or body scans, just words of understanding, with a moment where he asks you to feel his warmth.

He reminds you that you have good within you and know deep down that your hard time isn't who you are. The sadness is something you're passing through, not a verdict on you. The idea is to feel it fully without letting it become your identity.

Nathan acknowledges that people sometimes take your kindness for granted or don't listen. He suggests this is usually because they're caught up in their own worlds rather than meaning to hurt you. For situations truly out of your control, he says venting and releasing is exactly what you can do.

Yes. He says you can return to it at any point, and that although he isn't physically there, his words are meant for you. It closes with encouragement: you're never truly alone, good people are cheering for you, and you can do this.
