Stress Downshifting & Emotional Speed
Learn how gradual stress downshifting restores emotional balance.
The Feeling of Weight Settling Downward
Weight settles downward in its own time.
Nothing pushes it, and nothing resists it.
This window does not guide the body or instruct release.
It simply notices gravity doing what it always does, allowing heaviness to be neutral rather than problematic.
Notice gravity with DojoWell.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I "relax" without a guided instruction?
You name the Feeling of Weight Settling Downward. This is gravity, not an "instruction." In this model, relaxation is just "agreeing with gravity." You don't "do" relaxation; you "stop resisting" your own weight. By naming the downward pull, you allow your muscles to "sink" into the support. This is a "non-effort" way to settle that bypasses the Narrative system’s need for complex techniques, landing you directly in a somatic "done" signal.
Why does my weight feel "stuck" in my chest/shoulders?
That is the "Upward Brace" of the Threat system. It’s trying to keep you "light" so you can run. In the Meaning Density Model™, we don't fight the brace. We just notice the weight below the brace—in the hips or feet. By focusing on where the weight is already "settled," you encourage the rest of the system to follow. Gravity is a constant "safety signal"; by aligning with it, you move toward a state of effortless, grounded presence.
