Emotional Release Tools are useful when you are:
overwhelmed, frustrated or angry
in a fight with your partner
having a hard conversation
grieving
and you trying to move through the emotions in a healthy way.
Whether it is from having a hard conversation or experience, it is useful to allow the energy to move through you, versus lashing out at someone else, or repressing the energy.

What are emotional release tools
How to do them safely
Hand Scream
This may look weird; but it is showing how much energy is in our bodies. I am forcefully screaming; making my face turn red. Imagine if I was directing this energy toward someone else! Instead I am safely offering myself containment by covering my mouth, shaking my belly and activating my throat chakra to let the sound out.
Pillow Scream
Power Stomp
Pay attention to where you are stomping your feet; think about doing it on a carpeted floor or yoga mat. It also may be more comfortable to do it in sneakers.
