As im running dr4 and kb1 and before dr and ros i definitely feel some days massive pressure and build up of emotions in body but no satisfactory method of releasing, i exercise but its not it. I feel like accupuncture would be great but dont have those where i live.
Second that comes to mind is EFT tapping but it feels too soft, i feel i need something intense to release this stuff.
Any suggestions from people that ran emotional healing subs?

I can share one that I use for serious release which is standing up, tilt your head back looking up with your eyes, open your mouth wide with your tongue out, breathe through your mouth and try to feel like your open throat has a direct link to what some call the root chakra, just imagine you are opening yourself up completely and anything that needs to release has an open channel to exit through your throat.
It usually end up triggering a sort of gag reflex where I feel like I kind of vomit but not really, deep blocked emotions rise to the surface and exit through a scream/gag reflex sort of sound.
It’s kind of odd but very effective, a shaman I met helped me discover this technique when we worked together.

Ice bath or very cold shower will force heavy breathing and help release and/or circulate energy very effectively.
Obviously the famous Wim Hoff breathing is a very good follow up to the cold shower.

you could try push ups and punching a bag or a pillow or just punching into your bed 
you could scream into your pillow
all in all, pillows are multi functional

When I need a good release, I’ll do one of the videos on this guy’s channel:
“Best way to release anger” and “The true way to overcome fear” are good expressive ones.
“Grounded, calm and confident” is a great all-rounder, with grounding and some expression.
It’s good to meditate afterwards, or take a nap, give yourself a hug, something to help integrate.

I just yelled “MOTHERFU**ER” in the shower…
To the dismay of my family members who were within earshot.
Coz I blasted myself wid freezing cold water before mentally hyping myself for it.
It was a nice emotional release.

+1 with the screaming, one of the most effective ones
Try and massage your ears and surrounding area to stimulate your vagus nerve (actives your parasympathetic NS)
Me and people who I´ve massaged felt great relief from it.

Doing Oshos dynamic meditation is super good, also there’s guided releases on youtube to release stuck emotion.
I prefer the Osho one though for the intensity

Without all these practises, have you ever practised the basic human emotion called crying.
It’s by far the best emotional releaser that we have. Don’t overcomplicate things with practises.

The problem is this I am very much unable to cry. And not sure for everyone, but for me crying needs a certain accumulation of negativity.
If you are just feeling down and the intensity of negative emotion is low, you are just unable to cry.

Yes, I experienced the same thing. You really need to relearn how to cry again. It can be challenging because it feels like your heart and throat are completely blocked. If I may be direct, I have some thoughts to share about your post.
“I am” is the most powerful phrase you can use. By telling yourself that you can’t cry, you are making it more difficult to ever shed tears.
It can take the form of dealing with trauma or pain, as it is often closely connected to those emotions. While we may view this as negative, it can also be a process that we need to slowly work through.
Let me share an example from my own experience. Most of my pain stemmed from the loss of my parents, but I never properly grieved and just kept pushing through. I didn’t shed a tear for 5-6 years until my body became completely stuck.
Then I ended my relationship with my GF that wasn’t working. I didn’t feel sad about the breakup, but I did feel a sense of loss for the good times we had shared. I used that feeling to connect with some sadness and pain from the past. However, it wasn’t a negative experience; it was the natural sadness of losing something precious, like a parent watching their child go to kindergarten for the first time and realizing that life will change. But I could use that to connect it with the loss of my parents.
I turned to different videos and music online to evoke sadness. I actually had to learn how to cry (for me, it’s more about tearing up, but that’s enough of a release).
Now, when I feel off, I revisit that place to connect with the sadness of losing my parents or whatever else I may be feeling. It helps me release those emotions. I watched movies about families that are together, adoptions, people that haven’t seen each other for years and reconnected. Because that’s the loss that I felt (And sometimes still feel, but now in a good way).
I hope this helps a bit

I used to tell my clients that had problem crying to lisen to this video or meditation everyone cried.
Forgiveness is also super helpful, Especially if you are in apathy because the ONLY way out of apathy is sadness

And also one thing to know is that a lot of men have problem crying because a part of them see it as showing weakness.
As men we are learned to be tough don’t show weakness. And having mental constructs like that is making it very hard to cry.
I second this one
Holotropic Breathing, Rebirthing, Vivation, Quantum Light Breath and other intensive breathing technique.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), PEAT to name a few.
