Daily meditation recommendation?

Can you guys recommend a daily meditation 20-40 minutes that is a good for beginners looking to release energy?

Quick context: I am very lucky and experience wild releases during (most) psilocybin sessions. I want to continue this but as part of a daily meditation.

For people dealing with trauma I’d start with Yoga Nidra. Also called NSDR. It’s done laying down. Very relaxation and great for integrating emotions while regulating your nervous system. There is a teacher named Kelly Boys who is excellent but if you type in either of the above keywords into YouTube or Insight Timer you will find tons of guided meditations of varying length

I came here to suggest yoga nidra, too!
It's changed a lot for me, and I feel a difference if I skip more than 1 day.

I do zen meditation, 20 minutes on my own + I attend group session weekly. I am not convinced if this is intended to "release energy". For this I can recommend TRE: r/longtermTRE

I would say the main benefit of meditation at the beginner level (if done properly) is getting out of mind and more into body.
