Really simple but effective practice for grounding in the body and finding some calm. One that I'll return to and try to hold on mind for moments of stress or overwhelm during the day.

Why didn’t I think of that. Very immediate calm and surprising sensations. Just lovely.

What a wonderful, quick exercise to get back in touch with yourself! I loved the somatic, tactile experience you created, and the calm I felt!
