Calming Technique To Help You Feel Safe And Support Sleep

This easy, yet surprisingly effective technique is inspired by the work of Pete Levine. If you can feel your body as the container of all your sensations, and emotions, they no longer feel overwhelming and unmanageable. You are guided to place your hands around your body in such a way as to remind you that you are safe.

Mindfulness is also incorporated, which serves to ground you, and connect to breath and bodily sensations, thus soothing your nervous system.

This simple practice can be used to calm your anxieties as well as aiding sleep.
