Grounding For Distress

Regroup from anxiety, overwhelm, or trauma activation with this brief grounding exercise. We'll engage the breath while focusing attention on neutral objects to soothe the nervous system and turn off the fight, flight, or freeze response. Since the fear response makes it harder for us to process words, guidance will be brief and simple. Silence is included to give space to the practice.

I was feeling very emotional and stressed and I found this calming - thank you 🙏🏻 🌻

Not a cure all but it brought my attention to what else was there. (Besides anxiety) Also the peace became palpable too. It made me remember it is always there.
