Using Your Five Senses To Support Your Nervous System

This exercise, known as Orienting, guides you to connect to each of your five senses in the present moment. The intention is to send cues of safety to your brain and nervous system. Our nervous systems can get 'stuck' in fight or flight, or freeze. Orienting using the senses helps your brain come back to the present moment where there is a sense of safety. This exercise can help you to feel a bit more settled and grounded.
