so simple & effective! thank you. 😊

Excellent for when you need fast help grounding. I will be returning.

Love this simple practice! 💕

An excellent one-minute grounding exercise (plus an almost minute-long preface you may only need to hear once).

What makes this stand out for me, aside from its simplicity and adaptability (it can really be performed in almost any seated or standing position), is its focus on the feet rather than the breath. Many times, in heightened states of panic or anxiety, the breath may be too frantic at first to use as an anchor, and the feet can work just as well.

So simple, so effective. In just one minute I noticed something completely new, thank you!
