In this soothing somatic exercise, you'll practice small, slow, gentle movements of your hands in order to regulate and calm your nervous system. If you're experiencing chronic muscle tension or are stressed or anxious, this Feldenkrais exercise is designed to help you feel overall muscle tension relief, as well as emotionally calmer, regulated, and safe. In this exercise, you will be lying on your back. You'll need a bed or floor with padding, and a warm layer or a blanket in case you get cold.
