This practice can be used whenever you notice yourself becoming overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in a stress response. In just a few minutes, it can help restore a sense of grounding and regulation.

Suitable as a quick reset during the day, after stressful interactions, or whenever the nervous system needs support returning to balance.
