There’s something deeply relieving about having a five-minute practice that can actually help your nervous system calm down. This short episode was created for those moments when your system feels a little keyed up, a little stressed, or just in need of a grounding pause.
In this gentle somatic practice, you’ll be guided through soothing touch, slow, settling breathing, and simple somatic awareness. These are all very direct ways of giving your nervous system signals of safety and support, so it can begin to soften and come out of high alert.
