How to use your body to soothe your mind.

Calm Practice

Burrito Wrap

This tool provides comforting proprioceptive input to calm your senses and soothe the nervous system to restore balance and peace.

Here’s how!

1. Grab a cozy blanket or a weighted blanket to feel more grounded.
2. Wrap the blanket around yourself, rolling yourself up like a burrito.
3. Make sure your arms feel tucked in and snug.
4. Sit or lie down and breathe slowly and deeply into your belly.
5. Close your eyes and focus on your breath and the ‘hugging’ sensation of your blanket ‘burrito wrap’.
