How to use your body to soothe your mind.

Calm Practice

Body Contact

Come home to your body with this grounding tool.

Here’s how!

1. First, drop into your breath; observing your inhale and exhale and perhaps them to settle and slow.
2. Now, with your eyes closed or your focus soft and your gaze down, begin to tune into your body.
3. Notice the contact points of your body with the surface(s) beneath you.
4. Notice the contact points of your body with other parts of your body.
5. Notice the contact points of your clothes against your body.

Afterwards, reflect on what it was like to take a moment to be grounded and present in your body.
