This guided practice is designed to remind the limbic brain what safety & calm feels like by engaging the senses. Utilizing this practice can help rewire your brain from a chronic survival state into safety, presence & connection. 

Set up your space

• find a space where you can follow along with this guided practice free from distractions & interruptions. You can come to a comfortable seated position or lying on your back. Feel free to make a shape that feels supported and comfortable, and also allows you to stay attentive to my voice. If you choose to be seated in a chair or on a couch, it can be helpful to let your feet touch the ground (grounding you).

• Engage your senses - bring things into your space that create a positive sensory experience, such as:

  • A favorite scent

  • Your favorite blanket or sweater

  • Visually pleasing surroundings (whether that is just a clean and tidy space, or bringing in some simple decorations like flowers or a candle- anything that makes the space feel more inviting to you).

  • A favorite cozy beverage
