Grounding is one of the most powerful ways to calm the nervous system and feel safe in your body. In this short grounding exercise, I’ll guide you through a gentle somatic therapy practice to release tension, reduce anxiety, and find a stable sense of yourself.

This isn’t about doing things perfectly or following strict instructions. Sometimes being told what to do with your body can feel overwhelming. So this grounding practice is invitational, gentle, and paced to help you feel supported.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• How a grounding practice supports anxiety relief and stress relief
• A simple breath and sound technique (“fff” breath and sigh of relief)
• Letting go of stress and feeling the weight of your body when it relaxes
• Carrying a grounded, safe feeling into your day or evening
