Cyclic Breathing Exercise
Cyclic breathing is a quick, research-backed way to calm the body and mind. Supported by findings from Stanford’s Huberman Lab, this practice helps lower stress, slow the heart rate, and signal calm to the nervous system in moments.
5 Senses Grounding Technique
When your mind is spinning or your body feels out of control, the 5 Senses Technique helps anchor you back into now. Using your senses re-engages the part of the brain that registers safety and presence, allowing your system to calm, settle, and reorient.
The Butterfly Hug
The Butterfly Hug is a nervous system regulation practice that creates bilateral stimulation—activating both sides of the brain. This alternating rhythm supports the brain in moving out of a stress or survival response and into a more balanced, integrated state.
Self-Havening Hug
A gentle, self-soothing practice that uses touch to calm the nervous system and create a sense of stability in the body. This simple technique supports emotional regulation, grounding, and connection—especially during moments of overwhelm or anxiety.
Stretch-Reach-Release
Sometimes the body holds on to the actions that never got to happen during moments of fear, overwhelm, or threat. This gentle somatic practice invites the body to complete those unfinished actions through slow, mindful arm extensions.
Sweeping the Horizon
This video offers a gentle way to calm an overactive nervous system and reduce hypervigilance- helping the brain shift out of “fight or flight” and into a more grounded, expansive state.
Thymus Thumps
Gently tapping the center of your chest stimulates the thymus gland, supporting immune function, boosting energy, and promoting emotional balance.
Nurturing Touch
Rooted in the work of researcher Dr. Kristin Neff on mindful self-compassion, this exercise uses nurturing touch to signal steadiness and care, and helps shift us from self-criticism to self-kindness.
Pendulation Exercise
If you’ve ever felt stuck in stress, anxiety, or shutdown, pendulation helps your nervous system shift out of those states by following the body’s natural rhythm — not by force, but through gentle regulation.
