5-4-3-2-1 grounding
A way to come back to the room you are in when your thoughts are racing: name what your senses find, one sense at a time. You can do it with your eyes open, anywhere.
What the session says
- Sit or stand where you are, and let your eyes stay open.
- Breathe in
- And out
- Look around. Name five things you can see. Take your time with each one.
- Now four things you can feel: your feet on the floor, your clothes, the air, the chair.
- Three things you can hear, near or far.
- Two things you can smell, or two smells you like.
- And one thing you can taste, or one taste you like.
- You are here, in this room, right now.
