Five Finger Breathing

A guided grounding exercise that pairs slow breathing with tracing each finger on one hand.

Try this

Hold one hand open and place a finger from your other hand at the base of your thumb.
Breathe in slowly as you trace upward, then breathe out as you trace down the other side.
Continue across all five fingers, keeping the movement and breath gentle.

Continue

Use another support step if you need it.

Check your stress zone

Use a short check-in if your body remains activated after the exercise.
