5-4-3-2-1 Grounding
Move through the five senses one step at a time. There is no timer and no need to complete the practice quickly.
Before you begin
Orient to the space around you.
Choose a position that feels steady enough. You can skip any sense or stop at any time.

Practice complete
Return at your own pace.
Notice whether anything feels different, even slightly. A neutral response is also a response.
You do not need to identify perfect examples. If focusing inward or on a particular sense feels uncomfortable, look around the room, move your body, or stop. This educational tool is not a substitute for individualized care.
