Practice 09: Grounding Practices

Three simple grounding practices to self-soothe, reduce symptoms of panic and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system.

You can skip forward 5 minutes for breathing practices. Skip to 8 minutes for switching and finally skip 10 minutes in for a short, accessible activity called 5,4,3,2,1!
