Slow Down and Calm Down: A 5-Minute Somatic Practice to Soothe Your Nervous System

There’s something deeply relieving about having a five-minute practice that can actually help your nervous system calm down. This short episode was created for those moments when your system feels a little keyed up, a little stressed, or just in need of a grounding pause.

In this gentle somatic practice, you’ll be guided through soothing touch, slow, settling breathing, and simple somatic awareness. These are all very direct ways of giving your nervous system signals of safety and support, so it can begin to soften and come out of high alert.

If you’ve been wanting something that’s truly small, truly doable, and still genuinely supportive, this five-minute practice is a beautiful place to begin. Press play and let your nervous system slow down and settle.
