- Practice modified from Resmaa Menakem, My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies
- Begin with breathing into the nose and out through the mouth
- Notice the space you are in - turning to the left and looking behind you, then turning to the right to see behind you. Feel the stretch.
- Take in the space. Notice where the wall meets the ceiling. Notice the dark and light and colors in the room. Name them to yourself.
- Take 3 deep breaths, noticing where the air moves in and out of the body.
Listen to the full episode - S1:E9 Responding to Trauma: Psychological Tools for Resilience and Recovery with Dr. Cynthia Eriksson. Here Dr. Eriksson guides you through a practice to ground you in your body in order to settle emotions.
