Explanation: Settling and Orienting
This audio explains what the Settling and Orienting Exercise (below) is for and what it is not for. Once you have a sense of how it can be useful, you can use the exercise as often as you like. With time, you may notice yourself settling and orienting through your day!
EXERCISE: Settling and Orienting
Orienting to your environment is a natural act of a nervous system attempting to discern threat or safety. When we are feeling restless, anxious, or otherwise disconnected from the present moment, intentionally reconnecting to your surroundings and what is happening within can be a way to ground yourself and encourage regulation. Listen to the Explanation audio (above) for more information and try the Settling and Orienting Exercise for an experiential practice. There is no right or wrong way to experience this recording. Take what works for you, leave what doesn’t.
