Calming Methods
These methods are not here to fix you instantly. They are here to give you a steadier place to begin.
How to use these methods
These are not heavy teachings. They are gentle ways to come back to yourself.
The methods page works best when you treat it like a small practice shelf. Some methods are better for anxiety, some are better before sleep, and some are better when you feel scattered and need one simple anchor.
- Use grounding-breath when your body is tense and you need rhythm first.
- Use evening-unwind when the day is still stuck to you and sleep feels far away.
