Settle Into Stillness | 5 Senses and Breath Meditation

This guided practice invites you to settle into stillness by combining diaphragmatic breathing with a 5 senses mindfulness technique. You’ll gently anchor into your environment and your breath, allowing the nervous system to soften, the mind to quiet, and the body to relax.

Using the senses as an entry point, you create space to calm anxiety, release mental chatter, and cultivate present moment awareness. The slow diaphragmatic breath helps regulate the nervous system, balance oxygen and carbon dioxide, and support overall emotional steadiness.

This practice can be helpful any time you feel restless or overwhelmed, and is especially supportive before sleep or during transitions.

Recommended to practice resting on your back.
