Grounding Meditation: Five Senses

When feeling overwhelmed by emotions, a grounding meditation can help you reconnect with the present moment. Follow these instructions:

  1. Find a comfortable position: Sit or lie down in a place where you feel safe.
  2. Breathe deeply: Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
  3. Engage your senses:
  4. Things: Name five things you can see around you.
  5. Things: Name four things you can touch.
  6. Things: Name three things you can hear.
  7. Things: Name two things you can smell.
  8. Thing: Name one thing you can taste.

Continue to breathe deeply as you focus on your senses. If your mind wanders, gently guide it back to the present moment. Practice this meditation for 5-10 minutes or as needed.
