When

Under stress 3 Any ordinary day 1

When the past floods in, name five things you can see, four you can hear, three you can touch. Come back to now.

Grounding in your senses tells the mind the danger is memory, not present. The room is safe; you are here.

A minuteSafety and groundingTrauma informedQur’an 48:4

Breathe out longer than you breathe in, a few times. A slow breath tells the body it is safe.

You cannot argue a frightened body calm, but you can breathe it calm. Long, slow exhales do the talking.

A minuteSafety and groundingTrauma informedQur’an 8:11

When fear rises, being near a calm, safe person, or turning to God's remembrance, helps your body borrow that steadiness.

Our nervous systems settle in the presence of safety. A calm, attuned other, or a steadying practice of remembrance, sends the body cues of safety…

A minuteSafety and groundingTrauma informedQur’an 13:28

Build one place or time in your day that reliably feels safe, and return to it when you need steadying.

Healing needs a floor to stand on. A predictable pocket of safety is that floor; protect it.
