The Aid Kit

AhavaSana Emotional First Aid Kit

If you could describe how you are in one word, what would it be?

Overwhelmed

The five-count exhale

  1. 1Sit or stand where you are. You do not have to move anywhere.
  2. 2Place one hand somewhere warm. Your chest, your belly, or the side of your neck.
  3. 3Breathe in through your nose for four counts.
  4. 4Breathe out slowly through your mouth for five counts. Longer than the in-breath.
  5. 5Do this eight times. Nothing else has to happen.
