Try this as you prepare to get back to reality next week! From our friend, Carrie Payne.
I want to share a gentle, trauma‑informed movement you can try at home to help your body feel safer and your mind clearer. Start seated with your feet on the floor. Place one hand on your belly, the other on your chest. Breathe slowly for five counts in, five counts out. Notice what you feel: tightness, warmth, a shift, or maybe nothing at all — all of it is okay. When you exhale, sway your hands across your belly in a soft, grounding arc. Repeat for 1–3 minutes. Let each sweep say: “I’m here. I’m safe.” Movement helps release held tension and communicates safety to your nervous system. At Rooted To Rise, we blend somatic coaching, trauma‑informed yoga, and meditation to support lasting calm and emotional clarity. Try this now and notice one small change in your body or breath.
