It's a time that you can reconnect. Catch your breath. Sense a larger perspective. It's a still spot in you day.
It's an anchor. It activates your parasympathetic nervous system, and deactivates fight flight.
Your feet are anchors, your sit bones are anchors. Sense your feet, sense your heavy tail.
Your breath is an anchor. Feel your breath getting slow and full.
You can use a phrase as an anchor:
May I feel free from inner and outer harm.
May I feel peaceful
Keep on moving from your thoughts to your anchor.
Your thoughts will keep triggering fear.
