Too little activation

Frozen

You can hardly feel anything right now

How it feels

You feel as if frozen, or far away from yourself. You do not quite know what you feel or want, and decisions feel very hard right now.

What your body says

Barely noticeable breath, a fixed gaze.

What your system needs now

Small steps back into contact. Not pressure to feel yourself, but safety, so that feeling becomes possible again.

1 Slowly surfacing again

2 minutes
  1. Let your gaze glide very slowly through the room from left to right, turning your head slightly with it.
  2. Move your fingers and toes – very small, very slow.
  3. Ask yourself: “What am I noticing right now – even if it is only a little?”

Feel into it

Every small perception counts. What was yours?

Good for

when you notice you are far away inside

2 The wide view

1 minute
  1. Rest your gaze on one point in front of you.
  2. Notice what you can see at the edges of your field of vision – left, right, above, below – without moving your eyes.
  3. Stay with it for one minute.

Feel into it

How does your face feel now?

Good for

by the window, on the train, on a park bench

3 Warmth and support

2 minutes
  1. Place your hands warmly on your upper arms and squeeze gently.
  2. Or wrap yourself in a blanket and feel its weight.
  3. Stay like this for as long as it feels good.

Feel into it

Where do you feel the warmth?

Good for

in the evening, on the sofa, in bed
