Orienting: A Gentle Practice to Come Home to Your Body

Intro

When life feels fast, overwhelming, or disconnected, our nervous system looks for safety. Sometimes that means going into survival mode and pulling away from the present moment or leaving our body without realizing it.

Orienting is a simple, powerful somatic practice that supports you in returning to the here and now. It invites your body and nervous system to settle, soften, and remember I am safe enough in this moment.

This is not about forcing calm.
It’s about offering yourself the conditions for safety and presence.

Let’s begin gently.

What Is Orienting?

Orienting is a foundational somatic practice that helps your nervous system recognize safety by:

• Looking around your space

• Touching into your senses

• Noticing what feels pleasant or neutral

• Letting your body take in support and steadiness

This simple process signals to your brain and body that you are here, connected, and not alone inside your experience.

When to Use This Practice

You can try this anytime you feel:

✨ Overwhelmed
✨ Anxious or tight
✨ Numb or disconnected
✨ Foggy or “out of it”
✨ Rushed or overstimulated

Or even when you're simply wanting to land more fully in yourself.

There is no right or wrong way to orient.
Your body knows the way — you’re simply learning to follow it again.
