The 5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1 Landing

A grounding walk through your senses. This 3-minute journey guides you one gentle line at a time, with deep hum playing softly in the background. Read it below, or press start to follow along with a timer and an optional spoken voice.

The full script

1. Pause where you are. Let your feet feel the floor.
2. Look around and notice five things you can see.
3. Notice four things you can feel: fabric, air, the chair beneath you.
4. Listen for three things you can hear, near and far.
5. Find two things you can smell, or two scents you love.
6. Notice one thing you can taste, or simply sip some water.
7. You are here. You are in this moment, and this moment is manageable.
8. One slow breath out. You have landed.
