I practice what is called "Hara" breathing as part of a reiki practice. I bring the breath deep into the "hara" or abdomen area and repeat the reiki precepts while doing so.

Such great options to choose from here for different emotional needs.

I use the 5-4-3-2-1 technique a lot and like to incorporate it with the physical act of crochet in order to make it even more grounding.
