All Body-Based Practices
Your body is a reliable entry point to calm and clarity. Body-based practices help regulate the nervous system, release tension, and strengthen interoceptive awareness—the sense of what’s happening inside. This category brings together a comprehensive, research-informed library of movement and somatic techniques you can adapt to your needs, energy level, and environment.
Mental health exercises and practices
Explore approaches that use posture, grounding, and gentle movement to settle arousal; slow, rhythmic pacing to steady attention; muscle relaxation and body scanning to unwind tightness and enhance awareness; mindful walking and balance work to organize the senses; and soothing touch or self-massage to signal safety. You’ll find clear step-by-step guidance, timing suggestions, and options for sitting, standing, or lying down, with ways to scale intensity and duration. Each practice invites you to notice cues of comfort and strain, integrate breath without forcing it, and translate skills into daily life—brief resets during the day, transitions after stressful moments, or evening wind-downs that prepare you for rest. The aim is not to push harder, but to move within your window of tolerance and rebuild a felt sense of stability and agency.
Start where you are and keep movements comfortable and pain-free. Stay curious, move slowly, and pause if you feel pain, dizziness, or emotional overwhelm; return to natural breathing and try again later or choose a gentler option. Even a few minutes can make a difference, and regular practice supports stress regulation, focus, sleep quality, and overall resilience. Adapt exercises to your body and context, and consult a qualified healthcare or mental health professional if you have injuries, medical conditions, are pregnant, or experience persistent distress.
