Brilliant to have all these at the ready - thanks so much Tanner. May I add some of my favourites…with the present moment sensing, smell is a big one for me (favourite scent, hand cream, fresh citrus), also with sight I visualise the presence of loved one (human and animal) and how that makes me feel. With touch, a soft scarf, blanket or cool cotton sheets. Another technique which I have seen you use elsewhere which is so powerful is the double intake of breath, followed by a long deep ‘Voooooo’ on the out breath - 10 breaths like this works wonders for me. Thank you again.
Thanks Tanner! I always seem to cross my arms as I stand talking to others, especially when I don't know them. I always thought it was a defense mechanism or being guarded, but now realize it's a calming mechanism for me. I couldn't stop doing it and felt bad about it, thinking they were wondering why I am being guarded, but now I'm going to embrace it and sway with it.
what is best to do when in a car? I get severe panic and anxiety due to ptsd and can't stand being in a car and get so overwhelmed have to keep windows up so I don't Hear Sound. brakes, horns cars zooming. Always in fight flight while in a car.
Shake your arms if you can. Hug yourself, tapping (eft). The one I like is tapping my feet or stomping one foot at a time like your running. Or you can make a huge whooshing sound while blowing out or hum. Tell yourself. “ it’s ok I can get out in a few minutes, I’m not stuck. I suffer with the same thing.
Some of these could be helpful. But typically during a panic attack the sensations of anxiety are too intense to focus on. So the notice and name skill would not be useful here.
I felt so relaxed after doing these exercises, for me the swaying really helped. 🙏
I'm so glad this was helpful. Keep going!

This is a great insight. Keep going!
Love your calming practices. ❤🎉
I'm so glad they are helpful!
Just watching you do these techniques has calmed me down 😊
I'm so glad they are helpful. I wish you the best in your healing.
These were great practices. I liked the sensing the sounds around me and sink the Qi. They both seemed to bring me back to the present.
I'm so glad you found practices that are helpful!
Thank you❤
You're welcome 😊

So sorry to hear this breathwork could be helpful potentially!

Hi tanner, how to do these moves when you are stuck in bed??
Or what else i can do when stucked?
Certain moves could be done while sitting! If this is too much you could also visualize the moves while doing the breathing.
Does this work with a panic attack?😂❤TY

Lack of sounds because the tinnitus is loud enough ….
It is good you know what creates safety for you. Keep going!
