Walking outdoors is great for the simplest of grounding, especially if you do not forget to take deep breaths while doing so.
If you juggle, which I happen to enjoy, and you face some panic or anxiety, as I have recommended elsewhere, watch what happens when you start tossing one ball nice and rhytmically from hand to hand with closed eyes.
Goodbye anxiety and welcome profound inner relaxation and peace.
Why this works?
Well, if you ever explore phases of human sleep, you will find that most of our dreams happen in REM phase. Whereas other phases of the sleep, such as deep delta sleep, are designed to restore and rejuvenate your body, REM phase is simply meant for integration of information.
In this REM phase, as the dreams unfold, our eyes naturally flicker from side to side.
It is not so long ago that a person named Francine Shapiro discovered that by having traumatized children from post-war areas watch her finger as she moved it from side to side in front of their faces, their post-traumatic disorder eventually gave away, balance being restored.
This blind juggling is by far one of the best self-help treatment, simplicity in its purest, with additional benefit of further developing sense of touch and spatial awareness.
And I suspect that it resolves many past traumas and issues permanently.
Enough of preaching.
Just something you can use to drag yourself out of hole.
