Balloon Breath
Inhale slowly as your belly becomes a balloon. Exhale like you are letting the air out gently.
Your quiet place for big emotions.
“Feelings are like waves. We can’t stop them from coming, but we can choose which ones to surf.”
Cloud Breath
Breathe in for four. Pause. Breathe out for six, like a cloud drifting farther away.
Five-Finger Breath
Trace one finger up as you inhale, down as you exhale. Repeat for all five fingers.
Rest moments
Small pauses count.
Cloud Drifter
Imagine one thought floating past without chasing it.
Rhythm of Rest
Notice three sounds, two body sensations, and one thing you appreciate.
The Brave Pebble
Hold one small object and remind yourself: “I can be steady, even when feelings are big.”
