Calm & breath
Five-finger breathing
When feelings run high, the breath is the fastest way back to calm. This one gives restless hands and minds something gentle to follow.

How to do it
- Spread one hand. With the other index finger, trace up the thumb as you breathe in.
- Trace down the other side as you breathe out.
- Continue up and down each finger, one slow breath per side.
- When you reach the last finger, notice how much calmer you feel.
A few tips
- Do it together — calm is contagious, and so is your steadiness.
Peace is only a few breaths away, and it’s always available to you.
