Hands That Won't Settle

11 min

Best for: restlessness and physical anxiety

This session works with one of anxiety's most overlooked tells: the small, unbidden movements of the hands. You'll practise a soft, observational attention, noticing what the fingers are doing without trying to override them. Through guided awareness and extended silences, you'll learn to read the hands as a barometer rather than a problem to fix. A grounded approach for anyone whose body fidgets when the mind is asked to settle.
