Best for: feeling your own heartbeat at night
A gentle anxiety practice for moments when your pulse becomes impossible to ignore — beating in the ears, the throat, the wrist. Rather than trying to slow or quiet the heartbeat, you'll practise listening to it differently, letting attention soften around the sensation instead of bracing against it. Through slow breath and curious noticing, the pulse stops being a signal of danger and becomes simply a rhythm the body has always made. A practice in staying, not fixing.
Living With a Pulse You Can Feel is a guided audio session from Salūs Rooms — part of the anxiety collection.
