The Butterfly Hug is a gentle self-soothing practice that uses bilateral stimulation to calm your nervous system.
It’s a beautiful way to bring to calm down during anxious moments

PS: my free “Stress and Anxiety Buster” 5 min meditation is tucked into my profile.

Feeling #stressed?
Want to feel #calmer?

Have you tried a #ButterflyHug? 🦋

Easy to do alone. It’s a go-to in my #wellbeing toolbox.
Here’s how…

Black text on white background that says: How To Butterfly Hug You might like to try doing this now to see if it works for you? • We can choose to sit, stand or lie down - whatever's most comfy. • Then, if it's possible to do so comfortably, we cross our arms in front of ourselves so the palms of our hands rest on our upper arms, shoulders or chest. • We then tap on each side of our body where our hands have rested, in turn gently, for around 30 times in total- it's important to do so for as long as feels best for you. This cross-body touch is helpful, as it stimulates both sides of the brain. Something that's also a basis of E.M.D.R therapy. - a technique I haven't tried, yet have heard wonderful things about from three people whose opinions I trust, including my current therapist - it's also worked brilliantly for P.T.S.D. healing in someone I know well. If we sigh, breathe more deeply or yawn at any time during our Butterfly Hug this is great! It's an obvious sign physical tension is being released from our body. While we may simply notice we feel calmer, these physical signs indicate we're switching from 'fight, flight, freeze, fawn' where the sympathetic nervous system dominates, to the parasympathetic and rest. It's even possible tears may flow, too — that's also wonderful! — as stress hormones leave our body via this route. • While tapping on each side of our body, we can close our eyes, if it feels good to do so- it's up to you — and we may also gently sway our body side-to-side, backwards and forwards or round and round in circles, if it feels soothing and we're able to, depending on the position we choose. • Slowly speaking reassuring words silently or quietly to ourselves can also add to the experience - words that truly soothe us. • Then, when we feel better, we stroke down our arms and stay hugging ourselves for as long as we want to. We can choose to cycle around as many times as we want, repeating the above steps, if we'd like to.

It’s not always words that bring the healing.
Sometimes it’s the rhythm… the rocking… the return to safety in your own arms.
