Using Touch

Hold your own hand: or rub your hands together, put 1 or both hands on your heart, feel the warmth.

Warm hug: Place your right hand under your armpit and the left on your opposite shoulder. Feel the warmth as you give yourself a hug.

Rub your hands together until they are warm.
Cup them over your eyes and absorb the warmth into your eyes.

Butterfly Hug: Place your right hand on your left shoulder, and your left hand on your right shoulder. Slowly tap alternating hands, giving yourself a butterfly hug. In addition to the warmth of your own hug, this also provides bilateral brain stimulation which is helpful for releasing trauma.

A second way to give yourself a butterfly hug is to place your right palm on the left side of your chest and your left palm on the right. Link your thumbs together and gently alternate lifting your "wings". Try it at different speeds to see which is more grounding.

Hug a horse, dog or other pet

Hug a person for at least 30 seconds, taking in the warmth and scent and connection.
