The best moments are when we find stillness.
Our thoughts lose their edge and move fluidly.
Every muscle loses tension.
The lungs find a relaxing pace.
Our breath becomes a nurturing source.
The hearts rhythm becomes an internal song.
All stress responses cease.
All senses are in a safe state.
There, in that stillness, are the best moments.

Five—One Grounding
Five—Locked in a perpetual battle against my failing senses and reason, I fight to survive, to get through; I am afraid of... nothingandeverythingallatonce—...—my mouth is dry, and my muscles seize up... what can I see? I can see the birdcage and birds; I can see the watercolour my beautiful wife painted many years ago and unlocked her journey into art; I can see the empty mug of tea as it sits perilously on the arm of the sofa; how many is that now? Three down, two to go; I can also see a jackdaw on the roof of our neighbour's house across the road and a bookcase of potential—Five things you can see.
