Grounding techniques help to “ground” us in the present moment.
“着陆技巧”是帮助我们立足眼下的技巧。
“Five senses” is a very simple grounding technique that can quickly brings one back to the here and now.
“五感法”是着陆技巧中非常简单的一种,可以快速帮助我们把注意力带回到此时此刻。
The instruction is fairly self-explanatory:
五感法简单明了:
Identify 1 thing tasted, 2 things smelled, 3 things heard, 4 things touched, and 5 things seen.
明确一种尝到的滋味,两种闻到的气味,三种听到的声音,四种触碰的质地,和五件看到的人事物。
For example, “right at this moment, I taste slight saltiness in my mouth, smell scallion and lemon, hear the sound of the podcast, water boiling, and the white noise of the space; I feel my bare feet touching the wood floor, my hair brushing my shoulder, my glasses resting on my nose, and my hand holding chopsticks; I also can see the cooking stove, a non-sticky cooking pan, a bottle of cooking oil, some sliced ginger, and a water bottle.”
I have been using the English version for a long time and only recently realized there doesn’t seem to be one in Simplified Chinese. I therefore created this worksheet FREE to use.
