Grounding Techniques Quick‑Reference Guide

Find something to do with what you're feeling, right now.

Pick what you're experiencing, choose a technique that fits the moment, and follow simple steps you can do immediately. Save what works so it's ready for next time.

"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit."

Psalm 34:18

Grounding does not ask you to feel calm before you start. Scripture puts God near to people while they are still in the middle of it, which is when these techniques are meant to be used.

Before you begin Grounding techniques are self‑regulation tools. They are not a substitute for emergency care or professional treatment when those are needed. If you are in crisis, see Crisis & Emergency Resources below.
