Tiny Tool
Panic Grounding Tool
When your body feels unsafe, you do not need a perfect prayer. Start with one breath, one object, and one safe next step.
Step 1: Name the moment
Say quietly: "This is panic. It feels awful, but it is a body alarm. I can take one next step."
Step 2: Find five things
Look around. Name five things you can see. Then four things you can feel. Then three things you can hear.
Step 3: Touch something steady
Put both feet on the floor or one hand on a table. Let something solid remind your body that this moment is here, not everywhere.
Jesus, stay near while my body catches up. Give me one steady breath. Amen.
