That's how long until 30+ somatic practitioners start sharing their best grounding practices — and every single one is 5 minutes or under. The 5-Minute Somatic Grounding Summit kicks off March 23rd inside my Skool community, The Somatic Reset Lab. It's completely free to attend during the live week. Here's why I built this differently to every other summit you've seen: No 45-minute recordings you'll never finish. No passive replays gathering dust in your inbox. No watching someone talk AT you about nervous system theory while your own nervous system checks out. Every session is one practice. Short enough to actually use. Tomorrow morning. Before a hard conversation. At 2am when your brain won't stop. In the car park before school pick-up. 30+ practitioners. 30+ different ways back into your body. And because this runs inside an active Skool community — not a webinar platform — you're not just watching. You're IN it. There's a leaderboard. Daily challenge threads. Real conversations happening between people who are actually doing the practices, not just consuming content. The speakers are in there too. You can ask questions, share what came up for you, build genuine connections with practitioners whose work resonates. That doesn't happen in a traditional summit. Here, it's the whole point. Some of what's waiting for you: 🌿 A somatic ritual for when you feel scattered and can't pull yourself together 🌿 A desk-based reset for the tension you don't even notice you're holding 🌿 A vagus nerve practice you can do anywhere without anyone knowing 🌿 A breathwork session designed specifically for perimenopause overwhelm 🌿 A grounding practice using nothing but awareness of your feet 🌿 A sound-based reset that uses humming to settle your whole system 🌿 A body-led practice for when fear is running the show And that's barely scratching the surface. This is a resource library you'll come back to long after the summit ends. Not a one-time event you forget about by Thursday.

When was the last time you actually checked in with your body?
Not how you're feeling emotionally. Not what you're thinking about. But what you're physically feeling, right now, in this moment. Most of us spend most of our lives living from the neck up. We think our way through problems, talk our way through pain, and try to logic ourselves toward healing. Somatic healing asks something different. It asks us to come back down. And that starts with attunement. Attunement is the practice of tuning into your own inner world. Your sensations, your emotions, your impulses. Without immediately trying to fix or change what you find there. It's different from self-awareness, which is mostly a mental activity. Attunement is slower, quieter, more physical. It lives in the body, not the mind. And there's a big difference between thinking about what's happening inside you and actually feeling it. We weren't taught this. From a really young age we were trained to perform and produce, not to feel. And then for a lot of us, certain feelings weren't safe to express either. So we learned to override them. The body learned to clamp down, and we became numb. That's not a flaw. It was protection. But at some point, that protection becomes the thing that keeps us stuck. So the body starts sending signals through pain, tension, exhaustion, anxiety. And if we're not listening, those signals become symptoms. That slight constriction in your throat becomes a full-blown sore throat. That low-level stomach churning becomes full anxiety. The body will keep turning up the volume until it's heard. Attunement is how we start to hear it before it gets that loud. And it doesn't take hours of meditation. It starts with small moments of genuine curiosity. 🌿 Place a hand on your heart and just notice what's there 🌿 Do a slow 60-second body scan, top to bottom 🌿 Feel the breath moving in and out, without needing to change it That's it. That's the start. The more you check in, even for a minute here and there, the more you build a real relationship with your body. And from that relationship, everything else in somatic healing becomes possible.

Are you using Beginner's Mind?
There's this thing called Beginner's Mind, and it's one of those concepts that sounds nice in theory but actually changes the way your body responds to everything. When you're a beginner, everything is open. You're curious, you're a sponge, you're ready to learn. But when you become the "expert"? You stop listening. You've already decided you know it. And that's where it gets interesting, because what looks like confidence is often just rigidity. I first really got this when I was teaching yoga. Every time you step onto the mat, your body is different. What I could do yesterday, I might not be able to do today. And if I go in thinking I already know what my body can do, I'm not being confident. I'm being inaccurate. I might even push myself into an injury because my mind made a decision my body didn't agree with. And it's not just a yoga thing. I see the same pattern in nervous system work. People come in having already read everything, already decided how it should work, how quickly it should work. And then if it doesn't match their expectations? They drop out after a week. It looks like giving up, but it's actually expert mind in disguise. You've already decided the ending before you've started. The bit people miss is that Beginner's Mind isn't just a nice attitude. It's a physiological state. When you approach something with curiosity and openness, you're more likely to be in that calm, connected, ventral vagal state. Your nervous system is regulated enough to actually take in new information. But when you're bracing for failure or assuming the worst? That's sympathetic activation. Your body is in protection mode before you've even begun. You can't pour water into a clenched fist. I had to sit with this myself recently. Someone I trust told me I should be charging more, and my gut said no. But I had to ask myself, is this intuition or is it fear dressed up as knowing? Because expert mind and intuition can feel really similar on the surface. Both show up as "I know the right way."

Do you garden?
Today I was at my allotment and enjoying it and I remembered before I had my son I would happily spend 4 or 5 hours a day there and how I had been missing it. So I decided to start a community about mindful gardening which I try and do. That way I can enjoy my hobby and have a reason for being there. It is completely free to join If you are interested in this topic, I’d love to invite you to join, just to chat all things mindfulness and gardening. I also had an idea that I will document designing and creating my own garden. When I bought my house last year, the garden was a real mess and I’ve had to remove 3 skips worth of rubbish from it. I also have a tiny budget so it will be fun to see what I can do. I am thinking of covering details of how I garden in a vegan and organic way. You can join me at my allotment as I experiment with creating plant feed from the nettles growing there.
