Five-Minute Guided Breathing Meditation | Saprea

The ability to focus our attention on the present moment, including our current environment, emotions, and experience, is a technique that can be useful to anyone, especially survivors of child sexual abuse. Whether it’s to work through difficult emotions, manage states of dissociation, or soothe the limbic system’s flight, fright, or freeze response, survivors can use grounding techniques to help alleviate the effects of their trauma as they work toward healing.
One of the most effective grounding techniques survivors can use to reconnect with the present moment is one that we have with us at all times-our breath. Paced breathing, especially, can help you steady yourself and be aware of where you are now. Time your breathing with this blooming lotus guided breathing meditation as you slow down and turn inward.
At Saprea, we liberate individuals and society from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts. We have services that help child sexual abuse survivors find healing from the traumatic effects that have often followed them into adulthood, as well as resources for parents and caregivers to learn how to lower the risk of child sexual abuse in their own homes and communities.
