🕊️ If You’re Not in Crisis, But Struggling

Here are some ways to ground yourself until you can reach support:

Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 6.
Name 3 things you can see, 2 things you can touch, and 1 thing you can smell — to come back to the present.
Write down what’s happening in your body right now — sensations, not stories.
Reach out to someone you trust, or post in The Healing Room with the tag #supportneeded so a moderator can check in.

Reminder: You are not alone.

Needing help does not make you weak — it means you’re human, and your nervous system is asking for safety.

With love,

The Alchemist Ri🕊

“Peace first. Healing follows.”
