The 5 Senses

22nd Jun 21 | Go Back


This technique is about focusing your mind on the environment around you. It will help to give your brain messages that there isn’t any danger around. You’ll have to concentrate to really notice the different sights, feelings, sounds, smells and tastes around you.

  1. Name 5 things you can see
  2. 4 things you can touch
  3. 3 things you can hear
  4. 2 things you can smell
  5. 1 thing you can taste

You can try this backwards too. Remember there isn’t a right or a wrong way of doing it. Its about finding the right combination for you.
