"Good." Her smile was warm and bright, pleased to heart that Maea had found the exercise successful. It was something she'd practiced with a few people before, something that she'd found was highly effective for those with overactive thoughts, a way to calm the body and mind.
Reclaiming her tea from the table, Elizabeth took a small sip. "That was a combination of progressive muscle relaxation and grounding techniques. They can be used to help you push out unwanted emotions, to center yourself in the moment." Some might call it a form of meditation, although there wasn't so much of 'clearing the mind' as there was 'refocusing.' It helped people feel in control again, taking back each muscle from the anxiety that tried to take over.
Feet still flat on the floor, she considered Maea carefully. "What would you say your anxiety is at now? Zero to ten."
