A Guided Meditation to Lower Your Stress and Feel More Grounded with Dr. Kate Truitt

Stress can linger in the body long after a moment has passed. It can narrow awareness, tighten the breath, and make it harder to feel settled or present.

In this guided exercise led by Dr. Kate Truitt, you are invited into a gentle practice designed to reduce stress and support resilience through breath, vision, and awareness. This experience helps the nervous system slow down, expand perception, and reconnect with a sense of safety in the present moment.

Through paced breathing and visual grounding, this meditation supports the brain in easing stress responses and shifting back toward regulation. It also invites reflection on moments of connection, helping the body remember what calm and support feel like from the inside.

This practice can be returned to whenever stress feels heavy or your system feels overloaded. Even brief moments of intentional breathing and attention can support steadiness and choice throughout the day.
