Self Soothing: Self Swaddle Wrap
Self Soothing: Self Swaddle.
Many times I feel like I am all over the place. My head, my heart, my body, my spirit so I like to do this exercise to reclaims sense of containment. You can use it for other reasons like comfort or security. Look up adult wrapping as well. This blanket belonged to my dearest friend so I call on him to pull me together. I like to leave a little out at the top of my head for a good but you don’t have to if that doesn’t feel safe. While swaddled I will cry, I will meditate I will sleep. You can adjust the tightness by simply letting the blanket out from underneath you. I like it tight so that when I cry I still feel contained, that I’m not falling apart, who can relate. It’s definitely something I enjoy and I feel a deep sense of having soothed and comforted myself.
