A one-minute reset that clears mental clutter before you begin.

Colors
Vivid yellowElectric violet
Movement
Alternate hand-to-opposite-shoulder taps at a slow walking pace
Length
About 1 min

Before you begin

  • Stand up, or sit up straight.
  • Breathe deeply throughout.

Stay comfortable

  • Keep the taps light and rhythmic; there is no need for force.

A soft chime marks each change. Switch on spoken cues inside the session for eyes-closed guidance.

Moving your limbs across the midline of your body makes both sides of your motor cortex fire in turn. It acts as a hard neurological reset before any breathing or drawing practice.

Best for

  • Before any breathing or drawing practice
  • Just before Bilateral Doodling to spark new ideas
