Watch first
What this is
This is a simple calming exercise — NOT trauma therapy or EMDR. A soft dot glides slowly side-to-side while you breathe gently. Research by Schubert (2011) suggests slow bilateral eye movements may reduce mild arousal, and Brown & Gerbarg (2005) show paced breathing down-regulates the stress response. Together, they create a gentle focus that lets your nervous system settle. Stay with neutral, present-moment awareness — never dig into memories. Takes about 5 minutes, everything stays private on your device.
Who it is for
For anyone feeling mildly stressed, activated, or restless who wants a gentle visual-focus exercise to settle. Not for high distress, trauma processing, or crisis — if that's you, this tool will redirect you to something safer.
