About Five Senses

How long does Five Senses take?

About 4 minutes, in 6 steps. You can stop after any step.

Can I do Five Senses without the app?

Yes. The steps on this page work on their own. The app adds a timer, counter or breath pacer to each step, can read the steps aloud, and remembers whether it helped so it can suggest what to try next.
