Orienting Scan

Slowly look around to remind your brain where you are.

3 min · Grounding · Guided in the CalmShield app

What it walks you through

  1. Let your eyes move slowly. No rushing.

  2. Name three neutral objects.

  3. Turn your head gently left, then right.

  4. Notice one sound that feels ordinary.

  5. Feel the surface that is holding you.

In the app

Each step has what it needs: a timer, a tap counter or a breath pacer. Listen mode reads the steps aloud. At the end you can mark whether it helped, and the app suggests what to try next.

About Orienting Scan

How long does Orienting Scan take?

About 3 minutes, in 5 steps. You can stop after any step.

Can I do Orienting Scan 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.
