How can I ground myself if I start feeling anxious before the experience?

Try this:

• Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale slowly for 6.
• Feel your feet on the floor.
• Remind yourself: “I am safe, this will pass.”
• Gentle movement or stretching helps too. If you feel uneasy before dosing, wait for another day — there’s no rush.
