The butterfly hug is a self-administered technique that can help you calm down and cope with stress and anxiety. It is based on the principle of bilateral stimulation, which means activating both sides of your brain by moving your eyes or tapping your body in a rhythmic pattern. The butterfly hug can also help you process traumatic memories and emotions in a safe and gentle way. #anxietyrelief #anxiety #butterflyhug #somatichealing #lonely #holidays #feelbetter
