It is enough for me as the therapist to simply place my hands on the client’s body, lightly touching the skin. Then I ask the client to “come to my hands with your awareness.” At first, it can take some time for clients to clear their mind sufficiently of mental or emotional clutter in order to sim-ply sense where their body is and what is going on in it. Therefore, I repeat the process several times. This is a simple way of helping clients to use their own sensing as a resource to get them grounded in their own body.
