Tactile Grounding Object
A tactile grounding object is a pocket texture anchor—stone, band, or ball—for the touch step of 5-4-3-2-1 in meetings, transit, or queues.
A tactile grounding object is a pocket-sized item with clear texture—smooth stone, textured band, cold key, stress ball—to anchor the touch step of 5-4-3-2-1 anywhere. Choose objects that fit policy and safety; avoid sharp or noisy items in meetings.
Rotate pressure and temperature descriptions each use. Clean shared objects regularly.
Common questions
-
Do fidget toys count as grounding objects?
Yes if you deliberately notice texture, weight, and temperature—not mindless clicking. Pair the object with a breath or sight step for full orienting.
