What techniques work well in a meditation script for stress?

Practical techniques include extended-exhale breathing, a quick body scan to find and release tension, grounding through the five senses, and a brief noting of what feels heavy so it has somewhere to go. Short repeated phrases give the mind an anchor when it keeps racing. The goal is not to empty your head but to lower the body’s alarm enough that the pressure feels workable. StillMind assembles these around your situation.
