What's Covered?
When we're anxious or stressed, we're focused on the past or the future. Mindfulness, such as grounding, helps you focus on the now. This activity teaches:
-
How to use an object - such as a grounding stone - to help you stay in the moment
-
How to use your senses to stay mindful of your experience
-
How to use grounding to help with symptoms of anxiety, stress, or PTSD
Your students will leave with a tangible skill they can use forever. This event works for in-person or online groups!
Add Some Creativity
If you'd like to add some creativity to your event, you can also include a decorating option. If you are presenting in person at an event or booth, provide rocks and decorating supplies. If you're presenting on Zoom, give your group a heads up and ask them to bring a stone and a few supplies. This makes the activity fun and memorable!

Reviews of the Grounding Stone Kit
"This was perfect. I needed a mindfulness activity for my students. I downloaded the worksheet and we listened to the audio together. We all felt more relaxed afterwards! It was so fast and affordable. Thank you!!"
- Stacey, School Counselor
"We had heard about grounding stones and wanted to use them for a wellness event. This poster worked great. We set up a table and had rocks and decorating supplies out. People were able to follow the instructions on the poster and take the handouts with them. They loved it."
- Jan, Human Services Consultant
"I run a lot of groups and this was a good fit for anger management and DBT. Between the worksheet, the audio, and decorating the rocks, we had a fun day in all of the groups. Plus it covered specific goals like understanding and using mindfulness. It's a tool they literally took with them."
