Taste Grounding Sip
A taste grounding sip uses one slow mouthful—water or mild tea—to close 5-4-3-2-1 with temperature and flavor attention on the tongue.
A taste grounding sip finishes sensory grounding with one slow mouthful—water, herbal tea, or mint—attending to temperature, flow, and aftertaste on the tongue. Small volume prevents bloating during panic.
Avoid alcohol or high caffeine as grounding tools. Works as the one-taste step of 5-4-3-2-1 or alone after breath.

-
Can taste grounding replace drinking enough water?
