Which practice is used to settle the body before each session?

• A. Coaching Process
• B. Self-Regulation Sequence
• C. Mindful Grounding
• D. Personal Boundaries

Answer: (C)

Settling the body before a session is about bringing the client into the present moment and quieting arousal so they can participate openly and safely. Mindful grounding uses simple, deliberate cues—often focusing on breath, bodily sensations, and immediate surroundings—to anchor attention in the here and now. By guiding the client to notice their feet on the floor, the rise and fall of the breath, or sounds and sensations in the room, you help shift from a fight-or-flight state toward a calmer, alert state. This sets a foundation for clearer thinking, better listening, and more authentic engagement during the coaching conversation. That’s why mindful grounding is the best choice here. It’s specifically aimed at regulating the nervous system and establishing readiness before coaching, rather than describing a general process (coaching process), a broader regulation sequence, or personal boundaries, which do not center the body grounding practice used to settle into the session.
