Stretching before meditation supports trauma-informed mindfulness by easing tension, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, and creating a gentle transition into stillness. Movement releases stored stress, supports sensory regulation, and prevents overwhelm. Trauma-informed tips: offer choice in posture, allow movement, use grounding tools, and focus on breath awareness without force. Mindfulness is about safety, awareness, and self-compassion, not perfection. 🌿💙
