How to Calm Your Mind with the Calmness S-Stroke

In this video, Aditi Surana — High Performance Leadership Coach & Behavioural Expert — introduces the Calmness S-Stroke, a simple yet profound handwriting-based practice designed to help you regulate your nervous system, quiet mental noise, and return to a state of balance.

The Calmness S-Stroke is not just about handwriting. It is a neuromuscular exercise that builds new patterns in your brain and body. With every gentle repetition of the flowing “S” shape, your mind begins to slow down, your breath deepens, and your system starts to shift from stress to steadiness.

Over the past few years, more than 50,000 people worldwide have learned and practised this stroke — from senior leaders and entrepreneurs to students and homemakers. Many report feeling calmer, more centred, and more resilient, even in the middle of high-pressure or emotionally triggering situations.

In this video, Aditi answers the most common questions:
What exactly is the Calmness S-Stroke?
Why should one practise it regularly, and what changes can you expect?
How does this practice actually create calm at a neurological level?

All you need is a ballpoint pen, a lined sheet of paper, and a few minutes a day. With consistent practice, the Calmness S-Stroke becomes like a handwriting yoga session — a small daily ritual that trains your mind to remain steady, even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.
