Hi,
Frankie here,
Welcome to this morning grounding practice,
Designed to awaken your body and mind with calm and intention.
Grounding and embodiment are powerful tools for starting your day with clarity and presence.
When you consciously connect with your body,
You align your mind and spirit with the energy of the present moment.
Grounding helps you to increase mental clarity,
Reduce feelings of stress and anxiety,
Enhance emotional balance and resilience,
Strengthen the mind and body connection,
Boost feelings of stability and inner strength.
As you awaken each part of your body,
You're not only energising yourself for the day ahead,
You're creating a foundation for peace and mindfulness that you carry with you throughout the day.
Let's begin by bringing your awareness to your breath and settling into this moment.
If you haven't already,
Closing your eyes,
Take a deep breath in,
Slowly exhale through your mouth.
Feel yourself settling into this present moment.
As you sink into comfort,
Let your body soften with each breath you take.
Feel the gentle rise and fall of your breath,
Grounding you here and now.
As you inhale,
Invite in warmth and awakening energy.
As you exhale,
Release any heaviness or tension within.
Let your awareness flow through your body as we do this practice,
Noticing the subtle sensations of awakening and presence.
Allow yourself to fully arrive here,
Grounded,
Aware and ready to awaken each part of your body with calm and intention.
Now let's begin the body scan,
Bringing awareness and connection to each of your body parts,
Waking them up and coming into the present moment.

Now take a deep breath in.
Feeling into your entire body,
Alive and present.
As you release this breath,
Release any lingering tension within your body.
Another breath in,
Feeling yourself grounded and at ease.
And as you release it,
Notice the sense of clarity and calm that fills you as you embody this awakened state.
Now repeat these affirmations after me.
I am fully present in my body.
I am fully awake.

I am grounded and I am ready for the day.
You are here.
You are awake.

Carry this sense of presence and awareness into your day.
Move through the day knowing that you are grounded,
Embodied and connected to yourself.
Feel the strength of being fully present in your body.
This is your foundation for calm and confidence.
You are here.
You are ready.

Blessings to you.
