This is a breathwork practice to help connect you back to the Earth,
The Earth Mother.
To feel this sense in your body that you are held by something greater,
Something beyond yourself that you can lean into for support.
As we breathe and weave our way down,
Down into the ground,
You will start to feel a sense of ease,
Safety,
Stability come into your center line.
This is the gift of the Earth Mother,
Held in her embrace all can soften.
We spend so much time up in our heads in the clouds,
May this practice invite you down.
So just finding a comfortable spot to land.
Perhaps already your awareness starts to drop down into your seat,
Into your feet.
Drop your awareness from your head like it's going down an elevator on the back of your neck.
And down your spine all the way to your root.
When you arrive here to your root,
Straighten your spine just a little bit.
Perhaps start to imagine that the energy system that weaves its way out of your body is weaving into the ground.
And we will breathe into it,
Sending the breath down to nourish this connection with the Earth Mother.
We'll breathe in through our nose,
Send the breath down to your root.
Easy exhale,
Out through the nose.
Breathing into the root,
Out with ease,
In.
Just imagining that each breath in is like all of these roots are lighting up with life force.
Keeping your awareness down at the base.
Shoulders sink,
Jaw releases.
As you continue your slow breath through the nose,
Can you let your body be supported here.
I am safe in the arms of the Great Earth Mother.
And just notice here what starts to happen in your body when all of your awareness and attention comes down to the place where you meet the surface that meets the Earth.
Are you reminded that you don't have to hold everything up on your own?
Are you reminded that there's support here always for your body?
That in any moment you can choose to bring your attention to this place and be held there.
Just letting your breath return to normal.
It's safe to go on with your day with softness and connection to the Earth.
