Simple Grounding Meditation

Welcome to my grounding meditation.

First,

We start in a seated position,

Checking in with your posture.

Making sure your spine is straight,

Yet relaxed.

Your arms and hands may fall wherever is most comfortable.

This may be at your sides,

In your lap,

On your knees,

Or maybe even one hand on your heart and the other on your belly.

Finding what feels good and settling into that.

Next,

We'll take a few deep breaths together.

Exhaling deeply through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.

One more time,

Inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.

Not worrying about maybe how silly you sound or if anyone can hear you.

Taking these deep breaths can really ground you in the present moment.

Coming back to our breath when we feel overwhelmed,

Stressed,

Or distracted.

Knowing that we can always come back to the breath and come back to the body.
