Let's get grounded together.
So I want you to bring your awareness to how you're feeling in your physical form in this moment.
Just notice what sort of tension or constriction you might have.
Notice how you're feeling just from head to toe.
In bringing the awareness to the toes now,
Just press all of your toes into the shoes and press the sole of the feet into the shoes or directly on the floor if you don't have any shoes on.
If you're laying down,
Still just press your feet energetically down.
So flexing the feet for a moment and then releasing that flexion of the feet.
So if your eyes are open and you have the opportunity to close them if you're not driving,
Then I invite you to close them.
If not,
Just keep the gaze soft.
And with the awareness now still at the feet,
Just really want you to feel into whatever surface they're making contact with,
Whether that be socks or shoes or ground.
And then bring the awareness up the legs,
To the knees,
To the hips.
We're just going to kind of zero in our awareness to that space in between the hips and the low back.
Just notice how you're feeling there.
And maybe just allow the body to just gently sway from side to side,
Just allowing a little space to come in,
A little expansion to occur.
Just notice how it feels to gently sway from side to side.
And then bring your awareness to the tailbone and just energetically lengthen.
By that I mean just from your tailbone to about the center of your chest,
Can you lengthen?
It's almost as if each of the discs in between each vertebrae were stretching out.
They're taking a big yawn.
It's stretching out.
Just notice how it feels to be a little bit more expansive there.
Now I want you to bring your awareness to your breath.
And on the next inhale,
See if you can just follow that to that part of your body.
So to the lumbar region,
Maybe to the center of the belly,
Just follow that breath.
And as you inhale and exhale,
Just notice if you can sense the breath in those areas.
And if you don't,
If you're not able to sense it,
It's all right.
Just get curious.
Just notice.
Can you feel the belly expand?
Can you feel the breath expand into the back body?
Can you feel more openness and more expansiveness with each inhale?
And can you release just a little bit more with each exhale?
I can encourage you to just repeat these affirmations with me.
I am safe.
I am secure.
I am grounded.
I am stable.
I am supported.
I am whole.
All I do in this life is supported.
I am safe.
I am secure.
I am supported in this life.
I am safe.
I am secure.
And I'm supported in this life.
Everything I step into is supported.
Notice what comes up for you.
If that feels hard to believe,
I'm just going to encourage you to keep breathing with me.
We're going to deepen the breath.
Inhaling for two,
Three,
Four,
And exhaling.
Just releasing with that exhale.
Fear,
Worry,
And doubt.
Inhaling,
Exhaling fear,
Exhaling worry,
Exhaling doubt.
A few more like that.
Inhale,
Follow that breath into those nooks and crannies that need opening.
And as you exhale,
Releasing worry,
Releasing fear,
Releasing doubt.
I am safe,
I am secure,
And I am supported.
There is a stable foundation underneath me.
I am grounded and rooted in that foundation.
I am safe,
I am secure,
And I am supported in all I do in this world.
One more breath together.
Inhaling,
Opening,
Expanding.
And on the exhale,
Releasing,
Releasing,
Releasing.
I am safe,
I am secure,
I am stable,
I am supported in all that I do.
Allow your awareness to come back to the sensation of your feet,
Wiggling the toes,
And just remembering any time you feel overwhelmed,
There's the opportunity to feel your feet on the floor and remind yourself,
I am safe,
I am secure,
And I'm supported in all that I do.
Gently allowing the eyes to open and taking this grounded presence into the rest of your day.
