For this meditation. If it feels comfortable to rest your feet flat against the floor then I invite you to do so. And if not? Simply take a moment to settle in to whatever position feels good to you today whether you're seated, Standing or lying down. Allowing your body to be supported by the surface beneath you This is simply a few moments to ground and come home to yourself. So taking a slow gentle breath in And as you breathe out, Allowing your shoulders to soften down just a little. Noticing the gentle rise and fall of your breath with no need to force anything allowing your breath to come and to go in its own rhythm. And now beginning to notice the places where your body meets the surface beneath you Feel the support that is already here in this moment. The earth is already holding you Now gently bringing your awareness down. To where your body meets the ground. And notice any sensations that are there Maybe warmth. Pressure tingling and in your imagination. You can begin to picture roots beginning to grow from the soles of your feet slowly reaching down into the earth beneath you and feel them traveling deeper and deeper finding their way through the soil steady, Strong and unhurried. With no force or pushing With each slow breath. Imagine these roots reaching even deeper anchoring you connecting you to the steady strength of the earth Whatever might be happening on the surface, The Earth remains steady at its core. Strong and grounded. And now you are deeply connected to that same source of steadiness imagining that with every breath in You are drawing that steady grounding energy up through your roots. Up through your feet, Your legs, Into your hips, Belly, Chest. Your shoulders and your arms to your neck and all the way to the top of your head. This beautiful feeling of strength and steadiness spreading through your whole body giving yourself a moment to feel this deep connection to there Rooted, Grounded and safe. Taking one more slow deep breath knowing that this steady place is always available to return to. And as we come towards the end of this practice, You can gently wiggle fingers and toes Take a stretch. Another easy breath when you're ready allowing your eyes to open May you move through the rest of your day feeling more connected, Steady and grounded. Take good care.
