A short grounding practice.
Let's begin by taking a brief moment to settle.
If it feels comfortable,
You might gently close your eyes or simply lower your gaze.
Bringing your attention to where your body meets the chair or the floor beneath your feet.
Noticing the support underneath you.
Now allowing awareness to widen slightly,
Becoming aware of sounds around you.
No need to label them,
Just noticing.
And now gently turning attention inward,
Perhaps noticing your hands resting or areas of tension and areas that feel more at ease.
Nothing to change,
Just noticing.
Take one slow breath in and one slow breath out.
And when you feel ready,
Gently lifting your gaze or opening your eyes.
