This is a meditation and breath work practice to assist with grounding and coming home to yourself. Start by finding a comfortable position, Seated or lying flat down. Allowing your body to settle and feel the support beneath you. Gently close your eyes and take a moment to notice where you are. Notice the temperature of the room. Notice the sounds around you. Notice the feeling of your body being held by the earth beneath you. We'll begin deepening our breath. We breathe diaphragmatic breath in through the nose. Slow and steady, Exhale out your mouth. If you notice your breath in your chest, Send it a bit deeper, Slow and steady in through the nose. Slow and supported out of your mouth. Again, Inhale. And exhale. Continue at your own pace, Bringing your thumb and middle finger together if you notice your breath moving towards your chest. With every inhale, Invite yourself fully into this moment. With every exhale, Release what does not need your attention right now. As you breathe, Imagine roots extending from the base of your spine, Your hips, And the soles of your feet, Reaching deep into the earth beneath you. Through these roots, Feel the steady support of the ground. The earth is holding you. Affirm that you do not have to carry everything alone. Each inhale, Draw up steadiness, Strength, And nourishment from those roots connected to the earth. Each exhale, Send down stress, Worry, Overthinking, Anything that feels heavy. As you continue breathing. Notice the weight of your body. Notice the rise and fall of your breath. Notice that in this moment, You are safe. Nothing to fix. Nothing to solve. Nowhere else to be but here. Just this breath. Just this body. Just this moment. We breathe three final times together in through the nose. And out through the mouth. Inhale, Grounding. Exhale release. Inhale, Trust. Exhale, Gratitude. Returning to your own pace of breath, Inhaling presence. Exhaling, Surrender. Bringing one hand to your heart and one hand over your belly. Affirming silently, I am here. I am supported. I am grounded. I am light. I am whole. When you're ready, You can start to bring some movement into the body, Maybe swaying side to side, Moving your shoulders up and down. When you feel complete, You can gently open your eyes.
