Welcome to this grounding meditation.
This is your moment to pause,
To return to yourself,
And to connect with a deep sense of stability and support.
No matter what is happening around you,
This time is for you to settle,
To breathe,
And to feel fully present in this moment.
So I invite you to find a comfortable position,
Either sitting with your feet grounded on the floor,
Hands rested in your lap,
Or lying down.
When you are ready,
Gently close your eyes or lower your gaze.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
And exhale slowly through your mouth.
Begin to bring awareness to the natural rhythm of your breath,
Simply observing as it moves in and out of the body.
And with each inhale,
Imagine drawing in a deep sense of calm and steadiness.
And with each exhale,
Allow any tension,
Stress,
Or distractions,
Just to melt away.
So let's deepen the breath together now.
Inhale,
Inhale deeply through your nose.
As you do,
Just feel your belly expand.
And exhale fully through your mouth,
Letting go,
Softening,
And settling.
And again,
Inhale deeply,
Breathing in clarity,
Stillness,
And support.
And exhale,
Releasing anything that feels heavy or unsteady.
Just repeat this a few more times at your own pace.
And with each breath,
Just notice how your body begins to relax,
And how your mind begins to settle.
Now shift your awareness to how your body feels in this moment.
Feel the surface beneath you,
Steady and supportive.
Allow yourself to fully rest into it,
Knowing that you are held.
Notice the points of connection,
Where your feet meet the ground,
Where your hands rest,
And where your body is supported.
There is nothing to do,
Nothing to fix.
Just be here,
Breathing steady and whole.
Breathing in,
I am grounded.
Breathing out,
I am safe.
Just repeat a few times.
And with every inhale,
Invite in a deep sense of stability and balance.
And with every exhale,
Invite in a deep sense of serenity,
Let go of tension,
Restlessness,
Anything that does not serve you.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Silently repeat these affirmations to yourself,
Allowing their meaning to settle into your being.
I am grounded in this moment.
I am grounded in this moment.
I am steady,
Strong,
And supported.
I am steady,
Strong,
And supported.
I am present,
I am at peace.
I am present,
I am at peace.
No matter what happens around me,
I remain centered and calm.
No matter what happens around me,
I remain centered and calm.
With each breath,
I anchor myself in the center of my being.
With each breath,
I anchor myself in stability and strength.
With each breath,
I anchor myself in stability and strength.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Just allow these affirmations to settle into your being.
I invite you to take a final deep breath in through the nose,
Feeling this deep sense of grounding settle within you.
And exhale fully,
Releasing any last bits of tension.
When you are ready,
Begin to gently bring some movement back to your body by wiggling your toes and your fingers.
And if you closed your eyes,
Just softly blink them as you open,
Returning to the present moment with a renewed sense of calm and stability.
Carry this grounded energy with you as you move through your day,
No matter what comes your way.
Know that you can always return to this steady,
Present state through your breath,
Through stillness,
And through the awareness that you're always supported.
You are grounded.
You are strong.
You are here.
Thank you.
