Welcome to this short practice of grounding into your body.
Of connecting to an inner peace that you can bring with you into your day.
Find a comfortable seat.
Whatever that means to you today.
And begin to soften down your eyes until they eventually close.
Feel the earth beneath you.
Feel the air.
On your skin.
Soften.
Around your eyes.
Soften your jaw.
And drift deeper in.
Behind your eyes.
Drifting deeper into your own existence.
Beyond who you think you are.
Beyond even what you've previously imagined yourself to be.
Feel your breath move through you.
Just like the wind as it breathes through the earth.
Through the mountains.
Through the forests and leaves of trees.
Flowing along rivers.
Touching the grass and the lakes.
Feel it breathe through your body.
Take it easy.
Inhale here.
And it's soft.
Slow exhale The same wind that moves through the leaves is moving through your lungs.
And for a moment.
Right now.
You can let yourself be part of all of this.
Breathing in.
Perceiving the wind and the grounding energy of the Earth.
Breathing out.
Softening and a little more.
And as you breathe here.
Imagine yourself settling a little more deeply into your own body.
Into the quiet.
Beneath all the thoughts,
The plans,
The things waiting for you today.
There is a part of you.
That doesn't need to hurry.
A part of you.
That is still here.
Beneath all the noise.
Perhaps you can feel her.
In the gentle movement of your breath.
In the warm of your hands.
In this simple feeling.
Of being alive.
And now begin to notice the space around you again.
The air against your skin.
The sounds in the distance.
The ground.
Beneath your body.
Maybe your fingers begin to move.
Your toes.
Inviting a small movement through your shoulders,
Your neck,
Let your body wake up in its own time.
And before you open your eyes,
Take a moment to feel what it is like to be here.
In your body.
On this earth.
A part of something much larger than the thoughts you carry.
Or the things you have yet to do.
Take a slow,
Full breath in.
And let it leave you gently.
Again.
Breathing in.
And breathing out.
Let the breath move through you as freely as the wind through the trees.
Take one last gentle breath in.
And as you exhale.
Slowly begin to open your eyes.
Bringing this quiet presence with you.
Into the world.
