Five Minute Grounding Reset

This five-minute reset is designed to help you stay grounded and present. It's a wonderful resource when you're feeling overwhelmed or caught in thoughts about the past or future. It invites you to return to the beauty of this moment and to receive all the love, joy, and peace you need to carry on with your day.

I often return to this short practice several times a day to keep my energy and mind clear. I wish that same peace, joy, and love for you and yours.

Welcome,

I would invite you to get as comfortable as you can in this moment,

Whether it's sitting in a chair or lying down,

If that's available to you.

But for the next two minutes,

Just giving yourself the space to be as comfortable as you possibly can.

And if it's safe and accessible for you to close your eyes,

Please feel free to do so.

Otherwise,

A soft gaze in front works just as powerfully.

And as you allow yourself to arrive in this moment,

Feeling the seat or the back against a bed,

Recognizing that you're being supported in this moment,

Allowing yourself to just release into this moment.

And for the next 90 seconds,

Tapping into your sense of sound,

Noticing whatever space you're in,

The sounds that are happening around you,

The sounds that are closest to you,

Perhaps it's the sound of your own breath.

And then taking that curiosity to any sounds that are happening outside the room,

If you're in a space where you can hear the sounds outside.

Acknowledging the thoughts as they surface,

And then releasing them and bringing your attention back to the sounds either inside or outside your space.

Even noticing if your ears are ringing,

Mine seem to be ringing right now.

Just being curious and observing that without a story or thought,

Just observing.
