As a gift to ourselves and for this moment,
I want to guide our short meditation.
It's going to be a little more focused on grounding ourselves as a practice that perhaps we can do when we are feeling,
You know,
That perhaps a lot of changes and certainty is happening in our lives.
So if you do want to find a comfortable position,
I usually try to shift my position so I don't fall asleep.
Because it doesn't fall asleep when we're doing meditations and just kind of like back straight away from the chair and putting both feet on the ground.
In meditation,
It's about just sitting with yourself and there's no perfect way or wrong way to do it.
So if you want to close your eyes or just relax your gaze down,
You can do so at this time.
And we're going to start with what we did before.
We're going to start with connecting with an anchor.
And if you do want to place a hand on your stomach to help you,
Kind of like connect with this present moment in your body here.
Again,
It's going to be a grounded meditation,
Grounding with yourself in the present moment.
So putting your hand on your stomach and just feeling the breath and the movement.
And just trying to follow it.
And you can say in silence,
Up and down,
As you feel your stomach moving to the rhythm of your breath.
One of the things that can happen is that our mind gets distracted with thoughts and that's completely normal.
Or perhaps there's an emotion present.
Again,
We sit with that.
There's no need to do anything.
Right now,
We just notice,
We're thinking,
Notice,
We're feeling the way we're feeling and then we go back to our anchor.
That hand on their stomach.
And the up and down.
Now,
I invite you to let go of the hand,
Place it on your lap.
And we're going to our feet,
The best place where we can find grounding.
And just feeling your feet on the ground if you have wearing shoes or you're wearing socks,
Just kind of noticing what is present there.
Can you feel any sensations and entangling and equal stations,
Or any textures and moving your toes a little bit in a very kind and slow way,
Just to help you connect with the feed.
And then pressing towards the ground.
So you feel the ground underneath your feet.
Knowing that there's this ground that supports you.
That lets you stand,
That lets you walk,
Support your body.
Just noticing if there's thoughts or sounds and just coming back again to the feed and the sensation of your feet and how if you press down,
How you feel the ground,
The earth.
And just imagining,
Like some roots going down into the earth,
Allowing you to feel so grounded and connected.
Feeling supported by the ground underneath and feeling the energy of the earth,
Giving you energy,
Strength and allowing that energy to move up through your body.
Taking a deep breath.
As you feel that energy coming in,
Deep breath in and out.
You feel the energy re-energizing you.
Slowly,
You start to move your body because you feel this energy that has come in.
You open your hands,
Your feet,
Slowly start to open the eyes.
As you come back here.
