Hello loves,
Welcome to this five minute grounding reset.
Wherever you are,
Let this be a moment to come home to yourself.
If it feels safe.
Gently soften your gaze or close your eyes.
Begin by noticing what's already here.
The sounds around you,
Near and far.
The feeling of the air on your skin.
The subtle presence of your body in this space.
Nothing to change,
Just noticing without any judgment.
Take a slow breath in through your nose.
And a long steady breath out through the mouth.
Again,
Breathe in through your nose.
And exhale through your mouth,
Letting your shoulders drop.
One more,
Inhale deeply through your nose.
And exhale as if you're sighing out the day.
Now bring your attention to the points of contact.
Your feet on the floor.
Your body's supporters by the chair or the ground beneath you.
Let yourself be held.
You don't need to do anything right now.
Just be here in this moment.
Now gently notice four things you can feel.
Perhaps the weight of your body,
Your clothing,
Or the air on your skin.
And notice three things you can hear,
Near or far.
And two things you can sense within your body.
Perhaps your breath.
Your heartbeat.
Or any subtle sensations within your body.
If it feels comfortable,
Place one hand on your chest or your belly if that feels supportive.
And gently repeat in your mind.
In this moment,
I am safe enough.
In this moment,
I am safe enough.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Again.
In this moment I am here.
In this moment.
I am here.
Again,
Breathing in through your nose.
And breathing out through your mouth.
Now begin to deepen your breath slightly.
And just start to notice the sounds around you once more.
And the temperature of the air on your skin.
And the feeling of your body resting where you are.
Feeling supported by the ground or chair beneath you.
You might want to gently wiggle your fingers and your toes,
Just inviting a little movement back into your body.
And when you're ready,
There's no rush.
Softly blink your eyes open,
Taking in the space around you once more.
And return to your day grounded,
Present and supported.
Thank you for joining me for this five minute grounding reset.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Take care.
With love,
Karina.
