Transcript

Welcome to this brief Feet on the Floor practice,

Starting by bringing attention to the soles of your feet,

Whether you're sitting or standing,

And directly into the points of contact between your feet and whatever they're resting on.

Perhaps your shoes,

Perhaps the floor itself.

And in doing that,

We can move into a little bit of detail if you want to.

So perhaps focusing in on toes,

Contact points of toes,

Balls of the feet,

Heels at the back,

And as we do this,

Really cultivating a sense of the weight of the body going down,

Held by the feet on the floor,

Having a sense of the solid of the floor beneath the feet,

Feeling a sense of being held by gravity,

Held by the floor,

Held by this planet itself.

Feet on the floor,

Knowing that you can do this practice at any point.

Go well.
