Welcome.
This is Hope Arnold and this is a seated grounding for dizziness.
To start,
Find a seated place on the floor where your legs can be straight out in front of you and your back and your head are leaning against a wall so that your body is in an L shape.
Allow your feet to gently turn out.
There's no need to hold your muscles rigidly.
You can rest your palms flat on the floor on either side of your thighs for extra support.
Take a grounding breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.
And another.
Allow your body to sink into the surface that you're on.
Start by focusing on your heels,
Which are touching the ground.
Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Continued.
And as you're breathing in and out,
You're also thinking,
My heels are touching the ground.
I'm safe.
I'm not moving.
Do that a couple of times.
Then move to your calves.
Notice the parts of the body that are touching the ground.
Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
The ground is steady.
My calves are touching the ground.
I am safe.
Continue to breathe into your calves.
Notice your thighs.
Parts of the thighs touching the floor.
Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
The floor is still.
It's steady.
I am safe.
Notice the sit bones in the buttocks area.
Notice the firmness of the floor.
Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
It is flat.
I'm resting on it.
It is still.
Notice where your hands are.
Notice the touch of the palms.
They are still.
It is safe.
In through the nose.
Out through the mouth.
Notice your back.
All the parts of the back touching the wall.
The surface is straight up and down.
It is still.
It is not moving.
Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
I am safe.
And then finally notice your head.
Notice it leaning against the wall.
Noticing that it is still.
It is not moving.
You are safe.
Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
And then notice the whole body.
Notice all the touch,
Skin,
Clothing,
Any place your body touches the surface.
It is still.
It is safe.
It is steady.
You are grounded.
In through the nose.
Out through the mouth.
In through the nose.
Out through the mouth.
And you can stay grounding as long as you choose to.
Or if you feel grounded,
You can open your eyes and go about your day.
Thank you.
