Anchor of Awareness Meditation In this meditation,

You will become aware of your body as the anchor of your awareness.

This will help you to shift from a mode of overthinking to intentionally inducing calm and clarity by focusing on the sensations in your body.

You can begin now by taking three mindful breaths,

Focusing on each inhalation and exhalation.

Become aware of the sensations of the breath as you feel more calm and at ease with each breath you take.

Now draw your attention to your feet.

Feel your feet on the ground.

Become aware of how your shoes or socks feel on your feet.

Maybe they feel rough or soft,

Tight or loose.

You are just noticing.

Now let the soles of your feet become the focus of your awareness.

Simply noticing how they feel right now.

Are they warm or cold?

Can you now become aware of your toes?

How they feel against your shoes or socks?

How they feel inside?

Simply noticing.

Maybe you could roll onto the ball of your foot,

Simply becoming aware of how it feels right now.

How about moving to lean more on the back of your foot?

Again,

Just noticing.

Now place your full attention on both of your feet.

No need to change anything,

No judgement,

Just simply noticing.

If you feel you need more time to ground yourself,

Try becoming aware of your hands.

Gently press your thumb into the top of each finger,

One by one,

Noticing the temperature of your hands.

Are they warm?

Are they cool?

Do they feel rough or soft to touch?

Noticing the palm of your hands and the front of your hands.

Placing your full attention here for just a few more moments.

Now we can conclude this grounding technique with three mindful breaths.

This is an excellent grounding technique to bring you into a state of ease and calm and into the present moment anytime you wish.
