Hello my dears,

Today I wanted to share as a meditation a mantra that came to me while hiking on a day when my mind was spinning a story about a situation I was in and I almost lost my balance.

As I found my footing,

I felt the earth beneath me asking me to find my roots and ground down below the turmoil of my emotions.

The hawks circling overhead seemed to be calling me to rise above my spiraling thoughts.

As I did,

The trees all around me were modeling how to find the still point within.

And the vastness of the sky reminded me to choose love over my fear-driven brain.

What came from that experience is a repetitive mantra and you may find it helpful for when you're feeling caught in the turbulence of life,

Whether it be inner or outer,

To find your way back to the ground within,

To your center.

It may also help shift you out of fear and reactivity and into groundedness and love,

Out of duality and into oneness.

Feel free to repeat the words with me out loud if that feels right and to add movement to underscore the words if you find it helpful for anchoring the meaning of them into your body.

You can listen to this lying down,

Sitting up,

Walking in nature,

Maybe even driving your car,

Letting the words wash over you and call you back to your inner home.
