Grounding Meditation
This is a guided meditation that I created to support you in connecting deeply to the Earth. With so many external stimuli and so much time spent in our heads, this meditation provides you with the opportunity to shift your awareness out of your mental mind and to become more fully present in your body. My intention for this meditation is to provide you with a deep sense of being grounded. I hope that you enjoy the journey.

Very gently now,
When you feel ready,
Beginning to bring your awareness back towards your physical body,
Very gently beginning to become aware of your presence within the space in which you sit or lay,
Once more bringing your attention to any sounds that you can hear outside of your room,
Once more bringing your attention to the sounds that you can hear inside your room,
Becoming aware of the smells and aromas,
Once more feeling your feet where they connect to the floor beneath you,
Noticing the pressure of your calves,
The backs of your knees,
Your thighs,
Buttocks and hips,
Feeling where they connect to the floor or the seat beneath you,
Becoming aware of your back,
Your shoulders,
Feeling where your back and shoulders connect to the floor or the seat behind you,
Bringing your attention to your arms,

Noticing where they rest against your body,
Once more becoming aware of the rise and fall of your chest,
The expansion and contraction of your belly,
As you wriggle your fingers and toes,
Stretching your arms and your legs,
Becoming fully aware of your surroundings and your physicalness,
Your physical body and when you feel ready,
Opening your eyes.
Namaste.
