Welcome,
This is a guided practice for grounding.
You can make yourself comfortable and we'll begin by slowly noticing the space around you,
Noticing colors,
Shapes or solid objects.
Take your time,
There is no rush.
For this moment,
You might turn your awareness to your breath,
Noticing the rhythm of your breath,
The coolness of the air as you are breathing or the slight movement of your body with each breath.
Notice if there is any area in your body that feels positive or neutral.
Maybe your feet on the floor,
Your hands resting somewhere comfortable or your body being supported by the surface beneath you.
You might return your awareness to your breathing,
Noticing the rhythm of your breath in your own way.
You might notice sounds in the room and when it feels right,
You might slowly move your fingers or toes,
Reawakening slowly and when you're ready,
You can return to the space around you at your own pace.
You can move your body if that feels comfortable.
If you would like,
You can take one moment to thank your body for the work it does.
There is no need to feel anything specific,
Simply acknowledging that your body is doing the best it can for you.
You might take a moment to thank yourself for being here today,
For being present with yourself in any way you could.
Take a few more breaths at a pace that feels right for you.
Notice how it feels to choose how present you are right now.
Thank you for being here and for practicing.
We'll see again soon.
Bye for now.
