Let's find some stability in the present moment with a grounding meditation.
Grounding meditation is a practice that involves connecting your body and mind with the present moment and the physical world around you.
It's often used to bring a sense of stability,
Balance and mindfulness.
Start by finding a quiet and comfortable place to sit.
Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the ground or cross-legged on a cushion,
Ensuring that your spine is straight and your shoulders lowered and relaxed.
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
Inhale slowly through your nose,
Allowing your lungs to fill with air and exhale gently through your mouth,
Releasing any tension.
Now bring your awareness to your body.
Feel the sensation of your feet on the ground or the contact to your body with the chair or cushion.
Notice the weight of your body being supported by the surface beneath you.
Slowly scan your body from head to toe,
Paying attention to any areas of tension or discomfort.
As you breathe out,
Imagine releasing any tension or stress from these areas.
Picture roots extending from the base of your spine,
Reaching down into the earth.
Imagine these roots growing deeper and deeper,
Spreading and anchoring you to the ground.
Feel a sense of stability and support as these roots connect you to the energy of the earth.
Bring your attention to your breath.
Notice the natural rhythm of your breath as you inhale and exhale.
If your mind begins to wander,
Gently guide your focus back to the breath.
Expand your awareness to the present moment.
Notice any sounds around you,
A feeling of air on your skin and the subtle movement of your body as you breathe.
Where do you notice the air entering your body the most?
Where do you notice it leaving?
Be fully present in the moment.
Now repeat a grounding affirmation to yourself such as,
I am rooted and grounded in the present moment.
I'm stable and secure.
Allow these words to resonate with you.
Take a moment to express gratitude for the stability and support you receive from the earth.
Acknowledge the interconnectedness of all living things.
Continue to breathe in and out mindfully for a few moments longer,
Feeling the calm and peace all around you.
Repeat this grounding meditation as needed to reconnect with the present moment and cultivate a sense of stability and balance in your life.
Have a great day.
Namaste.
