Welcome to this short practice to bring the energy down and ground yourself. This practice is really good to do outside but you can also do wherever you are. We're going to start by removing our shoes. If you have any you can leave the socks on and just begin to feel your feet touching the floor, Touching the earth beneath you. Your eyes could be closed or your gaze could be open. Just following your breath and if your gaze is open just Take your gaze all around you. Looking at everything that surrounds you, Following your breath. Or keeping the eyes closed, Focusing on the breath moving in and out of your body. Hands are relaxed. Besides your legs, Beside your torso. Knees will be a little bit bent. Let's take two more deep breaths here. Just feeling the soles of the feet. The heaps. The leg. Take a deep exhale. Let's open our eyes. We're going to move our hands with the breath. So bend the knees as if you were going to grab energy or water from the earth. Take a deep inhale. Bring this energy up to the center of your chest and exhale, Palm of the hands look down, Bend the knees, Bring the energy back to the earth. Grab energy from the earth. Inhale, Bring it up to your heart center. Exhale out the nose or the mouth you choose. Bring the energy down. We're gonna do it three more times. Inhale up. Exhale down. Keep your arms, Your shoulders, Your elbows very soft. One more time. Exhale this time, Don't bend the legs, Bring the hands to your lower belly. Feel your breath on the lower belly. Keep a tiny bend on your knees. Allow the body to swing, To sway from side to side. Gently releasing the movement, Coming back to centre. Keep your attention on your hands on the lower belly. Two more breaths. Just bring a smile to this moment. To your body, To your day, To your life. And as you exhale, Gently release the hands, Open the eyes. And thank you so much for joining this short grounding practice.
