Mindful Settling- Grounding In This Moment

In the busyness of life a few precious minutes can be all we need to drop back in and connect with ourselves. This practice offers us space to stop, breathe and be. Allow this simple and gentle practice to support you to ground and settle, wherever you are in your day.

Transcript

So taking a couple of moments to find a comfortable posture, Perhaps your feet are flat on the ground, Perhaps adjusting yourself so your arms can be supported in your lap, Maybe allowing the spine to grow out of the pelvis and the head to balance, Balance above the spine. Taking a couple of deep breaths here. And as you breathe out, Letting go, Letting go of the day, Letting go of whatever you're holding, Arriving in this space, In this moment, Separate from the rest of the day, Noticing the feet on the ground, Noticing the gentle movements as the body breathes, Guiding your awareness up to the ears, Up to sound, And seeing if it's possible to notice the whole of the soundscape around you. Is it possible to allow sounds to come to you without seeking them out, Rather than noticing just the one sound, Opening to all the sounds around you, Noticing as sounds come and go, Change, Perhaps noticing the difference between hearing and thinking about sound. And when you're ready, Starting to release awareness of sound, Noticing once more the points where the body makes connection with the air, Perhaps taking one or two deeper breaths in and out. And in your own time when you're ready, Slowly starting to bring movement back to the body and open the eyes.

Reviews

This short meditation helped stay grounded after the four minutes. I’m reminded that while being grounded my body is physically present as well for mentally and emotionally. I find while grounded my breath is still with me.

A lovely gentle very relaxing little meditation, nice.

Excellent way to start the day. Thank you so much! love the sound of your voice!

Thank you for your gentle presence as you hold space for us. 🙏♥️
