This is a brief grounding practice.
So sitting or standing,
Just get into a position where you can feel the contact between the feet and the floor.
So you might want to do this while you're still walking along or you might be sat somewhere with other people around,
That's okay.
And just starting to bring awareness to the soles of the feet.
So we're letting that attention sink down from the head down through the body all the way into the feet.
I might give the toes a little bit of a wiggle in the shoes.
So we can start to really feel the sensations of the feet.
Just noticing the bottom of the foot and where it's in contact with the shoes.
And also being aware of the ground that's underneath the feet.
And starting to get that feeling of the ground that's holding and supporting the feet.
Not that we have to do all the effort.
So just really allowing our attention to drop all this way down to the feet.
And we can use the out-breath to help this with this.
So we're breathing out and down all the way through the feet,
Down into the ground beneath.
And just let the in-breath take its own time.
Going as deep or as shallow as it wants to.
And then as we breathe out,
We might want to breathe out through the mouth and let go with a little bit of a sigh.
Just bringing that attention to rest all the way down at the feet.
And just allowing ourselves to feel grounded,
To feel centered.
To just feel that we're back in the body and we're really in touch with the feet.
And then if we happen to have closed the eyes whilst we're doing this brief practice,
We're just going to start to open the eyes.
Just bringing our attention back to the room around us.
Becoming aware of the world at large that's carrying on.
The sounds around us.
What we can see around us.
And then just very gently going about our day.
