This practice is a grounding meditation designed to cultivate a sense of safety in the present moment. It encourages awareness of the body's sensations, breath, and surroundings to counteract the anxiety that arises from uncertainty. By engaging in mindful observation—looking around, feeling physical support, and softening tension—we can soothe the nervous system and recognize that, in this moment, we are safe. The practice also addresses the mind’s tendency to project into the future, offering techniques such as breath awareness, tapping, and reframing thoughts to ease catastrophic thinking. Through repeated focus on the body and breath, this practice fosters a deeper connection to the present and a greater sense of internal security.
