Hi there.
If you're feeling dizzy,
Floaty,
Anxious,
Out of your body right now,
I see you.
Wherever you are,
Take a few moments to find a comfortable position that allows you to settle in,
Whether that's seated in a chair,
On the floor,
Against a wall,
Reclining,
Or laying down.
Notice if you want to adjust,
Stretch,
Roll out the shoulders or wrists,
Even let out a sigh or a flutter of the lips,
And find yourself here.
If it's comfortable to close your eyes,
Allow them to close gently,
And if it's more comfortable to keep your eyes open,
Just let them be heavy and relaxed with a soft gaze.
Notice if there's anywhere in your body that's holding on or bracing,
And finding space for it to soften.
Let your brow relax,
The corners of your eyes,
Your cheeks,
Your tongue.
Let your shoulders unwind and melt down.
And allow your arms and hands to melt just a little bit more.
Feel your legs give way to gravity,
And notice your breath.
Notice where it's landing in the body,
In your chest,
Or your belly,
Or both.
See if it has space to deepen a bit into the belly,
To expand,
Following it for a few cycles,
Letting the exhales become a bit longer,
Or finding ease and depth in the breath.
And wherever you're seated or laying,
Begin to bring awareness to the contact between your body and the surfaces that support you.
Feel where your feet connect to the ground,
And slight pressure where they meet.
Feel everywhere your legs make contact with the surface behind you or beneath you.
Feel your back pressing against it,
The pressure,
The contact,
The signals that tell you,
I'm here,
I'm supported,
Feeling held here,
Feeling that you can release even further,
Because the chair,
Or floor,
Or bed,
Will support you.
You can let go,
Just for now.
Checking in again on the breath,
Noticing if it has room to deepen,
Or to find more ease.
You may even begin to imagine roots,
Or a string,
Extending down from your legs,
Through your feet,
Down into the surface below you,
Down into the earth.
Tethering you,
Grounding,
Knowing that you don't have to hold on to yourself,
Because you're already being held.
Beginning to bring a little movement in by wiggling your fingers and toes,
Noticing if there are any other ways your body is wanting to move,
Or express itself.
A stretch,
A hum,
A flutter of the lips,
A deep exhale,
Even brushing an arm with the opposite hand.
Noticing the state of your body,
And your mind right now,
If anything has shifted,
Just noticing what it's like to come into your body in this gentle way.
And when you're ready,
Coming back to the space around you,
Opening your eyes if they were closed,
And carrying with you this sense of grounding and steadiness.
