Transcript

So let's begin by closing the eyes and just noticing where your attention is sitting. Where is your attention? See if we can with our next intake of breath lower the attention. Allowing the attention to travel with the breath all the way down through the body all the way down and into your feet. Stroking the soles of the feet with the breath with your attention and the breath. How do the soles of the feet feel? Is there any connection with the floor? Is there any sensation here in the soles of your feet? Any fizzing or tingling? Any movement? Any warmth? Any coolness? Breathing all the way down and into the soles of the feet. Experiencing how the soles of your feet feel inside your socks. And the skin on the top of the feet. Moving into the tips of the toes. And through the toes and into the bones of the feet and the bones of the ankles. Allowing the breath to travel down and through the body and taking in the whole of the feet. The feet and the ankles and the shins now and the calves. And the knees. And the tops of the legs. And the bottom. Breathing all the way down into our feet and our legs. Lowering our attention into this lower part of the body. And when we lower our attention into the lower part of the body. We anchor ourselves, We reconnect to our sense of groundedness. Throughout our day and our lives. Throughout our day and our lives when we get stressed the body becomes uptight. Energy moves into the top part of the body. This increases our sense of tension and uptightness. When we drop the anchor of our awareness into this lower part of the body. We give ourselves the opportunity to find our feet to regain our groundedness. So breathing into the sensations of the lower half of the body. Listening to the lower half of the body from your feet and the legs and your bottom. And bringing in your intentions for the day. Intending to remain grounded and centered and aware. Aware of when you're lost in thoughts and feelings and emotions. And bringing yourself back to the breath. Bringing yourself back to the sensations in the body. Back to this sense of groundedness. And breathing in to the toes and the feet and the legs. Breathing into this lower part of the body. We bring in our intention to remain grounded and centered and aware. Aware of our thoughts and actions and our interactions. When we bring ourselves back to the breath. We bring ourselves back to the choice of response over reaction. Response over reaction. We bring ourselves back to the breath. And we get to choose mindfulness over mindlessness. All in the space of a breath. So entering your next breath with the fullness of your attention. As it opens up the body. And as you let go. And we do this one breath at a time. One moment at a time.

Sooo good. Thank you.

Very helpful meditation. Great calming voice. Ending was a bit abrupt. My feet are aware now.

I loved this! What an interesting exercise in anchoring your breath and focusing mindfully... will carry this with my throughout the day.

Nice I think very effective, ... however it's not for me.
I wake with my mind on my feet. They hurt, constantly, never stops, due to neuropathy.
I'm commenting to see if others have this condition and any suggestions.
Thank you!
