Welcome to this short grounding meditation.
Take a few moments to find a comfortable position,
Such as sitting upright in a chair or on a cushion.
Close your eyes if you'd like,
Or leave them open.
Do whichever feels best for you.
We'll begin this meditation by focusing on the breath.
So go ahead and take a nice,
Deep breath in,
And notice as your chest rises.
Pause and exhale,
And then notice as your chest falls.
Take a few more deep breaths here,
And allow those breaths to help steady your body and your mind.
Now pay attention to any sensations that come up in your body.
Notice the sensation of being supported by the chair or cushion beneath you.
Notice any areas of warmth or coolness in your body.
Pay attention to any sensations of tingling or heaviness.
Now there's nothing to fix here,
And there's no judgment.
There's just noticing and presence.
Now we'll end this meditation by taking one more deep breath.
So breathe in and notice as your chest rises,
And then exhale and notice as your chest falls.
If you close your eyes,
Gently open them,
And slowly bring your attention back to the room.
And I invite you to bring this feeling of steadiness with you into the day.
