5 Minute Pocket Grounding Practice

As you take on your meditation practice, you will begin to notice a deeper awareness of yourself.  For many, this newfound awareness might actually cause us to feel perceivably worse before we actually get better because of the integration of our soul is taking place. Use this practice throughout the day as you need it or when you feel off-centered and it will get you feeling grounded again in who you are.
