Transcript

Coming into a nice comfortable seat or laying position.

This focused mindfulness practice is designed to pull you out of stressful thoughts and back into the physical world.

Starting with naming three things you see.

This could be visualized or seeing.

From here,

Three sounds you can hear.

Next,

Moving three parts of your body,

Like wiggling toes or rolling shoulders.

Sitting or laying down.

Mentally start to scan your body from toes to head.

Noticing any sensation without judgment.

Scanning from toes up the body to your head.

Fostering a deep mind body connection.

Sense the solid ground supporting you.

Imagine strong,

Deep roots growing from the soles of your feet.

Visualize them pushing through the floor.

Deep into the cool,

Dark earth.

As you inhale,

Imagine drawing grounding energy up from the earth through these roots,

Filling your body with calm.

As you exhale,

Send any stress,

Tension or heavy thoughts down through those same roots back into the earth to be neutralized.

Inhale,

Imagine drawing grounding energy up from the earth through these roots,

Filling your body with calm.

Exhale,

Send any stress,

Tension or heavy thoughts down through those same roots back into the earth to be neutralized.

From here,

Feel as sturdy and unshakable as an ancient tree.

Even if a storm of thoughts blows through your mind,

Your roots remain firm.

Gently start to wiggle fingers and toes.

When you're ready,

Start to open your eyes.

Returning to the room.

Once you open your eyes,

Look around.

Name five things you can see,

Like a table,

A plant,

Or a crack in the wall.

From here,

Acknowledge for things you can feel,

Such as your feet in your socks,

The texture of your chair,

Or the weight of your phone in your hand.

Listen for three sounds.

Maybe it's the hum of a computer,

Traffic outside,

Or your own steady breathing.

Identify two smells.

This could be the scent of your clothes or the aroma of a nearby beverage.

Focus on one thing you can taste.

Notice the lingering flavor of your last meal or a simple sip of water.

Whenever you're ready,

Come back into the room as we already are.
