Hello and welcome to the session.
This is a present state awareness grounding mindfulness session designed to be used at any time but particularly if you feel the need to come back to the present moment to ground yourself in what's happening right now and just be more in your body and in the current moment.
If you find during the intuitive guidance sessions that it's a little bit much,
Play this track and come back to the present moment and return back to the practice at any time.
The goal of this practice isn't to relax you necessarily but rather to ground you in what's actually arising right now.
That said,
Slowing down the breath and really feeling the breath as it enters and leaves the body is a great way to both relax the nervous system and ground us mindfully in the present moment.
So let's begin by taking some slow calm breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth and just noting the sensations that are arising.
Really feel the air coming in and feel it releasing.
Just feel the sensations of the chair or the floor underneath you.
If you like you can put your hands on the ground and just gently move your fingertips.
Just notice the different sensations changing and moving and what's arising and what's falling away.
You know,
Keeping that small movement going,
Your attention on the breath or the fingertips.
Just really check in to what you can hear.
Not only the sound of my voice but perhaps sounds of nature or other people or other things in your environment.
What can you hear right now?
We're not judging,
We're not moving towards or away,
We're just noticing what is arising.
And indeed just drawing your attention to what you can see.
If your eyes are open just scanning the room without really attaching to any one thing but just noticing the details,
The depth,
The colors,
The shapes,
The sizes,
The light,
The shadow,
The patterns.
Just noticing what you can see right now.
And now turning your attention to what you can taste and smell.
Perhaps you can taste aspects of your last meal or you can smell something in the air.
Just really paying attention to what you can taste and smell.
Okay,
Now drawing your attention to this moment.
To all of the information coming in from your senses.
Maintaining the slow calm breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Just really noticing what you can feel,
What you can hear,
What you can see,
What you can taste and what you can smell.
Just adding some words internally.
I am here now.
I'm in this space.
I'm in this place.
I'm in this moment.
I am here now.
This is what I am feeling.
This is what I am seeing.
This is what I am feeling.
This is what I am hearing.
This is what I am smelling.
This is what I am tasting.
I am here now.
I am here now.
I am here now.
Okay,
So I invite you to continue grounding yourself for as long as you need to.
Perhaps by repeating this session,
By just continuing to cycle through the sensations that are coming to your body.
What you can see,
Hear,
Touch,
Taste and smell.
Keeping the slow calm breaths going at that internal mantra of I am here now.
And as always,
If you have any questions,
Anything you would like to share,
Please do so in the classroom.
Be there to answer any questions that arise and I'll see you in the next session.
