Grounding

Instructions for "Grounding":

• Stop what you're doing and assume an upright, dignified posture in a chair.
• Feel the soles of your feet as they rest on the floor.
• Feel the support of the floor holding your feet.
• Feel your bum and back resting on the chair.
• Feel the support being offered by the chair.
• Bring your attention to your breath, follow it as it goes in and out of the body.
• Remember that your breath is always with you, keeping you alive while you get on with your day.
• Invite the breath to deepen and calm your nervous system.
• Return to your day, holding the awareness of the support and grounding that is available to you when you need it.

The simplest things can be a great source of comfort. Your breath, and the workings of gravity on your body are constant companions, but they often go unnoticed. 
Pay them some attention this week, and let their steady support comfort you. Know that they are there always to support and ground you whatever you face.
