Anytime Grounding Meditation

This quick meditation can be done anywhere, in almost any situation when you can briefly be still. Use the meditation whenever you need to get out of your head and back into a solid place from which wise action emanates.

1. Sit or stand with feet firmly on the floor and length in your spine.

2. Pay attention to the physical connection from the soles of your feet through your shoes, down to the surface of the floor, through the building and all the way down towards the ground.

3. Picture the earth – the dirt, the rocks – supporting you.

4. Take a deep breath, so deep that the earth under you responds to your inhale, and with your exhale, she sends you her warmth, her comfort, and her steadiness.

5. You can follow several more breaths with this exchange or continue on with your day after simply one breath.

Imbalance Is O.K.

Spring is peeking her head in to let us know that she is close by. With the light lengthening, winter is melting, and nature is blossoming.

We start to feel a bit more active too. Sometimes we go so far into activity mode that it starts to feel imbalanced. We start to wonder if we’re doing TOO much. But you know what? That’s ok.

It’s ok to do too much sometimes. Just like it’s ok to take a break and rest.

Sometimes we are ready, open, and energized for a flurry of activity, a lot manifesting at once, creativity and ideas flowing in rapidly, and saying yes to lots of invitations. The universe is as excited for you as you feel.

Work this into your meditation practice. Look towards your inner guide and listen to the answer when you ask, “is this in line with my intentions?” Practice gratitude and no guilt.

Gratitude

This is the month of gratitude, of giving thanks. Gratitude is a way to forge positive thinking and reduce how stressful a situation may seem. I like to compare the brain to a massive, mountainous forest. The well-tread hiking paths come from repetitive use and become your default way. Each time you practice gratitude, you make that route easier to follow the next time - changing and reinforcing the neural pathways most used in your brain. It’s a practice like anything else. Throughout your day, be aware of when you can seize a few seconds of gratitude and hold it in your mind. Each bit counts!
