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.

Turning Inward

As we move towards the Winter Solstice, there is an underlying current of turning inward, which runs deeper than the busyness of the season. It is important to give yourself the scheduled time to reflect, have quiet space, and connect with that deeper current in yourself.

Moving with the cycles of nature, our bodies and minds are asking us to shift towards quiet, move more slowly, crave more time to listen to intuition.

When you make the time to sit and meditate or reflect and journal, ask yourself what you no longer need and set an intention to shed and release it. This is a powerful time of year to do so. It makes space for what will come into your life when the cycle takes us to light again.
