🌳 THE PRACTICE

Sit comfortably with both feet firmly planted on the floor.

If comfortable, close your eyes.

Bring awareness to the points where your body connects with the chair and floor.

Inhale for 4 counts

Feel yourself becoming present.

Hold for 4 counts

🌳 GROUNDING AWARENESS

As you breathe, gently notice:

  • What is true in this moment?
  • What am I carrying that is not mine?
  • What can I release right now?
  • What requires my attention today?

Focus only on what is present.

Return to the breath whenever your mind wanders.

✨ AFFIRMATION

I am grounded.

I am present.

I am safe in this moment.
