Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank you so much for being here.
My name is Carrie and I'm goingto guide you through a
grounding meditation today.
I'd like you to start in anupright seated position.
Just get comfortable.
You can sit on the ground, on amat, a pillow or whatever you

(00:20):
have available.
Rest your palms on your knees,either face up or face down,
whatever you prefer.
Now I'd like you to close downyour eyes, if you feel
comfortable, and just begin totake notice of your breath.

(00:41):
Sitting tall, pulling yourbelly button towards your spine.
Your chest is forward.
Now give your shoulders alittle roll, pulling them back.
Let's just do this a couple oftimes as you settle in.

(01:06):
Now let's start by breathing inthrough the nose for five, four,
three, two, one, and outthrough the mouth for five, four
, three, two, one.
Just repeat this a couple ofrounds In for five and exhale

(01:39):
for five One more time.
Inhale for five, four, three,two, one, and let it go for five
, four, three, two, one.

(02:03):
Now that you've connected toyour breath, just keep with your
natural rhythm.
Begin to take notice of yourbody, notice if there's any
areas that feel tense or in pain, and as you breathe, I want you

(02:28):
to send your exhale to thisspace and, with each exhale,
just allow that tension torelease.
Just stay here for a moment,just breathing in and out, in

(02:51):
and out, releasing anythingyou're holding in your body,
releasing any racing thoughts oranxious feelings.
Breathe in and exhale, release.

(03:16):
Maybe you feel a littleuncertain about the future or
worried, worried there's notenough time to get things done
in your day.
Maybe you have fear.
Maybe you just feel tired.

(03:37):
Each time you breathe in andout, just recognize where you
are.
There's no shame.
Just allow yourself to noticeand to feel and just keep

(04:01):
breathing, Releasing anythingthat isn't serving you or
bringing you peace, any thoughtsthat are causing you pain,
causing you doubt.
Just let them go as you.

(04:29):
Let those thoughts go with eachbreath.
Just begin to think about thethings that bring you peace.
Think about the things thatmake you feel happy, the moments
that you find yourself laughing, what it feels like when your

(04:54):
body is at ease.
Remember what it feels likewhen you're not rushing or
hurrying.
Let's just take our focus onjust being in the moment, the
moment that is present, the onlymoment that really is the

(05:20):
moment that is now, and just behere.
As you settle into this moment,you can take a scan of your body
.
Start by focusing on your feetand the way they are connected

(05:49):
to you.
They are connected to the Earth.
Just feel a moment of gratitudefor the way your feet serve you
each day, the way they groundyou to the Earth, the way they
carry you from place to place,the way they help you to take a

(06:14):
stand or to move, and just begrateful.
Now you can just begin tonotice your calves, your shins,
your knees, your thighs and yourseat.

(06:41):
Notice the way they are holdingyou up, offering support,
giving you strength, moving intoyour spine and up your back,

(07:02):
recognizing the powerhouse forevery movement that you make,
for every breath that you take,and be grateful.
Now focus on your belly, theway it rises and falls with

(07:23):
every breath, the space in yourbody that holds creative power,
a nurturing space that holdslife, and give thanks.

(07:45):
Now just take notice of yourchest, the space that holds your
heart, your feelings as youfeel, your breath, and your
chest and your lungs.
Just feel the gratitude for theemotion of love, for the

(08:18):
feelings of joy, for the feelingof inspiration and hope, and
even gratitude for the feelingof pain.
We can only feel pain becausewe can feel love, be grateful

(08:49):
for all.
The small space of your bodycan hold the infinite amount of
breath and love that can comefrom this space over and over
again, day in and day out, andgive thanks.

(09:10):
Now, just begin to notice yourshoulders, your arms, your
forearms and your hands.
Maybe they feel tired, maybethey feel strong.

(09:37):
Think of all the things thatthey do for you each day, every
emotion of lifting, reaching,holding, touching, hugging.

(09:58):
The gift of connecting throughyour arms and through your hands
, the gift of working, the giftof doing, creating.

(10:30):
Now just begin to notice yourneck, noticing how your face
feels, your jaw, your cheeks,your forehead.
Just allow them to relax, givinggratitude and thanks for the

(10:58):
ability to speak, to smell, tosee, to hear, and for your mind
and the power of your thoughtsand ideas and the beauty that
this mind is uniquely yours,thoughts and ideas that can only

(11:18):
come from you.
As you feel overwhelmed withgratitude and peace, you can
just begin to wiggle yourfingers, wiggle your toes, give
yourself the gift of thereminder when you're in your
day-to-day activities, whenyou're in the hard moments, when

(11:41):
you're in the rush, and you cancome back to this, this peace
in knowing exactly who you are,exactly, all of the good life
that is held within your body,from head to toe, remembering to

(12:06):
just breathe and release, tobreathe and accept, to breathe
and continue moving.
You can start to flutter, openyour eyes, come back to

(12:27):
consciousness.
