Have you ever had the feeling that you are lost in your head? Or like your head is in the clouds? Or as if you are disconnected from yourselves and your surroundings? I know I have. When this happens, I can use some grounding to bring my feet back down to earth and reconnect with myself! The life we live in can be hectic at times. And sometimes our typical meditation practices might not help with these times of energetic disconnect. This meditation will help you get grounded. It will help you to re-connect with your body, bringing awareness to what you are feeling at this moment, moving energy to where you need it, simply with your awareness.

This guided mindfulness meditation will invite you to rest your attention on the present moment and to put the worry aside from the uncertain and challenging times we face. While it might not be realistic to alter the components of our life situation or the potential stressors, you can take the time to pause, connect with the present moment, come home to yourself and be in peace. As your life situation changes around you, know that it is not your life. Your life is always changing and you don’t always have control of what happens. You do have control over your responses. Your life is this moment, this breath, this body. Notice your environment, your breath, your senses and adjust your responses for peace at this moment. Practice this now during meditation so that you can continue to experience peace in your day to day life. “Ask yourself, is this situation within my control? If it isn’t, the only thing you need to do is let go.” ~ Louise Fitzgerald Do not listen while driving.Meditation was written and read by Sara Raymond Music: Coming Down by Christopher Lloyd Clarke from www.enlightenedaudio.com

It can be challenging to remain connected to your truth and aligned with your values in times of stress. Because this is difficult, it is important to be centered and grounded. Today’s centering and grounding somatic meditation will help you do just that. Somatic simply means being in your body. So, I’ll guide you to become present with the space you are in and your body to come home to yourself and feel a sense of safety within yourself. You will heighten your awareness of your experience to find your center in the present moment.

Enjoy this guided mindfulness meditation. When your mind is busy and full of thoughts, and you find yourself distracted, you may notice it doesn’t work to simply tell your mind to stop thinking. In fact, the expectation of a mind free of thoughts is impossible. This resistance to the experience of thoughts may even cause them to show up more frequently and seem louder. In this practice, I will guide you to practice shifting your attention to the quiet part of your mind, rather than expecting the noisy part of your mind to simply stop. Imagine expecting the chaos and noise of a party to simply stop because you wanted quiet. Instead, you would leave the chaos rather than asking the it to stop.
