Reset and Recharge: Daily Breathwork for Solid Ground

The average human takes about twenty-three thousand breaths a day. In our last session, we focused on finding balance with every one of them. Today, we’re going to use that same breath to find something else: solid ground. So let’s begin. Wherever you are, just notice your posture. Feel the points of contact. Your feet on the floor. Your body in the chair.

The weight of your hands in your lap. There is no need to change anything. Simply notice the support that is already there. Now, bring your awareness to your breath. Noticing the gentle rise and fall of your chest or belly. And as you exhale, imagine you could release just a little more weight down into the earth. Allowing the ground, the floor, the chair to hold you completely.

Inhale, and feel the space you occupy. Exhale, and feel your connection to what’s beneath you. Sinking just a little deeper with each breath out. The mind will wander. That's what it does. When it does, just gently guide it back. Back to the feeling of your feet on the floor. Back to the feeling of the breath moving in your body. This stability isn't something you have to build.

It’s already here. You are just noticing it. You are just connecting with it. Take one more deep breath in. And as you let it go, carry this feeling of groundedness with you. This solidness is always one breath away.
