A quick and easy daily activity that can be practiced a few times or several times a day and can help bring some stillness and calm in a bustling world is presented here.
- Feel the earth. Feel for the contact between the feet and the earth. If lying down, feel all the parts of the body in contact with earth. Feel any indirect points of contact between the body and the earth, imagining the connection between, say the legs of the chair touching the ground and the seat of the chair on which one may be sitting. If lying down on a bed, feel the connection between the earth, the railings on the bed and the body.
- 2. Take a deep breath. Feel the breath. Try to take deep, relaxing breaths.
- 3. Feel your body and imagine the oxygen you breathe and a healing loving life force relaxing all parts of your body.
- 4. Repeat the above process. One can do this, while waiting at a doctor’s office or watching TV, working on the computer or sitting in the lawn.
The above has benefits that are quick and palpable.
Doing the above several times a day can help one practice a calmer, grounded state of living and being.
As we know, we get good at what we practice. So we can practice staying grounded, calm, self-loving and peaceful.
Goodluck!
