Ground, just the very word evokes the earth – breathtaking, stable and ever present. Our feet walk on it every day. Our very beings are created from what it is made out of. Kindled in the souls of our parents and breathed into existence by the breathe of the creator we were called to be here standing on it’s surface today. Drinking the water that nourishes us and keeps our body fluid and supple helping to discharge toxins. Eating the gifts of food it gives us – the plants, the fruits, the seeds, the nuts. Each breathe we take is the very presence in the creator in our lives we breathe this song of our lives together.
Ground. Stable, strong in the present moment. Ground.
Take a moment and pause. Are you here in the now? Listen to your mind, feel with your heart… are you present? Are you in a timeless sense of centered stability no matter where you are at? Or are you on the freeway and late for the next meeting with 1,000 things happening seemingly all at one time.
Separate the moment and free your mind, steady your soul. Feel the mother earth at you feet, take three deeps breathes and clear your mind. Close your eyes and breathe and breath again. Connecting with gratitude in each breath and breathe with God… the breathe is the sign of life. Connect within your heart replacing all with this peace, this thankfulness. Feel the gratitude move through your being. Go to the crown of your head and run the gratitude down through your body directly into the Earth. Connect with the earth in gratitude. Lift your hands above your head and bend forward touching your hands on the ground. Repeat until you are in your center. Sometimes in your center you feel so good you can repeat for a long, long, time.
