grounding cycle

feel your lower body

feel your seat, legs, feet, toes

wiggle your toes

count backwards from 10

- at some point during the countdown, wiggle your toes again

- you choose when

feel your perineum - between your anus & genitals - while picturing the color red

say, silently or aloud: I am rooted, I am grounded

say, silently or aloud: my body is earth, my body is home

take 3 deep breaths: power at the belly, draw in through the nose, exhale with a sigh

see how you feel

for more grounding, repeat
