Balancing Tips:
Yoga poses:
Let's get grounded together! Try incorporating Mountain Pose (Tadasana), Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I), and Tree Pose (Vrksasana) into your practice. I've created a video just for you, focusing on these grounding poses to help you feel more stable and secure[link to the video].Mindfulness Practices:
Connecting with nature is so powerful. Spend some time practising mindful walking, tending to your garden, or simply enjoying the sensation of standing barefoot on the grass. These little moments can make a big difference.
Affirmations:
Boost your sense of security with some positive affirmations. I love using "I am safe," "I am grounded," and "I trust in the process of life." Repeat these to yourself throughout the day and feel the shift in your energy.
Practice of the Month: Grounding Meditation
Find a quiet space for yourself and sit down in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and rest your focus on your third eye (the point between your eyebrows). Take long, deep breaths through your nose. Sometimes, five rounds are enough; other times, you might need fifteen rounds, this depends on how you feel. Continue this breathing until you feel relaxed and calm.Draw your attention to the base of your spine and gently apply a Mula Bandha. Take a deep inhale, bringing your breath from the base of your spine all the way up to the top of your head along your spine. Hold the breath for as long as you feel comfortable, then exhale completely.
Do three rounds of this breathing exercise. If you are pregnant, do slow, long breathing instead of holding the breath.
Next, repeat these affirmations: “I am safe, I am loved, I am secure”. Repeat these affirmations as many times as needed until you feel safe, loved, and secure.
Remember that grounding ourselves is essential for cultivating a balanced and secure life. Embrace the practices that connect you with the earth and your inner stability. Here’s an affirmation to carry with you: "I am rooted, safe, and secure. I trust in the process of life."
