From time to time we have the opportunity to speak publicly about something that is meaningful in our lives. In these moments, if we can find ways to ground ourselves and connect with our true self, we may be able to say what we really want to say in the way we really want to say it.
The practice of grounding can help us stay conscious of the present moment. Whether we are about to have a conversation with our partner, take action on a project, or do any other activity, if we pause and ground ourselves, we will be able to move forward with present moment awareness and engaged intent. This will enable us to respond creatively and intuitively, rather than reacting in habitual, unskillful ways.
It requires courage to stay grounded..Many a time we lose this touch with the true self and get swayed by the forces that are not in our favour. We should be firm and courageous here to listen to our inner source of strength. This inner being will never fail us.
Small process:
To begin the practice, simply allow yourself to be courageous enough to being in the present moment and then make the choice to be wholly present by releasing any attachment to the past or future.
Gently close your eyes and bring your awareness to your breath. Fully inhaling and exhaling two or three times allows relative relaxation of the body and mind.
Bring your awareness to your heart—the energetic seat of peace, harmony, laughter, and love deep within us at the level of the soul. With each breath, allow that energy to expand and fill your bodymind.
Become aware of the emotions you are feeling in that moment and then pause for a few seconds to allow the energy of realization and presence to reverberate within you.
With this process you will find that whole body is supporting you to be grounded. Just create courage to be in this moment.
