✦ Breath Grounding β€” Ritual of Anchor ✦

A brief practice to return the body to the present and feel the thread of the earth beneath you.
π“‚€
Step 1 β€” Settle: Sit upright, feet planted. Hands on your knees, shoulders soft. Close your eyes if it helps.
Step 2 β€” Breath (4-4-6): inhale gently for 4 counts; hold for 4; exhale slowly for 6. Repeat 6 times. Notice each exhale drawing you deeper into the ground.
Step 3 β€” The Thread: imagine a thin, strong thread starting at your tailbone β€” your balancing pole. With every inhale it tightens; with every exhale it steadies you.
Step 4 β€” Body sweep: quickly scan feet β†’ legs β†’ hips β†’ belly β†’ chest β†’ neck. On each out-breath soften any tension like letting go of an old cloth.
Short meditation (30–60s): visualize amber light flowing through the thread β€” warming, cleansing, anchoring. Whisper in your mind: β€œI stand on my thread. I am here, I am enough.” Open eyes gently.
