Grounding (Stationary)
Take an intentional deep breath and as you exhale, relax any tension in your body and settle into the strength of your body, becoming aware of your posture and activity of your body - how your legs, hips, and torso are holding the position and weight of your body. Breathe again and settle a bit deeper into the stability of your body, creating a platform of relaxed readiness while taking in all the sensory information that makes up your situational awareness. Settle your mind and body into a keen readiness and respond skillfully to the world around you.
Reflection Questions:
- As you focused on your posture and body awareness, what did you notice about how your body carries tension or stability during moments of stillness?
- How did connecting with your breath and body impact your sense of situational awareness and readiness?
- How can you incorporate this practice of relaxed readiness into your daily routine, particularly in moments of high stress or focus?
