ROOTS
Function of roots in plants
• Anchor and support
• Absorb and transport water and minerals
• Store nourishment
• Transfer genetic information from parent to offspring – know thyself
Practices that support you feeling grounded in the present
• Body practices – emphasize pelvic floor, legs, downward movement, wide, slow, releasing (restorative)
- Feel your feet on the ground
- Earthing
- Emphasize heaviness for more grounding, weighted blanket, vest, sand bags
• Breath practices – emphasize apana in it’s form of letting go, exhalation
• Mind practices – mantra – I am…
- I am grounded
- I am in my body
- Impermanence – This will pass
- I am connected to the Earth – I am held by the Great Mother
- I am rooted in my Truth
- I am rooted like a tree
- So Hum, Ham Sa – I am That, That I am
GROUND OF BEING – The True You
• Identify Practices and environments that support you in feeling like YOURSELF
• Know thyself practices
• Meditation – self-witnessing
• Journaling
• Play
• Dress, styling
• Language
• Music
• Release all posturing related to how you’re perceived by others, prioritize how you’re perceiving yourself
• Environments include people, sensory input, materials you engage with (tv, books), your space
What are some of the practices and environments that support YOU feeling like the true YOU? And are you engaging in enough of them right now? Why or why not?
