Many of us have a low tolerance for discomfort in our lives and a high affliction for distraction. We are constantly being pulled away from ourselves like a flock of birds suddenly startled into flight, their once grounded harmonious formation dispersing chaotically across the sky. Our own minds and authentic selves can really feel scattered and fragmented amidst the distractions of daily life. We often feel lost and seeking direction like those startled birds, yet we yearn for a sense of alignment, connection, and wholeness. Today, I'm sharing another beautiful grounding practice, which is actually part 3 of this three-part grounding series. It's called connecting scattered parts. As we strive to connect our scattered parts we embark on this transformative journey of inner exploration Seeking to reclaim our focus we center ourselves and find solace in the present moment. So grab your headphones and find a comfortable seated or lying posture. Somewhere where you feel at ease and somewhere that you won't be distracted for a little while. This guided practice will start as soon as the podcast intro finishes. Enjoy my friends. Begin by finding a relaxed seated position. Allowing your body to soften by unclenching the jaw. Gliding the shoulders down, allowing them to nestle comfortably into the frame of the body, and opening up any rigidness or contracted muscles around the belly. Whenever you feel ready, close down the eyes gently, turning towards the rhythm of your breath as it flows in and out of the body like a beautiful tide. Feel free to adjust the rhythm and the pace of your breath to evoke a profound, comforting sense of connection with yourself and your physical body. As I count from 5 to 1, start to envision yourself stepping away from the noise and the chaos of the outside world and entering into a serene sanctuary within. Firstly, picture yourself lying in a tranquil garden space or secluded forest clearing. Somewhere, anywhere, where you can find a sense of solace and connection with your inner self, and also the earth around and beneath you. Feel yourself becoming more and more immersed in this peaceful environment, letting go of external distractions and embracing the tranquility of your inner sanctuary. As I count from 5 to 1, this gentle retraction from the outer world gets deeper and deeper. 5. Continuing to connect with your chosen comfortable place in nature. Comfortable place in nature. 4. Start to sense or visualize yourself lying down, feeling like your body is being deeply immersed and connected to the earth or the surface below you. 3, on the next out breath completely let go of all the happenings of the outer world. Allow your image or your visualization to become brighter and brighter. 2. Sink further and further into your body, allowing the parts of your body connected to the surface below to become heavy and grounded. 1. Grounded. 1. Invite a warm comforting embrace to delicately envelop you like the softest, most luxurious blanket imaginable, cocooning you in a serene sense of security. As you lay grounded and comfortable in your scene, start to visualize the sun, slowly but gracefully descending on the horizon. It casts a golden glow of warmth gently across your face and your body. Feel this warmth. Feel the comfort of this warmth. And allow yourself just to let go sinking deeper and deeper into this warming comfort. As the body lies connected and grounded to the earth. Start to imagine yourself looking up at the brazen depths of darkness of the vast night sky. Focusing in on the glimmering force of the shimmering light of the stars above. Observe their scattered arrangement. Light bursting between the deep indigo expanse of the night. And become aware of how some flicker, brighter and lighter than others. Each of these stars in the night sky represents a different aspect of yourself scattered across the expanse of the lunar landscape of the cosmos. Just as the stars in the night sky are scattered across the heavens, So too are the various thoughts, emotions and aspects of yourself scattered within and around your being. Some parts of ourselves have been splintered away into the depths many, many years ago, and some more recent. Yet this is the time right now to bring yourself back to a sense of wholeness, alignment and oneness. Alignment and oneness. Although the stars are physically thousands of kilometres away from your current grounded aspect, In your visualisation you are able to reach up and connect with their light, drawing them closer and closer to you whenever you like. So take a moment now to draw your attention towards 1 particular star. Notice what brings your awareness to it. Is it brighter than the others? Is it the iridescent colours? Is it the iridescent colors? Or is it just a feeling that's drawing you towards this 1 particular star? If this star were to symbolize a fragmented aspect of yourself, what would it be? This aspect could be something that you've ...
