Finding a way of being that brings a sense of safety, of groundedness, your present that

at ease.

I often like imagining myself as a tree is that the rootedness in the earth.

And you might feel that since the weight, pressure where you're contacting the floor and

sense the earth beneath and around you, you might sense the hug of gravity that gives

that sense of belonging.

And also sense the sky, a space around you.

And there's really room for what arises for our laughter, for our tears, for it all.

And you might sense behind you, whatever brings up the experience of being supported.

For some sense of the ancestors, others, those living that we feel trust and love with,

for some spiritual figures, part of the natural world.

So sense of support from behind and sense in front, a samba, our community, those gathered

to awaken hearts and minds, whether they're here in this moment or that you know they're

here in the field.

So sensing those four directions and feeling this very body breathing right here and now.

And you might lengthen the breath so that if you count to four or five, it's a long,

smooth, deep in breath.

Please breathe in.

And that same count to four or five as you exhale slowly, inhaling slowly and deeply,

matching the length of the breath with the exhale.
