Gratitude to the ground - Awareness

HAPPY FRIDAY TO EVERYONE laugh

Many of us, are not sufficiently grounded (within our bodies) and earthed through our feet. So, become aware of our feet could actually have massive vital impact on our health and quality of well being. For this reason I like to propose the following exercise for today.

Focus your attention on your feet touching the ground. Consider the kindness of the ground holding you up, providing a path for you to get to other things, not letting you fall away from everything else. Consider the strength of your feet, carrying you from one place to the other - every single day.

enlightenedWould you consider thanking the ground for being there for you?

enlightenedWould you consider thanking your feet for helping you to get around?

enlightenedIf you did what kind of feelings did you have?

I am exited to hear from you. smiley

(Hey, what about giving your feet a brief massage as a token of gratitude?)

@amiablePeace77 it's fun to try. I started grinning since I can't thank an object. But I'm grateful for things I have. :)

It's nice to be able feeling gratitude for what you have because gratitude is something we can build on, e.g. happiness.

There are so many good grounding yoga asanas. I like to focus on my feet when doing tree pose.

It's amazing how earthy and grounded you feel when you focus on, well, the ground and your feet. It's also helpful during panic attacks.

Thanking the ground (and touching it, I put my palms on it when I thanked it) made me feel more stable.

@exuberantOcean6739

Thank you for this helpful information Ocean. Tree pose is truly an amazing pose for experiencing and learning inner balance. I did not know about panic attacks, so thanks again for letting us know. yes

HIya Peace love this check insmiley hmm idk about thanking the ground tho- to me lol that is weird lol. But I am mindful of the ground and it's changes it goes through. I do how ever pay attention more on my feet due to being a diabetic. Lotion and rubbing and grinding lol. A massage tho sounds nice. I better get my dollars ready and bribe one of my kidsheart

@RumpleSteeleSkin

Hiya Rumple, I hope you get your massage soon laugh. You are right, thanking the ground for holding us is not for everyone, it sounded weird to me too in the beginning but it became kind of routine to me. It's important that we find out what is good for us.

@amiablePeace77 I am thankful for life, for the joy and the pain, for the sunshine and the rain. Without life I would be stranded on an island but now I am sailing to my destination. Thank you life.

Grateful for the air I breathe and sight to see. Thankful that I pretty much have what I want and need in the Physical realm. I lack in my person or soul.
