Grounding: Stand steady (S12E3)

Tap to send me your reflections ♡

The Buddhist teacher thicht nacht hahn tells us how when we look at the tops of trees in a storm, they are wild and look like they might fall. But when we lower our gaze, we see their trunks are standing steady.

This reflection felt so perfect when I read it after completing the practice I'd like to share with you today, a practice that introduced me to a piece of wisdom I hadn't been expecting to receive. I share:

• An ancient and very simple re-grounding practice, to use whenever you feel disconnected or lost in the noise and challenges of the world
• My own personal experience of using this practice, and how it feels to listen deeply to your inner wisest self as you connect with nature
• How while being able to move with the flow is important, sometimes it is also important to hold ourselves steady and trust what we know to be the deepest truth

You may wish to also explore Wisdom from Within, a fully guided, online teaching to support you in deepening your connection with your own inner wisdom.
