And the earth can be a source of stability, empowerment, even confidence. Grounding and centring, and from this sense of earthing, just being available to the body’s whole sensing experience, inviting a warm and kind awareness as we do so, a calming awareness, a calming awareness, a healing awareness, permeating our whole body.  Sensing the whole shape of the body, perhaps noticing some fabric here and there on the skin, keeping you safe and warm, protected. Resting in the flow of breathing, calming in and calming out …..comforting in and comforting out …..soothing in and soothing out. Grounded, kindly aware, spacious, starry breathing, this open dimension always available at all times. Just simply resting in the breathing with a warm and kindly awareness. Whole-body breathing, crystal clear breathing, and if thinking arises, that’s ok, just appreciating the earth, the contact with the ground, and the vast spaciousness of this sensing body, there’s room for everything as well. Inviting a resting with the breathing. And you might imagine a colour or scent or energetic flowing in with that in-breath, filling the body with a scent and aroma of care and kindness, of compassion. Keeping the breathing company in a very gentle and soft way, as you might look and hold a flower. Smelling the rich perfume with each in and out breath, flooding through the body.  And keeping company within you whatever needs to be kept company in this compassionate and spacious way as we too are kept company by nature, by all of sentience, by the stars, sensing this web of connection, resting in the whole of it. We are in a way not just a part of the web, indeed we are the whole web.  Letting it rest in itself as we face the continuing day or night, inviting this quality of presence and connection to keep itself company to express itself in ways that are enriching and meaningful , enjoyable playful and spontaneous in a way that works for you, resting with all of this.
