Grounding Down and Rising Up, a Meditati...

Sean Fargo
About this episode

When blown about by life’s movement and strong winds of change, mindfully grounding can have a calming, stabilizing effect. Sensing only downward energy, however, can sometimes have a heavy, depressive effect.

In this guided meditation, led by Sean Fargo, we are invited into a state of balance by sensing two opposing energies. We ground down into the earth’s stability and support while also rising up into a dignified, spacious presence.

Listen in a safe, quiet place where you can be relatively free from distraction. Practice with eyes opened or closed, in a posture that balances comfort with alertness. May this meditation be of benefit to you in your mindfulness journey.
