This meditation aims to cultivate a deep sense of presence and grounding, aligning with the core message of Four Thousand Weeks to live fully in the moment.
Meditation:
Focus your attention on your root chakra, visualizing it as a glowing red stone. Imagine roots extending from this stone, anchoring you deeply into the earth.
Repeat the affirmation, "I give myself permission to slow down." With each inhale, imagine yourself drawing in the energy of the present moment. With each exhale, release any thoughts about the past or future.
Continue to breathe deeply, feeling the weight of your body on the ground. Let go of any tension or stress. Allow yourself to be completely absorbed by the present experience.
