A SIMPLE PRACTICE FOR BUSY OR
OVERWHELMING MOMENTS
Sometimes the most useful thing we can do is stop for a moment.
Not to solve everything. Not to force ourselves into a different state. Simply to notice where we are, reconnect with the body and create a little more space around whatever is happening.
The Grounding Ritual is a short practice you can return to whenever you need that pause. You might use the ritual: before beginning a busy day, between meetings or responsibilities, when your thoughts feel crowded, after a difficult conversation, when you have been focused on everyone else, before making a decision, at the end of the day as a way of slowing down.
There is nothing you have to achieve through the practice. Its purpose is simply to help you pause, notice and reconnect with the present moment.

HOW TO USE THE RITUAL
Find somewhere you can sit or stand comfortably for a few minutes.
You can listen to the guided audio, follow the written practice, or simply use the basic rhythm of breathing, noticing and reconnecting with your surroundings.
There is no need to force your breathing or try to create a particular feeling. If you become uncomfortable, simply stop and return to normal breathing.
The practice can be repeated whenever it feels useful.
A NOTE FROM DIANA
I created this practice as a simple way of returning attention to the present moment.
Much of my work explores self-knowledge, authenticity and the relationship between what we understand intellectually and what we actually experience in the body and in everyday life.
Sometimes a few quiet minutes are enough to help us notice ourselves again.
I hope this gives you one small place to begin.
