Feet on the Floor

About 1 minute

Choose this when…

You feel scattered, disconnected or caught in your thoughts.

Try this

  1. Sit or stand somewhere you feel supported.
  2. Notice where your feet meet the floor. Without forcing anything, gently press both feet down.
  3. Notice your heels, the balls of your feet and your toes.
  4. Ease the pressure, then gently press down again.
  5. Repeat a few times at your own pace. Let the floor do some of the holding.

Seated option

Remain seated with both feet supported. If your feet do not reach the floor comfortably, place them on a stable object or simply notice where your body meets the chair.

Notice

What changes when you feel the support underneath you?
