Affirmation: I am grounded and centered with love for Mother Earth.  I move forward on my journey with calm, balanced energy. I touch the ground with full awareness in each step I take.

Have you ever done a walking meditation? The first time I did one I was on a retreat hiking in Big Sur, CA. It really taught me to be in the present moment and aware of the ground beneath me in every step I took; because as you take each step you stay conscious of your feet, and ensure that every part of your foot meets the ground.

When we walk we are fully supported by the ground beneath us. It hugs our feet in every step we take. I think very often a lot of us take this for granted. Its good to notice how supported we are by Mother Earth. I find doing this exercise helps remind and wake me up to my connection with Gaia. I also notice I am more gentle with each of my steps, and it seems to reflect a calmer, more gentle me.

Take some time today to pay attention to each step you take. Do a walking meditation and see what it leads you to discover.  Remember to stay conscious and breathe. As you take each step be sure each part of your foot touches the ground.
