My body kept begging to be on my hands and knees and I learned long ago that when my body is begging for something that I should trust it. I rocked onto my hands and knees staring at the floor and taking deep breaths. I knew without even thinking about it that I was trying to ground myself. I was trying to find my body and ground into my body after coming out of a deep meditation with spirit. 

I use breathwork to connect me with source energy but I also use breathwork to connect me with my body. In this moment, I was connecting with my body as I gently came back from being with source energy after a deep and prolonged meditation.

I rocked forward and backwards, shifting my weight over my hands and then back over my knees. Then, from right to left and left to right and then slowly in circles with my whole body. I wasn’t thinking about the movements, I was just allowing my body to move and shift the way that it wanted to without judgment or questioning why. I trusted my body and I trusted that it was doing what it needed to do.

With each inhale and exhale I sank more deeply into my body and out of spirit. With every weight shift and rock of my body it was like my body was saying “hello, welcome back, I missed you”. I slipped down into child's pose and felt myself drop deeply into my body. As I shifted out of spirit I realized that I started to find myself back in mind also, thinking and processing and wondering things. I realized that my eyes had been very pointed in their gaze and recognized that it was just one of the ways that my body was helping me to ground back into my body. I blinked them a couple of times and softened my gaze while taking slow deep breaths. I rocked back onto my hands and knees and started to make circles with my neck, noticing the way that my hair felt as it followed the movement of my head. Little by little, I came back to my body and started to become fully aware of my body. It never fails to amaze me how deep meditation leaves me so disconnected from my physical body. I understand it fully, the deeper in spirit that I go with meditation the less in body I am and because spirit and body are on opposite sides of the wheel of the human body acts as the counterweight for spirit so the more grounded in body I am on a regular basis the deeper in spirit I am capable of going. 

I rocked back into a sitting position with my legs crossed and gave myself permission to just “be” for a couple of minutes before attempting to rejoin the business of my day and life.
