Mindfulness and Meditations
🌿 Grounding Meditation (with a little help from Eros)
*This guided meditation was recorded during a quiet evening in my space—well, mostly quiet. Near the end, you may hear a small crash in the background. That’s Eros, my ever-curious boa, reminding us that grounding doesn’t always mean stillness. Sometimes it’s about staying centered even when the world (or your snake) decides to rearrange the room.
Take a few deep breaths, settle into the earth beneath you, and let this practice guide you back into calm presence—noise and all.
