Touch the Earth, Remember Who You Are

“Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.” -Marcus Aurelius After soaring to the stars and seeing your life from above, today is about coming back down fully, gratefully, and awake. Grounding is about honoring our human experience, putting our feet on the earth, our hearts in the present moment, and our awareness anchored in what is real and near. Take a few slow, deep breaths. Feel the weight of your body supported by the ground beneath you. Touch the bark of a tree, feel the warmth of a cup of coffee, and the cool air on your skin. This is life, right here. Reflect on the insights gained from your cosmic view and bring them into the rhythm of your day. How can you act on the wisdom that only distance could reveal? Perhaps it’s forgiving someone, attending to a neglected task, or simply savoring the small, beautiful details of everyday life. Write about how it feels to re-enter your daily world with fresh eyes, lighter, humbler, and more present. The point of seeing from above is not to escape life, but to return to it more fully rooted, balanced, and aware of the preciousness of each moment.
