Beautiful Cybele, such a good reminder of presence and connection via grounding with the Earth. This ties to a book I'm currently reading by Thich Nhat Hahn "The Miracle of Mindfulness: An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation". Also I love the Iva Morris painting that goes with. I checked out her work online, stunning!

Thich Nhat Hahn is always excellent company to keep! The walking meditation is always with me. With every step, we step into the present moment. Three times around the home, each time more slowly, syncing breaths with steps, soft focusing, barefoot if possible. Full contact with the ground, the floor, the seat of Psyche. Grounding ~ connecting into the circuit, the grid. Allowing the entire energy of the Earth to flow through you. Unharmed, wielding, being wielded by the torrentuous flow, somehow peaceful in its ferocity.

So glad you enjoy Iva Morris. I'm not sure how I found her, but I feel personally connected to her storm pastels. Electrifying!
