Rootedness is about finding the right kind of relaxation in meditation. An interpenetration of sensitization and stabilization so you can optimally flow in any situation — especially dialogically. It's about finding the optimal grip between yin and yang.
- Imagine something like a balloon in the space above your head.
- Inhale and imagine the balloon expanding in all directions. Yang.
- Exhale and it gathers back. Yin.
- Do this until you find the spot for you that is in-between.
- Allow it to drain or melt into your forehead. Third eye.
- Repeat for the throat, then the heart, solar plexus, belly, your seat, and finally let it sink into the earth below you.
- Imagine it like the roots of a tree, connecting and stabilizing you downward, but also nourishing, energizing, and sensitizing you upward so you are sitting, rooted, as still as a mountain but alert as a warrior.
