Meditation Training Tip - Relax with the elevator metaphor
Try this: The elevator is an easy and famiiar metaphor to return to whenever you need to ground your energy. When you find yourself too “in your head” - your thoughts racing, too many things going on at once - use elevator meditation to bring your energy and attention out of your head and into your body. Imagine you are literally stepping into the elevator, the door closing on your thoughts and worries. Begin to breathe deeply and evenly. Continue to breathe like this and allow yourself to drop into your body and experience the present moment. When the doors open, you will feel refreshed, balanced, and grounded.
