3 G's- Grounded Greeted Gathered-Part 1

Grounded, Greeted, Gathered: An IFS-Informed Meditation for Feeling Held What happens when we allow ourselves to be grounded, greeted and gathered? In this gentle IFS-informed meditation, we explore three simple invitations for coming home to ourselves: 🌿 Grounded — allowing the earth to support us, feeling the weight of the body and sensing our connection with something beneath us. 💛 Greeted — turning towards our inner parts with curiosity and welcome. Whatever is here, whatever we are carrying, can be met with the simple recognition: “You’re here. You’re really here.” 🤲 Gathered — experiencing the stillness and sense of being held that can arise when we allow ourselves to be gathered into something larger than ourselves, while remaining deeply connected to our own inner experience. Inspired by the writings and teachings of Richard Rohr and Dorothy Hunt, and drawing on the wisdom of Quaker “gathered meeting”, this meditation offers a space to slow down, listen inwardly and notice what your system needs. There is nothing you need to fix or achieve. Simply become curious about what happens when you offer your system these three words: Grounded. Greeted. Gathered.
