Roots, in botany, are the part of a vascular plant normally underground. Its primary functions are

To anchor of the plant
To aid in the absorption of water and minerals
To store a reserve of food.

Our practice serves much the same purpose. It anchors us to the present moment, it allows us to absorb the benefits of being present, non-judgmental and compassionate, and it prepares us to face difficult times with equanimity.

And, here is the vital element - we can access this wisdom just as we are. We are born with roots. Rootedness is innate to us.

Join me for today’s mini meditation as we practice accessing our roots.

These mini meditations are meant to support a daily home practice. Tune in every Monday to find your practice for the week! Full episodes are released every Thursday for a longer, deeper practice.
