Awareness of the soles of the feet

Awareness of the soles of the feet is feeling the contact of the feet with the ground. Bringing attention to the soles and noticing the weight, warmth, and texture of the footing connects a person to the body and the ground. This contact is one of the most concrete forms of grounding. Feeling the feet on the ground often gives a sense of safety and solidity. This bond with the ground anchors the body in the present moment.
