Welcome to the grounding and centering meditation.
This meditation is to establish a deep connection with earth energy for stability during healing work.
Find a comfortable position either sitting or lying down.
Allow your body to be supported by the surface beneath you.
Close your eyes and take three deep cleansing breaths.
With each exhale,
Release any tension,
Any concerns,
Anything that doesn't serve you in this moment.
This is your time to ground.
To center,
To prepare for whatever healing you will offer or receive today.
Begin by bringing your awareness to your physical body.
Feel the weight of your body,
The points of contact with the floor or chair.
The air on your skin.
The subtle rhythm of your breath moving in and out without effort.
Now bring your attention to the base of your spine,
To your root center.
Imagine a cord of brilliant warm light extending downward from this point.
Imagine a cord of brilliant warm light extending downward from this point.
See this cord.
It can be gold,
Ruby red,
Or pure white.
Moving down through the floor,
Through the foundation of the building,
Through the soil beneath.
Watch as this cord continues deeper,
Passing through layers of earth,
Through rocks and minerals,
Through ancient roots and underground streams.
Feel it moving steadily downward,
Drawn by the magnetic pull of the earth's very core.
And now your grounding cord reaches the heart of Mother Earth.
Imagine a vast chamber of crystalline light and unconditional love.
Feel your cord connect with this core.
Feel your cord connect with this source,
Anchoring securely like the roots of an ancient tree.
As you breathe in,
Imagine drawing this beautiful earth energy up through your cord.
Feel it rising,
Cool,
Stable.
Moving up through the soil,
Through the foundation,
Through the floor,
And finally entering the base of your spine.
With each inhale,
Draw this grounding energy higher.
Feel it moving up through your legs,
Right into your root chakra.
Let it fill your pelvis,
Your lower back,
Your digestive organs.
Feel the stability,
The safety,
The knowing that you are held by the earth herself.
As this energy continues to rise,
Imagine it meeting any places of tension or stagnation within you.
Gently dissolving them,
Carrying them back down through your grounding cord to be transmuted by the earth.
Now expand your awareness to your grounding cord once more.
Notice how it not only draws energy up,
But also allows anything excess or unneeded to flow downward,
Releasing energies,
Other energies you may have picked up,
Your own worries or concerns,
Or those of others.
Watch them travel down your cord,
Released completely to the earth's loving transformation.
Feel how present you are now,
How solid,
How rooted.
Like a great tree,
You are stable and unmovable,
Yet flexible enough to bend with any wind.
From this place of deep grounding,
You can offer healing without losing yourself.
You can hold space without becoming depleted.
Take a moment to affirm silently,
I am deeply grounded.
I am safe.
I am held.
From this foundation,
I can offer my gifts freely.
Slowly,
Gently,
Begin to bring your awareness back to your physical body.
Feel your grounding cord remaining in place,
Still connected,
Still supporting you.
Move your shoulders a little bit.
Roll them back.
Wiggle your jaw,
Your fingers,
Your toes.
And when you feel ready,
Take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Gently open your eyes,
Bringing this grounded presence with you into your day.
