You have arrived on a sacred planet.
You are now joining a sacred circle,
A space beyond time,
A space of remembering.
This meditation is a return,
A return to Earth,
A return to this your planet,
A return to knowing you belong here.
Let yourself settle now,
Seated or laying down.
Let your body be held by the Earth beneath you.
There is only this moment,
This breath.
There is only one planet Earth.
She is not a resource.
She is not a commodity.
She is your mother.
Welcome beloved souls to this meditation.
There is only one planet Earth.
So breathe in the air she provides you.
With every inhale,
Draw in her life force.
With every exhale,
Offer your gratitude.
Let the rhythm of your breath merge with the breath of the trees,
Of the oceans,
Of all living things.
Your body is made of her minerals,
Her water,
Her fire,
Her air.
Your spirit was formed under her stars.
You are the Earth,
Remembering herself.
Let the ancestors gather now,
The stone people,
The water spirits,
The grandmothers and the grandfathers who walked barefoot and bowed to the morning sun.
You are their child,
And today they welcome you home.
Inhale deeply through your nose,
And exhale softly through your mouth.
Let each breath lengthen,
Each breath expand.
Slow down.
Inhale like the rising of the mist over the mountains,
And exhale like the whispers of the tide returning to the shore.
With each breath,
You are exchanging life with the trees,
The soil,
The mycelium beneath your feet.
Breathe in life,
And breathe out gratitude.
With each breath,
Imagine the ancient forests are breathing with you,
The oceans expanding and contracting with your lungs,
The animals,
Plants and unseen spirits all participating in this sacred rhythm.
Repeat silently,
I breathe with the Earth.
I belong to this rhythm.
I am connected to all life.
Feel the rhythm of your breath soften your nervous system.
Feel your heartbeat aligning with the heartbeat of Gaia.
She breathes through you.
She lives in you.
And with every breath,
You remember that you are home.
Bringing your awareness to your feet,
Feel them grounded,
Rooted,
Alive.
Imagine them growing deep into the soil,
Like the roots of ancient trees.
They drink in the stability of stones and memory of Earth.
Your attention to your legs,
Feel them strong like mountains,
Holding centuries of stillness.
You are supported,
You are solid,
You are sculptured by time and endurance.
Your awareness to your hips and pelvis,
The valleys of creation,
Cradle of life.
Here lies your connection to flow,
To birth,
To becoming.
Breathe into this space,
Let it widen.
Now your belly,
A sacred river,
Your center of intuition,
Hear the water flows as emotions flow.
Let your breath rise and fall like a gentle tide.
Bring your awareness to your chest.
Your heart is an ocean,
Vast,
Deep,
Mysterious and powerful.
Let the waves of compassion swell and move through your ribs.
Place your hand on your heart and feel it beating within,
Just like the Earth pulses beneath us.
Ancient rhythms,
Your shoulders heavy with all that you carry.
Release now,
Let them drop,
Let the winds of change move through you.
Your throat,
A clear sky for your truth,
Let the winds of expression move freely here.
No need to hold back,
You are safe to speak your soul's desires.
Awareness to your face,
Your eyes,
Your third eye.
The wisdom of the sky lives here.
The inner stars,
The vastness,
The knowing beyond knowing.
And now to your crown,
Feel it gently open.
Receiving light from above,
Stardust from the cosmos.
Let it flow through you and down into the Earth.
Your whole body a temple,
A reflection of Earth herself.
You are Earth,
You are spirit,
You are the meeting point of heaven and soil.
Now in your mind,
Begin to see yourself standing barefoot upon sacred ground.
Where are you?
A mossy forest?
A windswept desert?
A golden plain beneath vast skies?
Let the landscape form around you,
Let it welcome you.
Feel the warmth of the Earth under your feet.
Soft,
Alive,
Breathing.
From your soles,
Feel roots growing,
Reaching deep down.
Through the layers of the soil and clay.
Through the bones of your ancestors.
All the way to the Earth's molten core.
The red hot womb of Gaia.
From this core,
A golden light begins to rise.
It spirals up through your roots.
Up your legs,
Into your belly,
Your heart,
Your throat,
To your crown.
You are a conduit.
You are a bridge.
Now call in the five elements.
Earth,
Feel it in your bones,
Solid,
Ancient,
Trustworthy.
Water,
Feel it in your belly,
Floating,
Cleansing,
Adaptable.
Fire,
Feel it in your chest,
Alive,
Passionate,
Transforming.
Air,
Feel it in your throat and breath,
Clear,
Expansive,
Free.
Ether,
Feel it above your crown,
Connecting,
Timeless,
Divine.
All the Earth's wisdom lives within you.
And now they come,
The spirit beings of Earth.
The tree elders.
The winged ones.
The stone keepers.
The water dragons.
The fire grandmothers.
The ancestors of the land you stand on.
They circle you in blessing.
You may feel tingles,
Warmth.
You may feel a shift in energy as they whisper.
Child of the Earth,
You are sacred.
You are needed.
Remember who you are.
Let their love fill you.
Let their presence ground you.
Stand in this circle.
Rooted,
Empowered,
Remembered.
Now you are seated beside an inner fire.
Reflect gently.
What has the Earth given you?
Air to breathe.
Water to drink.
Food to sustain you.
Beauty to nourish your soul.
And what can you give in return?
It may be a change of how you live.
A choice to tread more gently.
A vow to protect.
A prayer whispered daily.
Let your heart speak now.
Let your soul offer its promise.
There is no shame here.
Only remembering.
Only returning.
Whisper gently.
I walk with care.
I walk with awareness.
I walk in love.
I walk as a protector,
Not consumer.
Earth does not ask us to be perfect.
She asks us to be present.
To see her.
To feel her.
To walk with reverence.
Let this fire burn in your chest.
A flame of responsibility.
A torch of devotion.
Let her guide your way.
Feel and repeat each of these affirmations.
I am one with the earth.
The earth is sacred and so am I.
I walk gently with gratitude and care.
I protect what I love.
This beautiful planet.
My choices ripple like waves across the earth.
There is only one planet.
I honor her with my life.
I am earth's child and guardian.
My presence is my offering.
I am part of the healing.
I remember and I return.
I walk as prayer.
I breathe as blessing.
I act as love.
My roots are deep and wise.
I am here to remember earth's song.
Let all these words integrate.
Let them grow root within you.
Beginning to return now.
Wiggle your toes.
Perhaps move your fingers.
Feel your body grounded,
Present and alive.
This circle remains in your heart,
In your breath,
In your walk.
Bow within to the earth,
To the sky,
To your ancestors and to yourself.
And say one final blessing aloud or within.
Thank you mother earth.
I remember.
I honor.
I walk with you.
I am your voice.
I am your hands.
I am your child.
Take a deep breath in of gratitude.
And as you exhale,
Send it as an offering to mother earth.
You are part of the sacred web of life.
And the earth smiles because you remember.
Opening your eyes or stay resting.
There is only one planet earth.
Today and every day choose to love her.
Blessings to you dear soul on your life here on planet earth.
Namaste.
