Welcome,
And thank you for joining me in this guided meditation.
My name is Tia Monet,
And today we will be focusing on aligning and strengthening our root chakra,
The center of stability,
Security,
And grounding.
This practice will help us release feelings of instability and connect deeply with the Earth's supportive energy.
It will also help strengthen our sense of safety and belonging.
Let's begin by grounding ourselves with a breathing exercise to prepare the mind and body.
First,
Let's take a deep breath in for a count of four.
Hold your breath for a count of four.
Slowly exhale for a count of four.
Pause at the bottom of the breath for a count of four.
Repeat this cycle slowly on your own two more times,
Allowing each breath to bring calmness and focus as you prepare to connect with your foundation.
Now,
Bring yourself into a comfortable position,
Maybe by lying down on your back or sitting upright,
Whichever feels best in this moment.
Let your arms rest by your sides,
With your palms facing up,
And slowly close your eyes and bring your attention to your breath.
Take a deep,
Slow breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs completely,
And gently exhale through your mouth.
With each breath,
Feel yourself becoming more relaxed,
Allowing your body to sink deeply into the surface beneath you.
Bring your awareness to the ground,
Supporting you.
Imagine that with each inhale,
You are receiving grounding energy from the earth.
With each exhale,
Release tension,
Stress,
Or discomfort.
Feel the earth fully supporting you,
Creating a stable foundation beneath you.
Perhaps your intention is to strengthen your connection to your root chakra,
To feel grounded,
Or to embrace stability in your life.
Silently affirm your intentions now.
Breathe in your intentions deeply,
And as you exhale,
Feel it expanded to the space around you,
Supporting you throughout this meditation.
Now,
Let's bring our awareness to the base of our spine,
The location of our root chakra.
If your root chakra is blocked,
You may feel disconnected,
Insecurities,
Or you may even feel like your life lacks a solid foundation.
Maybe you've experienced financial stress,
Uncertainty about your future,
Or difficulty feeling a sense of stability in your everyday life.
Let's take a moment to create a healing visualization grounded in the reality of your day-to-day experiences.
Imagine yourself standing in your home,
A place where you spend much of your time.
As you look around,
You notice the familiar objects that bring you comfort.
A favorite chair,
The warmth of your kitchen,
Or even the sound of your own breathing in this space.
Feel the floor beneath your feet,
Solid and steady,
Reminding you that this is the place where you belong.
Now,
Picture an area in your life where you felt unsteady,
Perhaps worrying about paying bills,
Facing uncertainty in a relationship,
Or feeling unsure about your path.
Let these concerns rise to the surface for a moment,
But instead of holding onto them,
Visualize placing them into a sturdy container nearby.
This container is large enough to hold all of your worries,
And as you place them inside,
Feel their weight lift off your shoulders.
Next,
Imagine sitting down in your home,
Wrapping yourself in a soft,
Warm blanket,
Feeling the sensation of being grounded and secure.
The container holding your worries is there,
But now you see it glowing gently with the red light representing your root chakra's healing energy.
This light begins to expand outward,
Filling the room and enveloping you with a sense of safety and stability.
As you breathe deeply,
Picture yourself handling your everyday challenges with grace and trust.
Imagine paying your bills effortlessly,
Or even walking confidently into uncertain situations,
Trusting that your needs will always be met.
Repeat to yourself,
I am safe in my body and my space.
I am fully supported by the foundation I've built.
I have everything I need and I trust the universe to provide.
Feel a deep connection to your daily life and the grounding energy it offers.
Trust that the stability you seek is already within you,
Waiting to be nurtured and supported.
Take this time to sit in stillness,
Allowing the energy of the affirmations to settle within you.
Breathe deeply and allow your connection to the earth to deepen further.
As we close out this meditation,
Gently return your awareness to your breath.
Take a deep inhale in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Begin to notice the ground beneath you once more,
Feeling its support and stability.
Thank yourself for taking this time to nurture your foundation and strengthen your connection to your root chakra.
Set an intention to carry this grounding energy with you throughout your day.
When you're ready,
Wiggle your fingers and your toes,
Gently reawakening your body.
Slowly open your eyes and return to the present moment,
Carrying with you the stability and balance cultivated in this practice.
Thank you for sharing this practice with me,
Ashe.
