Close your eyes,
Sit comfortably,
Breathe deeply and slowly.
Simply instruct your body to relax,
Becoming more and more comfortable exactly where you are.
Imagine that you are a great tree,
Perhaps oak,
Pine,
Cedar,
Any kind you can imagine.
From the base of your spine,
Imagine there is a great root growing down into the earth.
Place your consciousness into this root and feel yourself growing down,
Deeper and deeper.
Down through the various levels and layers of soil and sand.
And just as the root is aware of the nurturing earth life force,
You go deeper and deeper into the earth,
Allowing yourself to become aware of this life force of earth.
This is the same life force which flows through all living things.
Through the grass,
The trees,
The bushes,
The fish,
The birds,
All the animals.
Now allow yourself to become connected to all living things.
Going even deeper,
Be aware that the earth itself is a living being.
The earth is alive.
She is known as Gaia,
The earth mother.
Going even deeper and deeper,
You encounter the bedrock,
An ancient layer of rock,
Millions and millions of years old.
This ancient rock is filled with peace and wisdom.
Finding a crack in the bedrock,
You enter the bedrock itself and once there,
You encounter an underground stream,
A stream of life force.
Now allow yourself to plunge into this stream of life.
Imagine you can feel it swirling and flowing all around you and even passing right through you,
Nourishing,
Clearing and cleansing you.
As this happens,
Allow yourself to release,
To let go now.
Letting go of all negative thoughts,
Allow them to be washed away.
Letting go now of any negative feelings,
Allow them to be cleansed and cleared away in this healing underground stream,
Allowing yourself to become purified and cleansed.
Let go of all fear,
Even letting go of unconscious fear,
Fear you're not even aware of.
Allow it to be washed away now.
Allow everything that might be restrictive or that might block you,
Wash away.
Allow all less than desirable energies to be washed away now completely.
As you become purified,
Allow your consciousness to attune to the positive qualities of this life force.
Be aware of the joy,
The joy of being alive.
Become aware of the wisdom,
The peace,
The vitality,
The love.
Allow this into your consciousness.
Allow yourself to merge with this life force and to take these positive qualities and send them up to your root,
All the way up to the base of your spine.
Now imagine you can see and feel a sort of warmth rising up through your back as this life force flows up through your internal organs.
Allow all physical tension to melt and flow away.
Imagine the life force flowing up into the shoulders,
Allowing them to relax.
Then the neck,
The back of the head,
The top,
And down the front of the body.
Through the eyes,
Relaxing all of the facial muscles,
The jaw,
The front of the neck,
Through the chest,
Relaxing and releasing all the muscles and tensions here so the lungs can breathe deeper,
Bringing in more life-affirming oxygen.
Allow this life force to flow to the solar plexus,
Down through the abdomen,
Into the legs and out the bottoms of the feet,
And back down into the earth.
Just take a moment now to be with this flow of life.
Feel the energy flowing through you.
Be aware of how freely and easily it is given to you.
How connected you are to the earth.
How connected you are to all living things.
Feel a sense of being grounded,
Connected with the earth.
Now bring this earth life force back up to your heart center.
Imagine the life force flowing and swirling all around the heart.
Allow yourself to feel a sense of peace,
Of security,
Of acceptance within your heart.
Imagine the heart opening just like the petals of a beautiful flower,
Opening to receive the rays of sunshine,
Opening to display your beauty,
Opening to receive love,
Opening to give love to others.
Being in your heart now,
Imagine you can look up and through the top of your head,
And look up through the roof of the building,
And you can see into the sky.
Just imagine your spirit soaring up higher and higher into the sky.
Looking down on the earth,
You can see the cities,
The roads,
The rivers,
The trees.
Going up,
Going higher and higher.
Leaving the atmosphere of the earth,
You can actually see the stars appear.
Now soaring past the moon,
Past the planets,
Observe their balance and their beauty.
And soaring further,
Leaving the solar system,
You go further and further and further.
Looking back,
You find that the sun is so very far away.
It is no larger than any other star.
Continuing to travel,
You reach a place that feels as though it is the center of the universe.
Be here now at the center of the universe.
Imagine looking around at the stars and the galaxies.
And as you are there now,
At the creation of the universe,
Imagine your consciousness beginning to expand.
Expanding larger and larger and larger until you actually begin to touch each of the stars.
You can feel their life,
Their energy,
The creativity of each of the stars of the universe.
And now,
Expanding farther and farther,
You take in more and more of the universe,
Until finally you come to a point where it feels like you have expanded to the ends of the universe,
So that your consciousness encompasses all that exists.
And there is a sense of fulfillment,
Completion,
And oneness.
With this comes a knowing,
The knowing of oneness with all that exists.
It enters your heart,
And you have become a beam of light.
You are a beam of light,
And you are shining joy back through the stars and planets.
You are dancing and singing with joy.
And now,
Bring your awareness back,
Past the planets of the solar system.
Bring yourself back through the atmosphere of the earth,
And then come back down through the roof of the building,
And through the top of your head,
Back into your heart.
And you bring with you the energy of the universe,
God Consciousness.
This beautiful energy mixes with the energies of the earth that you have already stored in your heart space.
So the female energies of the earth mix with the male energies from above,
And together they create a wonderful harmony.
Your peace and balance within you swirls around inside of you,
Fills your entire being,
And then expands into the space around you,
Filling your entire aura.
Use this expanded consciousness to realize that we are all one,
Created from the same source,
Birthed from our Earth Mother.
Take this moment now to forgive.
Bring into your mind someone who you feel has wronged you,
Who has hurt you intentionally or unconsciously,
And imagine that they are sitting in front of you.
Bring this heart energy into their heart,
Finally forgiving them of all wrongdoings.
This action of forgiveness does not condone the hurtful actions.
Forgiveness serves to release you from the chains and weight of resentment,
Releasing this toxic energetic poison,
Freeing you from this karmic bond.
Let them go fully from your field now,
Releasing your energy for greater use.
Shine this blended energy of heaven and earth from within your heart space,
Cleansing the old wounds,
Healing and blessing.
Take a moment more to have gratitude for yourself,
For loving yourself enough to forgive and to let go of the old.
Forget all that you have done and all that you have yet to do.
Allow this energy of forgiveness to heal each and every cell of your body.
When you are ready,
Slowly become aware of your surroundings,
Noticing the calmness of your breath,
The relaxed state of your body,
Feeling the openness of your heart center.
Gently stretch and move your body,
Returning fully present into the here and now,
Knowing that the blended heaven and earth energies flowing from you continue to radiate from your heart space and through your auric field,
Bringing blessings to all.
