Rooted: A Grounding Journey Back To Your Body

An invitation to slow down, feel what is here, and return to the steady ground of your body.

Guided by the steady rhythm of the drum, you'll begin by noticing the sensations already present within you, allowing the beat to meet areas of tension or discomfort without needing to change or push them away.
From there, you'll travel downward through your roots and into your Earth Star, a point of connection with the Earth, where you can anchor into a deeper sense of steadiness and support.

As that grounded energy moves back through your body, you're invited to feel yourself here: present, connected, supported and at home within yourself.

Return to this journey whenever you feel scattered, disconnected, unsettled, or simply need to find your ground again.

Welcome. I am Jen with Soul Forge Rituals. Welcome to this journey. To return to your center and ground. Into your inner steadiness. Home. Allow yourself. To just be present here in the moment. Finding a comfortable seat, Maybe removing the flesh from under your bum. Or lying down on the ground and allowing yourself to feel the weight with whatever part of you is contacting the earth. Let yourself feel. Any pressure that you're experiencing in your body. Feel that contact with the earth. And breathing in, Noticing where your breath is going. Is it going in your chest? Is it going to your belly? Just noticing. No need to change or shift the breath. Allowing yourself. To just notice any sensations that you're experiencing in your body as you begin to come to a resting place. Breathing in presence. Exhaling the stress of the day. Breathing in. And allowing yourself, Giving yourself permission to be here now. To have this experience. And on your next exhale. Letting a sigh go, Letting those shoulders drop, Maybe giving them a little wiggle or shake. Adjusting in any way that will make your body feel more comfortable. Now beginning to breathe in through the nose, Out through the nose. And bringing that breath into your belly if it's comfortable for you. Allowing your belly to expand on the inhale. And drawing towards the spine on the exhale. Allowing your breath to be a gentle guide through this experience. Breathing in and allowing the drum beat. To soften. Your body. To allow the stress to begin to unwind from any muscles or tissues. Allowing any tension to begin to dissolve. If you're wearing your Shoulders as earrings, Allowing those shoulders to come down. Letting the weight be in the elbows if you're seated. Hands open on the legs. Noticing the subtle shift that happens in the body. And now breathing. In through the nose Bringing that breath down through the throat and into the heart space. Notice any place where you're trying to protect.

Moving down into the seat on your next breath, Breathing down into that root chakra. Into the pelvis, The hips. The legs. Noticing any place that feels tight. Where there's tension or discord. And if you get to, Just maybe shifting your weight up subtly. To give permission to your body to release any tension here. Now with your next couple of breaths, Just noticing any place where the body feels tight or tense or stressed. Noticing any place where there's any kind of sensation flowing through your body. Maybe it's tingling. Maybe it's heaviness. Letting the drumbeat come into that place, Letting it move down through your ears and into this place while also bringing your next inhale to these places. It's no accident that these particular places in your body are calling for your attention. Letting the drum beat begin to soften this area five more percent. Bringing another breath into this area. And allowing yourself to soften completely. Your next breath, Breathing down, Down, Down, Down past your root chakra, Down out through the soles of the feet. And down into the earth.

This Earth Star anchors our energy and supports us in feeling stable and steady in our lived experiences. And so just noticing what you're noticing.
