So now let's begin by grounding,
Grounding into the earth by envisioning roots that travel from the very base of our spine,
Roots that travel through the chair or sofa or yoga mat or floorboards.
They travel down through the building,
The ground,
The soil,
The many many layers of earth,
Passing underground water systems,
Crystal caves,
And they reach the center of mother earth.
And here they wrap around the center,
Helping you feel grounded,
Safe,
And connected throughout this journey and relax.
Now imagine that you are in a beautiful meadow,
Soft green grass under your feet,
Blue skies above,
And one or two fluffy white clouds passing by.
The grass beneath you is sprinkled with many gorgeous flowers in different colors,
And as you breathe in you feel their scent,
Their beautiful scent that fills your nostrils.
Perhaps there are butterflies fluttering from flower to flower,
Beautiful dragonflies with glistening wings.
There are gentle large trees surrounding you,
Forming a protective semi-circle,
And their branches wave gently in the breeze.
The temperature is perfect,
Just to your liking,
And the sun is warming your skin and your heart,
And you see a path,
And you begin walking on this path towards a mountain in the distance.
You feel grounded,
Sure-footed,
Safe,
Connected,
And oh so comfortable.
And as you come closer to the mountain,
You see that there is an opening,
A cave,
Surrounded by beautiful vine and ivy,
And as you come closer you feel called to enter the cave.
There is a torch waiting by the side of the entrance,
And you grab this torch and enter the cave safely,
Feeling completely safe,
And knowing that you can always return whenever you wish to where you came from.
And as you lift the torch inside the cave,
You see that the cave is actually made from a giant cluster of crystals.
The entire wall,
All the walls of the cave are covered in crystals,
And so is the vault or the ceiling above you,
Glistening,
Glittering crystals,
Casting reflections,
And showing your smiling and marveled face on its many facets,
Crystal facets.
And you walk through the cave until you come to a clearing,
An opening,
And you realize that you are standing behind a waterfall.
You didn't hear it at first,
But now you hear the almost roaring sound,
And you stand behind this waterfall,
And you can peek out on the side and see that there is a pool filled with beautiful crystal clear water.
And above this pool there is no cave,
But it's open to the sky above,
And the sides of this opening are covered in crystals of different colors and shape,
All magnificent and glistening.
And there's ivy climbing on the sides,
Not the poisonous kind,
But the gentle green ivy that symbolizes eternal love and health.
And you stand behind the waterfall again and make yourself ready to stand in the water.
Take a step forward and let the water shower you,
And you realize that it's actually not cold,
It's almost tempered.
It's comfortable,
But also refreshing.
And as you stand here,
Fully able to breathe comfortably,
Yet still washed over by this clear,
Glittering,
Glistening water,
You allow yourself to be cleansed and cleared from any stagnant energy,
Anything that you wish to let go of,
Anything that no longer serves.
And the water carries it away to be blessed,
Processed,
And transmuted.
The water showers you entirely,
Cleanses you,
Refreshes you,
Blesses you with its freshness,
Crispness.
And you stand here and breathe and let the water cover you completely,
Save for your nostrils and mouth,
And anything and everything that no longer serves,
Whether that is old habits and beliefs,
Limiting beliefs,
Negative self-talk,
Winter,
Anxiety,
Frustration,
Anything that has kept you from shining your light and standing in your full expression and essence,
It is now rinsed off of you,
Collected into the pool and transmuted,
And blessed,
And turned into new energy,
Life force energy for all your dreams and manifestations ahead.
And now you enter the pool in front of the waterfall,
And perhaps you swim around here for a little bit.
The water is safe and shallow enough for you to stand in it.
The water reaches your armpits or slightly below your armpits.
And perhaps you play around in the water or just swim a little bit or float,
Marveling at this beautiful waterfall.
And perhaps you're floating on your back,
Looking up at the sky,
The crystal-covered walls of the cave,
The ivy that symbolizes love and health,
Vitality and longevity.
And you feel so refreshed,
So at ease.
And perhaps you cover yourself completely with the water,
Dive under for a little bit,
And then only to burst up through the level,
The surface of the water,
Shake your head and come out of the come out of the pool and walk back into the cave where your torch is waiting in a holder.
And there's a warm,
Cozy,
Fluffy bathrobe and perhaps a towel for your hair.
And you put on the robe and wrap the towel around your head if you wish and grab the torch.
And again,
Marvel at the beauty of this cave.
And before you exit the cave completely,
Take a look around and know that you can return to this place,
To this waterfall whenever you need.
It is always there for you,
Always there for you,
Waiting,
Assisting you each and every time you're in need of an energetic cleanse.
And you walk back on the path from the opening of the cave towards the meadow,
Feeling oh so refreshed and cleared and cleansed and renewed.
And you come back to the meadow,
Surrounded by the many beautiful flowers and the butterflies,
The trees holding space for you,
The warming sun magically having dried up your wet hair and clothes until you are completely dry and comfortable again.
And the white fluffy clouds glide,
The blue skies above,
The birds are singing in the treetops,
And your heart is lighter,
Brighter,
More open somehow.
And while you thank Mother Earth for having held you grounded and safe during this meditation journey,
You call back your roots and let them travel up all the many layers,
Passing underground crystal caves and water systems and many,
Many,
Many layers of sediments and rock until they reach the soil,
The ground,
The building,
The floorboards,
The furniture that you sit or lie on.
And your roots are now back in the base of your spine.
And you can begin gently waking up by moving your toes and fingers,
Forming circles with your ankles and wrists,
Lifting your shoulders up to your ears and release.
Another time up to your ears and hold it,
Hold it,
And relax.
And one more time,
Shoulders up to your ears,
Hold it,
And relax.
And in your own time,
Flutter your eyes open and welcome back.
