To begin this meditation session about Earth and Mother Earth,
Find a comfortable place to sit or to lie in.
Feeling into the support of the cushions or the earth beneath you.
With minimal distractions.
And feel into the quietness within you.
Once you have found this comfortable place,
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
And take a deep breath in and breathe out.
Focus on the sound of your breath.
And any bodily sensations of breathing.
As you continue to inhale and exhale slowly following your own pace of breath today.
Mother Earth or Mother Nature?
Has always been a powerful,
Nurturing,
Healing and grounding source of energy.
We'll get to connect with this loving and protective energy today through this meditation.
Begin by imagining yourself.
Standing.
In an open field.
Surrounded by nature.
Feeling into the warmth of the sun on your skin.
The gentle breeze on your face.
And the soft,
Supportive earth beneath your feet.
And as you observe the different sensations your body is experiencing in this moment,
Connecting with the surrounding.
Feeling into the gratitude for her support and the life that she gives.
And as you continue standing in this open field visualize the roots of a tree.
Extending out from the soles of your feet now.
Entering into the core of the earth.
Below you.
And as you visualize these roots,
Growing out extending from beneath you They symbolize your connection.
To Mother Earth.
Anchoring you to her energy.
Providing stability to you.
Into these strong roots growing more and more deeper and wider into the earth with each breath you take.
Reaching out in all directions.
Creating an extensive root system.
That connects you to the surrounding soil.
And the power of the earth.
Continue observing your surroundings.
As you Inhale and exhale at your own pace.
Now imagine a ray of light It could be from the sun or another source that you prefer.
Light of a color that is healing to you coming down from above.
The sky.
Entering through the top of your head.
This radiant light.
With the color of your choosing represents the energy of the cosmos of this universe.
Filling your entire body with warmth and life.
Visualize now this light traveling down your body from the crown of your head.
To the base.
Of your spine.
And the warmth of this body.
Radiates throughout your entire being.
Further grounding you and connecting.
You to the Earth's energy.
As you observe this feeling of the electric flow of energy coursing through.
Your body from the bottom of your feet.
Into the legs,
Into the seat muscles.
Maybe into your torso and back.
And into the leafy branches of your own.
Energy system.
Continue taking your breaths at your own pace.
Focusing on the connection between how your body is right now and the earth.
In which your feet is connected to.
The energy from Mother Earth rises through the soles of your feet,
Into your legs,
Into your seat muscles,
Then up through the back.
Filling your entire body with warmth,
Strength and life.
Continue observing this energy flowing freely.
And as you inhale,
Breathe in.
This energy.
And as you exhale,
Imagine releasing any feelings of anxiety or restlessness.
And as you breathe in,
Bringing in calm and centeredness.
The mingling of energy happening within you now.
Between you and the earth.
And the Universe.
Creating a perfect balance of expanding groundedness.
This energy now expanding from out of your body,
Radiating creating this protective bubble.
Of radiant light.
Surrounding you and your entire being.
Visualize this light shield is protecting you from external negativity or straws.
Helping you maintain this connection to the earth.
Rooting in the present moment.
Even in the face of all of life's challenges.
Continue observing.
Where you are.
Drawing your awareness from what you see to what you hear.
Which you can sense on the surface of your skin.
And as you bring awareness back to your body now.
With the most gentle non-judgmental gays.
Moment.
And gently scan.
Your body from the top of your head all the way down and through your fingers and toes and your feet.
Notice if any areas of your precious body still holds any tension or discomfort.
With your next inhale,
Fully notice these feelings.
And as you exhale,
Imagine releasing all of that tension.
Allowing it to be absorbed by Mother Earth out through the bottoms of your feet.
And with each inhale now,
Drawing in a warm,
Nurturing energy of Mother Earth.
Replenishing your body and your soul.
Continue to breathe in.
And breathe out.
Noticing.
The revitalizing effects.
That Mother Earth has on you.
Perhaps a sense of calm.
Balance,
Groundedness starts to sink in.
Notice now.
The further sense of relaxation and ease.
That your body gets to experience.
And as you breathe in the next inhale,
And exhale.
Gently bring your awareness back.
To your physical body in the present moment.
When you're ready and only when you're ready.
Gently wiggle any fingers or toes.
Maybe you roll the wrists and the ankles of your precious body.
Avoiding any gentle movement that feels appropriate to you right now.
As you slowly open your eyes Allowing further light to enter.
Into the body.
Continuing to let your breath come into its natural rhythm.
And making contact with the environment around you.
Thank you for experiencing this Mother Earth grounding meditation with me today.
Hope you have a wonderful rest of the day.
