Thanks for tuning in to this meditation for grounding and stability. We'll be using the imagery and language of the traditional chakra system, But if this is new to you, Just know there's no special belief system required to benefit. If you hear the phrase root chakra, You can simply think of the part of you that is connected to the foundational energy of the earth and the elements. Just follow the cues and if a term or image ever feels unfamiliar, Just connect to a sensation or experience in your own physical body and use that as your anchor. Let's get started. Allow your eyes to gently close if that's safe for you today and focus your attention on your breath. Noticing the natural rhythm and flow of your breathing just as it is right now. Noticing your chest gently rise and fall with each breath. Maybe some movement in your belly with each inhale and exhale. Continue to focus on the breath, Just releasing and relaxing. If you find your mind wandering to other thoughts or sensations, Gently remind yourself to return back to the simple sensation of your breath. With each inhale you allow the breath to fill your lungs and with each exhale they gently release and empty. Continue to release as naturally as possible, Not forcing anything, Not altering or controlling anything, Allowing the body's natural rhythm and breath to guide you. But now we will take three intentional deep breaths with a very brief breath hold at the top of each one. With each hold we'll focus our awareness on a specific part of the body, Imagining a sphere of energy containing the breath there. For our first breath in, For example, We'll focus the breath hold on the area around our throat, Our throat chakra. So let's take this first inhale into the nose in three, Two, One, Inhale. And at the very top hold your breath in a sphere of energy right there at the throat. Continue to hold, Noticing the sensations, Notice any thoughts or feelings or images that arise. Simply holding the energy of the breath there in a sphere at the area of the throat. We're going to exhale in three, Two, One, Sigh it out. Take a settling breath in and out through the nose as we prepare for our second gentle hold. This next breath in will focus the energy of the hold around the heart space or heart chakra. So let's inhale in three, Two, One, In through the nose, Holding at the top, That sphere of energy in the center of the chest right there in the heart. Notice the sensations, Let the body relax. We'll release in three, Two, One, Exhale it out. A gentle settling breath in and out through the nose as we prepare for our third and final gentle breath hold. Our third breath hold will focus the concentrated energy of the breath in the area about four finger widths below the belly button. In three, Two, One, Inhale into the nose and at the top of the breath, Hold that sphere of breath energy down there four finger widths below the belly button. Just noticing the sensations, Allowing this energy sphere to anchor, Allowing your body to relax, Just noticing anything that arises in your awareness. And we're going to release that in three, Two, One, Exhale. Beautiful. Now allowing your attention to return to the natural rhythm of your breath. No controlling, No adjusting, Just let your breath flow in and out naturally. We've awakened some of the powerful energy centers throughout our system, Working our way towards the powerful root center or root chakra. This is the center that connects us to the very earth. It represents a sense of safety, Security, A sense of place, A sense of grounding. To get deep into this center, We're going to engage with the power of visualization. We're going to combine our physical activation with an inner intention, Really inviting in our intuition and imagination to guide the process as well. We're going to begin with a visualization as we inhale, Imagining the purest silvery white light filling the entire essence of your being. So as you inhale, Breathe deep into your belly, Pulling in this beautiful, Pure, Silver white light all the way down into your body, Into your system and exhaling it out. Continue with this visualization as you breathe in and out, White light pulled in, Down with that inhale, Penetrating every cell of your body, Filling your body to the brim, And then on the exhale, Releasing. See this white light energy channeling into you from the universe. You can allow it to expand to every cell of your body, Every atom and molecule of your system. This includes your physical body, Of course, But also every other level of your being. So your physiological self, But also your emotional self, Your mental self, And your spiritual self. Every aspect of your awareness is being filled and rejuvenated, Enlightened with this pure white silvery light. And as you exhale, Just allow the stress and the tensions that you carry with you from your day-to-day life to release back into the universe, Letting go of those things which are no longer serving you, Just letting go. And with the body full of this beautiful white light energy, Bring your attention now to the base of your spine. If you were to follow your spine all the way to its bottom, Find the energy center here at the bottom and bring to mind a small ball of white light right there. If you focus your attention here on this ball of energy, As you move your attention here, You can also connect to the energy of the root chakra, And you can allow it to begin a gentle opening process at a pace that's right and safe and grounded and correct for you. So imagine this energy center at the base of your spine, Like a flower with petals, And it opens toward the sky, Opening outward and upward to greet the illumination of the sun above. And as it opens up, You find a rich ruby red color shining through and coalescing up into the white light that's already filling your body. As this root center continues to emanate a serene, Safe, Earthy ruby light, You can also feel this light begin to envelop you, Encompassing you. So now this ruby red light is coursing through your being and then meeting, Joining, And becoming the white light already present. This ruby red light encompasses and it expands your physical body and then surrounds you in a soft, Warm, Egg-shaped sphere of light. Notice as you simply sit and settle and spend time in this sphere of light, You feel safe, Secure, And connected. Spend time just allowing the energy of this ruby red light to heal you. With a native intuitive intelligence, This ruby red light knows the parts of you and your systems that need a little extra support, Healing, Grounding. And if you desire, You can consciously take control of some of this red energy light and send it intentionally to different areas of your body or even different areas of your life. Continue to breathe as the light travels throughout your body. Allow it to expand throughout your chest, Into your belly, All throughout your pelvic region. You can sweep the light down your legs and into your feet. Now that we're here feeling the benefits of this grounding, Earthy energy, Let's connect even more deeply to its source. Allow this accumulation of light and energy to exit your feet and connect down to the core of the earth, Remembering to breathe. And as you breathe, Breathe the air into your belly, Allowing your belly to fill completely with each breath. In and out, Breathing in this beautiful grounded energy. And this earth energy flows back to you up through your feet as even more pure, Grounding, Comforting ruby red light. And in the presence of this healing red light, Let's explore some affirmations that allow us to invite this powerful earth energy to integrate and activate within our system. Let's see if we can make it even more present and accessible in our day-to-day life. You may choose to repeat the following affirmations silently or even gently say them aloud. I am connected with the ancient energy of the earth. I am grounded and centered. I belong. I am accepted. The earth supports and celebrates my existence and provides everything I need to evolve. I trust and love my life. I am free and secure. I am supported by the universe and life around me. Your root chakra is fully open and abundant and alive. Allow the energy of that center to awaken and shine. Take a deep breath in now through the nose. Inhale, Release it with a long sigh. The energy of this open rooted center continues to move as red light up the vertebrae of your spine. And as you sit, You can feel this earth energy working intricately through the entirety of your being. Breathe in again. And exhale. Once again, Visualize the energy from above, This white silvery energy coming down and meeting and merging with you energetically in the middle. This ruby red earth energy meeting this divine cosmic white energy from above. Once again, Visualize the energy from above and the energy from below meeting and merging within you energetically. Feel the divine universal light piercing through your crown and flooding down your spine and meeting and feeding into the root center energy, Nurturing and nourishing you. Spend some time here now. There's no rush. Spend some time here and recognize that everything is okay. You're safe. You're secure. You're needed. You are connected to the earth. The earth accepts and supports you. We'll take three deep breaths together to close our meditation session and release the visualization. First, Inhale in three, Two, One, In deeply through the nose. Nice, Full breath and then release through the mouth with a sigh. Extended into the nose, Releasing with a sigh. One more into the nose, Deep, Deep breath and exhale it all out, Completely releasing, Not just the breath, But releasing the visualization, Allowing everything to settle, Just coming completely back into the present moment of your body. Noticing the energy, Noticing anything that shifted, Any sensations, Any thoughts, Just allowing presence. When you're ready, You can allow your eyes to open naturally, Bringing yourself back to a conscious awareness of the present moment, Pleasantly and subtly, Moving your body slowly and calmly until you're back to yourself here in this space. May this grounding, Powerful earth energy stay with you, Giving you a sense of confidence, Stability, And power.
