Embodying Mother Earth.

This embodiment practice is facilitated by Maureen Pelton,

Social scientist and spiritual teacher with 30 years of experience studying and facilitating embodiment.

My intention in sharing this practice is to deepen connection between your body and Mother Earth.

Please begin by sitting comfortably in a chair with your feet on the ground,

Or you may prefer to be outside if possible.

Please close your eyes or soften your gaze and begin by becoming aware of your breath.

Observe your breath in your body.

Notice the rhythm of your breath in your body.

Be aware of the rhythm of your heartbeat in your body.

And notice the rhythm of any sensations or emotions in your body.

Please take a couple of deep,

Expansive belly breaths,

Breathing in with gratitude and breathing out stress and tension.

Allowing your breath to be your guide,

Soften and settle into your body,

Bringing your awareness and breath to the base of your spine and the bottom of your feet.

As you allow the energy of the Earth to be received through your feet and spine,

Know your physical form is supported by its Mother Earth.

Know that it is the Earth's energies that sustain and nurture your body.

We will begin a journey of moving through the layers of Mother Earth and discovering where she resides in you.

Please engage your neutral observer that is full of awe and curiosity and wonder,

And hold an intention of connecting deeply with the layers of the Earth.

Bring your neutral awareness to the base of your spine and the bottom of your feet.

And using your mind's eye,

Imagine traveling through the floor beneath you and into the first layer of the Earth.

This is the black soil layer full of nutrients for seeds to take root and where fertilization occurs.

I invite you to be in the soil.

See it.

Smell it.

Feel it.

Touch it.

Absorb it.

Let the soil nourish you.

Where do you experience this rich soil in your body?

Or where in your body do you resonate with the richness of the black soil?

Just breathe and observe what you experience.

Now travel down to the next layer of Earth.

This is the aggregate layer where the water tables reside and the volcanic ash exists.

I invite you to be in it.

This is an unstable layer with loose rock.

See it.

Smell it.

Feel it.

Know it.

Absorb it.

Allow the water to nourish you.

Where do you experience this watery,

Rocky sensation in your body?

Or where in your body do you resonate with instability?

Just notice what you experience.

Traveling down,

We enter the granite layer where the metals and crystals reside.

This is a stable,

Solid level of our Earth.

Be in the granite.

See it.

Smell it.

Feel it.

Know it.

Smell it.

Allow the stability to nourish you,

Experiencing the energy of the crystals.

And where do you experience the granite in your body?

Or where in your body do you resonate with stability?

Just observe what unfolds.

Moving down is a fiery layer of the Earth.

This is where the magma flows and it is hot.

Be in the fiery heat.

Feel it.

Touch it.

Smell it.

Absorb it.

Allow the fire to nourish you by burning away that which is complete or that which you are willing to let go of.

Where do you experience this fire in your body?

Or where in your body do you resonate with letting go?

Breathe and observe your experience.

Going deeper,

I invite you to enter the metamorphic layer where oil is generated.

Be in the metamorphic layer.

See it.

Smell it.

Feel it.

Touch it.

Smell it.

Allow yourself to be nourished by this transformative energy.

And where do you experience this metamorphic layer in your body?

Or where in your body do you resonate with transformation?

Observe what emerges.

Traveling down we enter another fire layer.

This is a hot,

Dry,

Hazy heat.

This is the final layer before entering the divine core of the Earth.

This is the layer of purification.

Be in the dry,

Hazy heat.

See it.

Smell it.

Feel it.

Know it.

Absorb it.

Be nourished by allowing yourself to be purified.

Where do you experience dry,

Hazy heat in your body?

Or where in your body do you resonate with purification?

Observe what unfolds.

Now I invite you to enter the divine core of the Earth.

Be in the core.

See it.

Smell it.

Feel it.

Absorb it.

Walk around and explore with your curiosity and wonder.

Let it nourish you by anchoring and centering you.

Where do you experience the core of the Earth in your body?

Now imagine a grounding cord coming from the base of your spine.

With gratitude,

You may plug it into the divine core of the Earth and anchor your physical form and energetic body within the womb of the Earth Mother who sustains and nurtures you.

With reverence for our connection to the Earth,

We will begin a gradual return to our bodies through the layers.

I invite you to ascend into the dry,

Hazy heat layer.

Now through the metamorphic layer,

Into the fiery magma,

Moving up into the granite.

Now entering the aggregate layer and into the rich black soil,

Pausing for a moment and feeling your grounding cord anchored into the core of the Earth,

Keeping you stable,

Connected and grounded.

Now come up through the floor and into your body.

Take some deep,

Gentle breaths and be aware of your body.

Be aware of what you are experiencing in your body,

How your body feels.

Are there new sensations?

Are you able to experience a deep connection to the Earth in your body?

Are you willing to expand in the mutual reverence between the Earth and your body?

May you remember that your body is of the Earth and the Earth is in your body and they are both sacred.

Remembering the experience of the layers of the Earth within your body,

Please open your eyes and observe the world around you.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this, it's not something I would gravitate towards. But it was incredibly interesting, and personally I found a lot of the layers matched up with some chakras. I really enjoy this . Namaste
