This is your energy grounding meditation.
On your next breath from wherever you are,
Wherever you have been,
Gather up all of yourself into your head.
And then on your next breath,
Draw yourself down into your heart.
And on your next breath,
Draw all of your energy down into your belly.
And just take a few moments to breathe here,
Feeling your belly expand in all directions,
Feeling the expansive quality of your inhale,
Feeling the sweet surrender of your exhale.
This meditation is to help you establish your grounding cord to the heart center of this planet so that you can draw upon a larger energy as you move and flow through your day.
On your next inhale,
I want you to visualize,
Sense,
Or feel the way you send your little energy down,
Down through the feet,
Through the legs,
Through your tailbone,
Sending your energy down through the floor,
Starting to journey all the way down to the center of the planet.
It may be useful to visualize roots,
An intricate system of silver roots like the roots of a tree growing out from your tailbone into your legs and traveling all the way down through the rocky,
Rocky earth.
Going through the crust,
Through the mantle,
Through the outer core,
And eventually feeling your little energy anchor into the large energy of this planet,
The dark,
Still,
Silent heart center of earth.
Continue to visualize this system of roots traveling all the way down.
You may prefer another visualization,
And that's okay too.
If you'd rather imagine a river of energy anchoring your tailbone to the heart center of this planet,
Or even just a column of light that anchors you all the way down,
It doesn't matter what it is,
It just matters that it is.
Continue to feel,
Sense,
Visualize,
Imagine,
Sending all of your energy down,
Sending your little belly into the earth's big belly,
Your little heart into her expansive heart.
When you feel as though you have finally anchored into the cool,
Dark,
Still,
Silent heart center of this planet,
Take a few moments and just enjoy the sweetness of being there.
Now,
In the same way that the roots of a tree grow down into the earth but simultaneously draw up the nutrients from the soil,
Start to draw that earth energy up,
Up through all the layers of the earth,
And feel it enter into your tailbone and let it swirl there in that first temple,
The temple of your tailbone.
And then just take a few moments here to feel this mutual energetic exchange sending your little energy all the way down,
Anchoring it into the heart center of this planet,
And drawing the earth's energy all the way up.
This is your grounding cord,
And once you have set it,
It will be there for the rest of the day until you go to sleep.
You can call upon it when you come into challenge,
Frustration,
Aggravation.
The value of setting this grounding cord is remembering that there is a much larger energy that is available to you,
And this larger energy connects you not only to yourself but to the larger,
Wider dream of this planet.
When you're ready,
You can blink your eyes open or you can continue into the energy clearing meditation to deepen your daily practice.
Thank you.
