Connection is a process of knowing our importance to the whole,
As well as comprehending that others share this importance with us.
This is a guided meditation of visualizing our connection to the power of the natural world and every person in it.
We begin with the premise that we are all intricately connected,
Even when we may feel isolated or separated from everyone else.
Let's begin by either sitting down or lying down to really feel this connection to the earth.
You may choose to root down through the sit bones as you come to your seated posture with a nice tall spine.
Or if lying down,
Feel your spine melt and feel supported into the earth.
We start by connecting to our breath.
As you breathe in,
Feel that nurturing support of all that Mother Earth provides.
Feeling your root either immersed in a bed of grass or the rich soil.
Breathing in this nurturance and then breathing out and allow her,
Mother Earth,
To absorb any worry or dis-ease that has accumulated in your body or even throughout a lifetime,
For she can take it.
Continuing with this visualization of breathing in this nurturing connection of Mother Earth and breathing out that disconnect or separation you may feel from this source.
Once again,
Breathing in,
Feeling that nurturing support,
The soft grass,
The rich soil.
And then breathing out,
Any feelings of isolation or separation to the whole.
Now begin to visualize at the crown of your head a beautiful and expansive starry night sky.
See in your mind's eye the grandeur and brilliance of vast constellations of energy and light.
And most importantly remembering that you are also the stuff made of stars.
Continuing with our breath,
Breathing in,
Seeing this expansiveness all around you,
The starry night sky.
A powerful reminder of your limitless potential.
And then breathing out,
That which holds you to thinking or believing small.
Once again,
Breathing in,
Feeling that expansiveness of who you really are.
And breathing out,
Any feelings of limited negative thinking.
And now we combine these two visualizations of Earth to sky.
So as you visualize the Earth below you,
Immersed in her nurturing strength,
And then see the starry night sky above you and all around you,
Enveloped in an expanse of freedom and possibility.
Remembering your connection to all these natural elements.
You are made of Earth and water.
And you are made of stars and light.
There is no separation between you and all the natural elements that surround you.
Breathing in this truth.
Breathing out,
Acknowledging your connection between the Earth,
Her nurturing support,
And the expanse of the sky,
Your limitless potential.
We are all connected.
Breathing in this truth once again.
Breathing out,
Acknowledging this connection.
You are this bridge between Earth and sky.
We are all made of water,
Of Earth.
And you are made of stars and light.
Breathing in this truth of connection to all that is.
Breathing out,
Acknowledging our connection to this infinite source of every natural element that encompasses us.
I would encourage you to see this connection throughout your day.
Notice the Earth beneath you,
How she supports you with every step.
Notice the sky all around you and above you.
This feeling of expansiveness.
And finally,
Sending gratitude to all that is.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Namaste.
