This is a short invocation for the grounding,
Sustainable energies of elemental earth.
If you want to amplify the effects of this visualization,
I suggest you practice outside,
And if you can,
In a place where you're surrounded by soil,
Trees,
Plants,
Mountains,
Or other types of natural earth.
To begin,
You can either stand tall,
Feet shoulder-width apart,
In a grounded,
Stable stance,
Or you can sit in a rooted position,
With your hands facing downward on your knees,
Either in a chair,
With your feet planted firmly,
Or with your legs crossed,
So you can feel the ground beneath your sit bones.
Take a moment to feel the solidity of your physical body,
And the firmness of the ground beneath you.
If you'd like,
You can take a moment to connect with your guides,
Your ancestors,
Or any other protective beings,
Asking them to support you in your ritual work today.
Affirm that only the energy that's aligned with what's best and right for you may enter your field.
Now close your eyes as we activate earth energy with breath.
Exhale completely,
Emptying yourself of air.
Now breathe in slow and low,
Deep into the belly,
Expanding the diaphragm,
And then filling the tops of the lungs.
Now breathe out and down,
Exhaling through your root and your feet into the ground beneath you,
Sensing the earth below.
Breathe in again through your nose,
Breathing into your belly,
Your chest,
Tops of your lungs,
Your throat.
Breathe out,
Descending with your awareness like roots sticking into earth beneath you.
Feel yourself begin to anchor here.
Breathe in,
Drawing air into your nose that pours in and seeks the lowest part of you,
Filling you with prana.
And exhale now,
Slowly reaching the tendrils of your awareness into the soil,
The rock,
The planet itself.
And breathe in one final time,
A sequoia,
A mountain.
Now breathe out,
Feeling yourself stable and grounded like planetary rock.
And breathe naturally now,
Feeling yourself rooted deeply to both this moment and presence,
To the nurturing energy of Universal Mother of Earth.
Keep your awareness expanded and open through your network of roots underneath you.
Perhaps you begin to notice the vast interconnected web of life that begins in the dark,
Safe womb of Earth and springs forth in the light bearing fruit,
Sustenance,
Fragrance.
Earth energy flourishes around us,
Manifesting in grounded solidity,
Patient stability.
Fill your mind with the image of the abundance of Earth,
Like an acorn that becomes a tree.
It becomes an acorn that becomes a tree.
Earth manifests as life,
As it continues and it tolerates and it endures.
As much as you can,
Feel this Earth in your body.
And now invite the abundance of Earth energy to be present in your heart.
Allow it to grow there.
You can imagine your deep interconnected roots beginning to absorb the light of Earth energy flowing upward into the space of your heart.
Cultivate this image of light moving in through your roots and gathering at your heart center.
And as you do so,
Allow the warmth of the intelligence of Elemental Earth to be present in your field.
Elemental Earth,
Great Mother,
Energy of mountains and forests,
Of harvests and life,
I call upon your grounded stability and activate the understandings of Earth in mind,
Body,
And spirit.
Fill my ears with the songs of the forest and let my nervous system rest.
Fill my eyes with the majesty of mountains and let their patient tolerance fill my mind.
Fill my nose with summer blooms,
My belly with the bounty of your fruits,
And let me remember my abundance and heal.
Fill my hands with the nourishing warmth of practice as I tend to your soil,
My bones and heart with the strength of redwoods.
Fill my mind with the nurturing safety of your love and infuse my spirit with the power of Earth.
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.
You can continue to rest here as long as you wish,
Bringing the energies of Earth into your mind,
Body,
And spirit.
When you do find completion,
Offer your thanks once again to the soil,
The trees,
The land,
The planet,
And the spirit of Elemental Earth.
Go forward with the power of Earth inside and around you.
May you be grounded,
Stable,
And strong.
Thank you.
Gratitude.
