Welcome to this root chakra meditation.
Find a quiet place to sit or lie down.
And if you haven't already,
Close the eyes.
Now breathing at your own pace and your own time.
Sink into this space and into the present moment.
And if you are sitting,
Gently roll your shoulders back,
Allowing your heart to shine.
Now take a deep inhale into the belly,
Holding the breath at the top and letting it all go.
Another deep inhale,
Letting the belly expand,
The rib cage expand and hold at the top.
And release.
And taking the deepest inhale yet,
Holding it at the top and letting it all go.
Now breathing at your own pace.
Just notice where you might feel sore or where you might be holding a little tension.
Can you find a little release in the jaw or between your eyebrows?
Or back between your shoulder blades?
Just finding a little more of that release,
Freeing up that space and that energy.
And now notice the points of contact,
Either your bed,
Your chair,
A yoga mat,
The floor.
And notice how you're held in this space.
If you are sitting,
Feel how the base of your spine holds you completely.
Your root chakra holds you now.
And notice how the earth beneath each one of us,
No matter if we're sitting or lying down or standing,
Is holding us.
Now draw a deep inhale into the base of the spine and release.
Now breathing in your own time.
And on your next exhale,
All the tension,
The worry,
The fear leaves with the breath.
We know when we release this energy,
Fears,
Doubts,
Worries,
They can be released into the earth.
And the earth has the ability to transmute that energy.
Take another deep inhale into the root and let it all go.
Notice being held by the root,
How each of the vertebrae are held as well.
This system within us.
And if you're sitting,
Allowing space between each of the vertebrae with each inhale.
Noticing that,
That length,
That space from the base of the spine up through the crown of the head.
Now drawing awareness to that space right in between the shoulder blades and that length across the chest,
Across the back.
Creating more length and more space on your next inhale.
Now an intentional breath in between the space in the back of the shoulder blades and letting it all go.
One more time.
And release.
Drawing awareness to how free the jaw feels.
How any tension that was there soothed away.
And once again,
Drawing awareness to the points of contact that you have and how held you are in the space.
Draw deep inhale into the base of the spine.
And let it all go.
Breathing at your own pace.
Acknowledging that you can find this sense of grounding at any time.
You can come right back home to it.
And you can stay here or feel free to wiggle the toes and the fingers.
When you are ready,
Open the eyes.
Namaste.
