Close your eyes and take a deep,
Slow breath in.
And as you breathe out,
Allow your awareness to settle gently into your body.
Let the outer world fade away as you arrive here fully.
In this breath,
In this moment,
In the sacred stillness of your own being.
Imagine yourself standing in a tranquil forest.
The air is pure and alive with the scent of earth and leaves.
Tall trees rise around you like ancient guardians,
Their trunks steady and wise.
Sunlight filters through the canopy,
Scattering golden light that dances upon the forest floor.
Beneath your feet,
The ground feels soft and welcoming.
A carpet of fallen leaves that cushions every step.
The forest feels alive,
Enchanted,
Its very air humming with peace and quiet magic.
Slowly,
You walk deeper into this sanctuary.
With each step,
Your awareness sinks deeper into stillness.
You can feel the forest breathing with you.
Each inhale and exhale in perfect harmony with the rhythm of the forest.
As you walk,
Your hand reaches out to touch the trees and you sense their strength.
Ancient,
Unwavering,
Calm.
Looking up,
You see the trees stretch their branches wide,
Reaching gracefully towards the light above.
Their canopy spreads far beyond their trunks.
Open,
Expansive,
And alive.
And you sense what lies unseen beneath the surface.
Their roots spreading deep into the earth,
Mirroring every branch above.
The trees exist in perfect harmony,
Rooted in the earth,
Yet open to the sky.
And in this moment,
You recognize yourself within them.
You too grow from your roots upward,
Nourished and supported by the earth.
While your spirit reaches ever towards the light of your own higher being.
Being grounded here is the beginning of your expansion into your light.
You pause for a moment,
Breathing softly into this feeling.
Of safety.
And now you take a deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Breathe down into the ground beneath you.
Feel that breath travel deeply,
Connecting you to the living presence of Gaia.
And with the next exhale,
Feel yourself expanding upwards,
Stretching gently into your own being.
Connected both to the earth below and to the light within.
And as you open to all the energy of life,
A soft warmth fills the air.
A warmth that blooms in your heart.
A deep gratitude for all the love and support.
And the never-ending nourishment of physical and spiritual energy.
That love flows throughout your body,
Nourishing each chakra.
As you honor the earth,
Your physical journey,
The divine cosmos,
Your past and future,
And your strength and your joy.
As you pause here,
You sense the quiet hum of life all around you.
Full of life,
Yet also still and peaceful.
And as you breathe into this stillness,
You begin to feel roots forming.
Radiant tendrils of light unfurl from your base chakra and the soles of your feet.
They reach deep into the heart of the earth,
Luminous and alive.
Carrying your love and your presence down into Gaia's embrace.
You feel yourself fully connecting with all that Gaia has to offer.
And as you breathe into this stillness,
You begin to feel roots forming.
Radiant tendrils of light unfurl from your base chakra and the soles of your feet.
They reach deep into the heart of the earth,
Luminous and alive.
And as you breathe into this stillness,
You begin to feel roots forming.
Radiant tendrils of light unfurl from your base chakra and the soles of your feet.
They reach deep into the heart of the earth,
Luminous and alive.
And as you breathe into this stillness,
You begin to feel roots forming.
Radiant tendrils of light unfurl from your base chakra and the soles of your feet.
They reach deep into the heart of the earth,
Luminous and alive.
And as you breathe into this stillness,
You begin to feel roots forming.
Radiant tendrils of light unfurl from your base chakra and the soles of your feet.
They reach deep into the heart of the earth,
Luminous and alive.
And as you breathe into this stillness,
You begin to feel roots forming.
And now Gaia sends her love back to you.
Her living energy rises gently up through those roots.
A warm current of light rising up through your legs,
Filling you with stability and peace.
The energy continues flowing until it naturally stops at your base chakra.
The foundation of your safety,
Strength and belonging.
Here you are safe,
You are loved,
You are supported by life itself.
Always held in love,
Grounded in stability.
Free to move yet always connected.
Just feel this deep,
Secure connection with Gaia.
And feel the serenity that comes from knowing you are supported in all ways.
As this energy anchors you,
And the peace rises,
You feel your balance.
Your belly soften,
Your solar plexus expand as you let go of all the anxiety,
The worries,
The fears and concerns that you carried for so long.
Your body relaxes and every part of you releases into a deep feeling of ease.
There is nothing to hold on to,
No fears,
No worries.
Now as you look around the forest,
You see the rich tapestry of life.
The soft moss,
The tall trees,
The toadstools and the flowers all opening to the light,
All grounded here in Gaia.
Everything breathes with the same divine essence and you are a part of it,
One with this living world.
Breathe in this beauty,
Let it remind you that connection is everywhere,
In every leaf,
Every flower,
Every drop of rain that nourishes the soil.
When you are ready,
Begin to return from the forest,
Carrying within you its calm and vitality and security.
The connection will always be with you,
An invisible thread linking you always to the living earth.
You are rooted in love,
Grounded in light,
Safe in your body and free in your spirit.
