Thank you for joining me today. Before we start, Make sure you're settled in and feeling comfortable. Whether you're laying down or sitting up, Comfort is key during meditation. Let's gently close our eyes and get started. Let's start by taking two cleansing deep breaths. So we'll slowly inhale with our nostrils and slowly exhale, Releasing any tension or stress you may be feeling in your body. Let's do one more inhale and a slow extended exhale. This meditation's main focus will be on the root chakra. However, I'd like to start every meditation by doing a quick body scan. So let's take all of our attention away from our thoughts and bring it all the way down to what we're feeling in our feet. Let's start with our toes. What do you feel on the toes of your feet? Do they feel cool? Are they nice and toasty warm? What do you have on your feet right now? Is there a blanket covering your feet? Can you feel the texture of the blanket or your socks? Let's take a moment here and concentrate on what you're feeling at your toes and your feet. Now let's shift our awareness from our feet and shift up to our calf muscles and our shins and our knees. Can you really focus in on that part of your body? What do you feel? And now let's go to our thighs, The strongest part of our legs and the back of our legs. Take a moment, See what you feel, Practice that focus, Relax those muscles. And now let's shift up to our lower abdomen right below your belly button. If you put your hand there, You can feel it rise and fall with breath. Check in, See what you feel. And now let's shift around to the lower back, The shoulder blades. With every exhale, Just try to relax a little bit more. And now let's move up to the shoulders. There are two places I hold most of my tension, One being the shoulders. So as you exhale, Lower your shoulders just a little bit more each time. Pay attention to what you're feeling in the shoulders. Let's travel our awareness from our shoulders down our arms to our hands. Take a moment to check in with the palms of your hands and the backs of your hands. Is there a temperature difference between the two? Are your hands rested on your knees? Perhaps it's still on your lower abdomen. What do you feel? And let's not forget those fingers. Let's wiggle those fingers, Paying close attention to what we feel on them. And now let's travel back up our arms, Back to our shoulders, Up to the muscles in our face, To the second place where I hold a lot of my tension, And that's the jaw. Sometimes I'll open my jaw up wide, My mouth, I'll open it up wide, Stretch it out when I'm doing my body scan, Depending on how much tension I feel there. Other times I'll just gently open my mouth and wiggle my chin from the left to the right. Again, Helping me be aware of what I'm feeling there at the same time as releasing some tension. And now the forehead, The muscles in our forehead. They might get the best workout out of my whole body, The muscles in my forehead. So let's take a moment to see what we feel there. If our eyes are still gently closed, Then your forehead should be nice and relaxed. Take a moment and see what you feel. We're going to shift our focus from our body to our breath and our energy center, The root chakra. I'm going to try to combine a little bit of a mindful meditation as well as an energy healing meditation here by focusing in on that root chakra as we focus in on our breath. So let's start with our breath. We're going to just breathe in and out gently through our nose if you can, Obviously through your mouth if you can't breathe in and out through your nose. I find breathing in and out through my nose really helps to focus my energies on my breath. I can really feel it in and out through my nostrils. So let's take some time here to simply focus on our breath. We breathe in, We feel the air. We breathe out, We feel the air. It's a nice, Relaxed focus on your breath. Now that we've reconnected with our gentle breath, Let's add in the focus of some energy healing at our root chakra. Our root chakra is an energy center that's located at the base of our spine. It is our foundation. When it is balanced, We feel grounded. We feel safe. We feel secure. When it is balanced, It will result in a better flow of energy to all of the other energy layers. If your root chakra is not in balance, It could spell trouble for the entire energy system. If you're not grounded, You may feel insecure. You may feel unsafe. You may have anxiety. You might have fear. Physically you may have lower back, Leg or feet pain. To help balance the chakra during this meditation, We're going to imagine a beautiful warm red light right at the root. This red light is not only there at the root, But it's emanating out. It's nice and warm. It feels strong. It feels safe and secure. Imagine that red light right there at the root. Imagine it spinning clockwise. When your energy centers are balanced, They spin clockwise. They spin balanced. They're not too fast, Not too slow, Just right. Again, Let's visualize that beautiful warm red light supporting you. In an effort to try to combine a focus on our breath with a focus on our root healing, Let's repeat these words as we breathe in and as we breathe out. I am grounded. I am safe. I am secure. Simply breathe in and think the words, I am. When you exhale, Think the word grounded. On your next inhale, Think the words, I am. And on your exhale, Think the word safe. On your next inhale, Think the words, I am. And on your exhale, Think the word secure. I am grounded. I am safe. I am secure. I am grounded. I am safe. I am secure. I am grounded. I am safe. I am secure. As you're repeating these phrases and aligning it with your breath, You will get distracted. We all get distracted. It might be our thoughts, Maybe emotions, Maybe sensations in our body or sounds in the room. It's okay to get distracted. Our mind will always be thinking. What we're doing is giving it a little bit of a job to do other than thinking of all those thoughts. We're giving it a job to do and it's helping us to heal our root chakra now by repeating the phrases, I am grounded. I am safe. I am secure. And as we're aligning it with our breath, We're also connecting to the present. We're training our brain to realize distraction and we're getting back to our focus. So when you get distracted by your thoughts, Just get back to your focus. It's that easy. I am grounded. I am safe. I am secure. Repeat those phrases quietly as you breathe in, As you breathe out, As you get distracted, Just forgive yourself and get back to that focus. I am grounded. I am safe. I am secure. I'll quiet my voice for a little while here as you practice. Just repeat that phrase. Continue to breathe. I am grounded. I am safe. I am secure. Release that focus. Take a deep breath in and a slow exhale out. Begin to reacquaint yourself with the physical space around you by making some subtle movements in your physical body, Like wiggling your fingers, Wiggling your toes. Start your arms and your legs. Take a moment now just to thank yourself for taking the time to meditate today. Caring for yourself is the first step in caring for others. And by taking part of this meditation today, You did just that. I hope that you received a little bit of peace, Calm and healing with this meditation. Again, Thank you so much for joining me. Have a super day.
