This practice is inspired by the plant song of the Algerian ivy who lends her energy and spirit as part of this guided exercise. In this brief meditation, Dr. Holly channels the plant's journey in growth as a guide for our own expansion. Root, sacral, and heart chakras are balanced with help of this sacred feminine plant energy. I hope it serves you.

Hello,

This is Dr.

Holly inviting you to connect with Mother Earth.

Today,

We listen to the song of the ivy,

Which crawls up from our earth towards the sky.

Like the ivy,

You too can reach towards your roots,

Deep beneath the earth,

Feeling your connection to your ancestors,

To those who came before you,

To those who support you here in this space and time,

Allowing that support to keep you strong,

To keep you in this moment connected through space and time.

Taking a deep breath and breathing in that support,

Feeling it come through your roots,

Through your connection to the earth,

Your feet below your feet into the roots of the earth and pulling up that support and love from those who've come before you.

Like the ivy,

The energy comes through your roots into your solar plexus,

Allowing you to shine and bring forth all the gifts you have to offer to those around you.

Growing forward into your heart,

Allowing the light to shine,

Feeling it glow with green of love and adoration,

Bursting forth to all those immediately near you and just past your sight,

Feeling your love reach past to every living being near and far as you shine with beauty and essence of what is held in your heart.

Like the ivy,

You grow forth and move forward and higher up towards the sun,

Allowing yourself to be seen in all of your brightness and glory,

Shining forth with your love and your essence.

With time as it grows,

The ivy allows itself to release what no longer serves it as leaves which have grown brown and withered are allowed to fall.

Like the ivy,

We too can release what no longer serves us,

Allowing the pain,

The discomfort,

The old patterns that are no longer giving us enrichment to fall to the earth for that energy to be recycled and renewed and allow for it to again become something new.

For like the ivy,

Our energy can also be recycled and changed into a new sense of self,

A new being,

A new amount of love and light and growth for with every bit of leaf and dysfunctional way of being that we release and allow to go back into the earth.

We generate a space for something new and amazing to come forth.

All that is within us,

All that is meant to be coming from us has been determined and we just need to be and allow it to come.

Breathing in all of the possibilities and knowing that like this ivy,

You too are growing and changing moment to moment,

Day to day,

Year and year,

Onward and upward.

And with that,

I send you love and understanding and support from your mother earth and the dear ivy that sings to you today.

I hope this serves you.
