Grounding,
Balancing all energies.
Here and now we arrive at the root.
Munna Dara,
Our energy center for our most basic sense of identity.
Material reality,
Red like the rich fertile soil of the earth element.
The foundation.
Here we always begin.
With a breath.
Here you land.
Here you ground.
Here now we root.
Find a comfortable seat with your palms face down on your knees.
Pratyahara,
Let the senses withdraw inwards.
Inhale deeply.
And exhale fully.
Allow the inflow and outflow of your breath.
Allow some space for the breath to flow.
The head floats up towards the sky.
The base of the spine just drops to the earth.
Let the natural curves of your body find themselves.
And then gently,
Scan yourself slowly.
From your very top to your very bottom,
Notice whatever there is to notice.
Notice any pain or discomfort,
Unease.
Just take note.
Without judgements or expectations,
You don't have to fix a thing.
Just feeling.
And when you arrive at the root of your body,
Allow your seat to release like a big tree trunk softening into the earth.
Allow yourself to be fully supported by strong,
Stable mother earth.
Allow her to hold you wherever you sit.
Allow her to charge you here,
Now.
Giving up all your weight.
Letting yourself know,
I trust you.
All that has brought me right here and right now,
I trust you.
Allow your life force to gather there at your base.
Allow it to reach down out past your body,
Into your powerful roots.
Stretching down into the earth,
Past the floor where you sit.
Past the rock,
Past the soil and the sediment,
Straight into the core of the planet.
Let her hold you.
Let yourself charge there.
Breathing,
I trust you.
All that has brought me right here and right now,
I trust you.
All that has brought me right here and right now,
I trust you.
All that has brought me right here and right now,
I trust you.
All that has brought me right here and right now,
I trust you.
All that has brought me right here and right now,
I trust you.
All that has brought me right here and right now,
I trust you.
All that has brought me right here and right now,
I trust you.
Deepening the breath.
Feeling the vibration of trust.
The vibration of support.
Breathing trust.
Slowly and gently opening the eyes in curiosity.
Allowing vivid color,
Light,
Beauty to enter the vision.
Receiving your world in gratitude.
Bringing the left hand to the heart and the right to the belly,
Giving thanks for this body.
Holding it.
Releasing it with a breath.
May we root in trust.
May we ground ourselves wherever we land.
The deepest part of me bows to the deepest part of you.
Namaste.
