Transcript

Close your eyes,

Direct your focus to the base of your spine.

The bottom most point you can sense right at the tip of the spine within your body.

Sink into this pelvic space.

Feel the weight of your body pressing against this point.

Feel this point holding all the weight,

Working in tandem with gravity.

This is the seat of your physical existence.

This is what anchors you to survival and security.

Feel this dense concentrated point.

This is where the medicine of the red hibiscus lives.

This red is an unbroken chain flowing to you from your mother,

To her from her mother and her mother and back through a thousand generations.

We are returning to the roots.

We are returning to the mother of all mothers.

We are descending to the root of the maternal lineage.

We are tapping into the power of the return,

The power of descent.

Don't make sense of this.

Don't calculate,

Don't analyze.

This requires no thought,

No intellect,

No words.

Your body knows this connection.

Stay with it.

We are awakening to the presence that has always been there and will always be there.

Feel this reticence moving down from the base of your spine.

It floods your thighs,

Your knees,

Your calves.

It reaches your feet and breaks through deep sensory roots,

Pushing into the soil,

Back to their home,

Back into the heart of mother earth.

There is nothing to achieve.

There is nothing to receive.

There is nothing to offer.

Just a witnessing of this connection.

Just remembering that you are part of this web,

That you are always held within this red primordial womb.

Repeat after me.

I am connected.

I am anchored.

I am absolute.

You may now open your eyes.
