Do you remember ever curling into the roots of a great tree when you were a little kid? I bet you felt so supported there, so small and so taken care of. Intuitively, you knew that Mother Earth had your back, and you looked forward to the fulfillment of your dreams. Do you ever wish you could get back to that place? I am overjoyed to share this guided meditation with you, that I hope will take there. Back to the place where you believed in your own worthiness and were able to receive the blessings of the Universe freely. Do you ever receive a gift and immediately say, "You shouldn't have!", or receive a compliment on something you're wearing and say, "This old thing?" Stop. Rejecting. Blessings. We cannot experience genuine gratitude until we open ourselves to the blessings available to us at all times. We cannot open ourselves to these incessant blessings until we acknowledge and believe our own worthiness to receive them. This is a life-long journey of worthiness-remembering.

Namaste and welcome to this guided meditation from Luminous Leanings to help you lean into the light.

Today we are going to connect to the earth,

To the support that is continuously surrounding us.

We are going to open ourselves to the blessings manifesting in our lives in order to fully and genuinely experience gratitude.

Begin by finding comfort and relaxation in a posture that is available to you right now.

You can be standing,

Seated,

Or lying down on the ground.

Take a deep breath in to fully arrive in this moment.

Visualize yourself as a child resting in the roots of a great tree.

Prepare yourself for gratitude by picturing the many blessings in your life,

Perhaps loved ones,

Your safe home,

Your job or other income source,

The breath in your lungs,

Your well body and functioning organs.

Take a moment here to acknowledge whatever comes to mind that you are grateful for.

Visualizing yourself again,

Curled up in the roots of that great tree,

Take a moment to connect to your foundation.

If you are seated,

This will be your root chakra found at the base of your spine.

Allow this point to fully connect to the earth.

If you are standing,

Your root will be the soles of your feet.

If you are lying down,

You can imagine five roots,

One at the very back of your head,

One at the back of your heart,

One at the base of your spine,

And one on each of the backs of your heels.

Now imagine vibrant green roots reaching from your foundation points through the ground below you,

Through the foundation of the building you are in or the ground you are sitting on.

Wherever you are,

These roots are reaching down,

Down,

Down into the earth's crust,

Past layers and layers of sediment,

And finally the earth's core.

Imagine a ball of white light spinning in the core of the earth,

Pure,

Beautiful source energy.

See your roots plug into the source,

And as you take your next breath in,

The purest white light begins to travel up your roots,

Back into your body,

And finally make their way to your heart.

Now with every breath out,

Your roots are going to carry your gratitude from the center of your heart down deep into the earth's core,

Making the tree you are curled into grow taller and more lush.

This is how you show Mother Earth your gratitude,

Only after you have fully allowed her beautiful source energy into the deep recesses of your heart.

Are you ready?

Visualize once more all that you are grateful for.

Now breathe in the purest white light of energy filling up your lungs top to bottom and side to side.

Hold.

Breathe out the gratitude you feel for the earth,

The planet,

And all the ways you are supported.

Breathe in the blessings of the universe deeply.

Hold.

Breathe out.

Connect to that part of you that feels gratitude deep inside your heart.

Breathe in.

Visualize that source energy flowing back up from the center of the earth to the center of your heart.

Hold.

Breathe out.

Let your support systems know you are grateful.

Breathe in.

Let the universe know that you know you are worthy of all the blessings it bestows upon you.

Breathe out.

Send back your gratitude,

Love,

Light.

Continue breathing and visualizing in this way.

On every in-breath,

The white source energy flows from the center of the earth into your heart.

On every out-breath,

You send your gratitude back into the earth,

Making the tree grow taller and fuller.

In.

Hold.

And out.

In.

Hold.

And out.

In.

Hold.

And out.

And now on your own.

As you begin to allow your breathing to return to normal.

Bring your hands to the prayer position at your heart center.

You can say to yourself now,

I am worthy of the blessings the universe wants to bestow upon me.

I am worthy of the support of Mother Earth as well as those in my life who support me.

I give thanks for the grounding healing source energy that is available to me at all times.

Open your eyes.

And with a bow,

Namaste.

Thank you for listening.

I'll catch you next time on another guided meditation from Luminous Leanings.
