Welcome to this grounding meditation to help you during this crazy Christmas period.
My name's Geraldine Crane and if you feel comfortable to do so,
It's just time to close or rest your eyes,
Sitting somewhere comfortable.
As we just acknowledge this time of wintering,
When we feel a deep pull within to slow down.
Yet ironically,
This time of wintering,
Of slowing down,
There comes Christmas,
A celebration that is wonderful but can also demand so much.
It can demand so much physically and emotionally.
And this contradiction between the slowing down of the wintering months and the fast pace of Christmas can feel uncomfortable.
So let's take some time to honor that call from within,
That call from Gaia,
From the earth,
From nature to slow down.
So with your eyes closed,
I want you to just place your hands on your heart and allow your focus now to drift inwards.
Allow your focus to move into your body,
Feeling into your body.
Notice how your body is feeling.
Notice any discomfort,
Any niggles,
Any tiredness.
This is your body communicating with you.
So just notice now what your body is communicating with you today.
What does it need?
And then allow your focus to move down into the earth,
Down into the ground,
Into Gaia.
Being aware of the earth,
The soil,
Perhaps going even deeper into the earth,
Connecting with the energy,
Noticing how you feel as you connect with that energy,
That deep,
Pure peaceful,
Grounded feeling.
Perhaps a feeling of being held,
A feeling of connection,
Being connected to nature,
To the earth.
And again,
Notice if the earth is trying to communicate with you,
If there's any wisdom that is coming up through the earth,
What is nature trying to tell you?
Really listen to that now.
And now with your hands still over your heart,
Move your focus to your heart center.
Settle into that space.
Allow it to be flooded with light,
With love.
Really listen to your heart.
What is your heart center communicating with you?
What does your heart need right now?
And as you allow the heart to keep being flooded with love and with light,
Notice the peace that's there deep within.
And repeat with me now aloud or within your mind,
Repeat after me,
Peace is always within.
Peace is always within me.
Peace is always within me.
And now feeling more grounded,
Feeling more peaceful.
Before you move on with your day,
I want you to imagine a beautiful pyramid of protection coming around you.
Perhaps it builds around you,
Perhaps it comes down over you,
Or perhaps you step into it.
However your pyramid comes around you is right for you today.
And allow your pyramid to be made of whatever you need that day,
Whether it's something so strong and protective or something more permeable,
That's all okay.
Just trust what's being brought.
Then surround your pyramid with gold,
Silver,
And white light with a beautiful star at the top.
Then be aware of source energy,
Perhaps a beautiful white light coming down from source through the star,
Through the top of your head,
Through your crown of your head,
Through your whole body,
Filling your whole being and down into the earth.
Beautiful.
And when you're ready,
You can slowly and gently start returning to the room and your deep,
Grounded peace,
Feeling calm,
Feeling protected,
Feeling peaceful and ready to go on with your day.
