Thank you for joining me for this grounding practice to manifest success in our life.
How does the strong tree grow tall in the air year after year,
Bringing new leaves and branches?
Because of the root system.
When one is rooted and strongly secure,
The mind is the limit.
Anything can happen.
But what if we didn't come from a strong background?
It doesn't matter.
At any time we can be the strength we need.
We can root ourselves.
So if you're ready,
Close your eyes.
Sitting upright in your chair,
Feet flat on the floor,
Hands at your lap,
Palm up or palm down.
Roll your shoulders back up and away from your ears,
Dipping your chin slightly so the spine is long.
Closing your eyes,
Taking a moment to notice your breath,
Allowing the muscles in the face,
Neck and shoulders,
The stomach,
Legs and toes,
Allowing them all to soften and relax,
Allowing ease to wash over your body.
Notice your breath as if it's the first time you've ever noticed it.
And exhaling all your breath out,
Inhale deeply through the nose,
Filling your chest expand,
Stomach rise,
Filling up.
And then as you exhale,
Letting it all go,
Filling your body settle into the chair.
Two more times together,
Inhale through the nose and exhale through the nose or the mouth.
One more time,
Inhale deeply and exhale completely,
Breathing naturally,
Slowly,
Deeply,
Noticing if any tension has come to any part of the body.
Allow your hands to soften,
The muscles behind the eyes to relax,
Noticing if you're grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw and creating some space in this area.
Let your belly hang loose and relax the muscles in the low back,
Noticing as you release the stomach and the back muscles how the legs soften as we relax our body and focus on our breath.
Notice if the mind is wandering and if so,
Gently bring the awareness back to the breath,
Following the trail of oxygen as you inhale through the nose,
As it goes down the nasal passage into the lungs.
And then as you exhale,
Follow it out,
Breathing naturally.
Visualize yourself as a tree,
Filling your feet and your seat,
Grounded and rooted.
And visualize yourself going all the way into the earth,
Feeling connected,
A part of something greater and deeper.
Allow your roots to take shape and form,
Knowing that just like the aspen tree,
Whose roots are connected under the earth,
Across every street and town and city,
So are we as humans,
Rooted and connected and a part of each other.
Visualize yourself upright,
Grounded,
Feeling strong and secure,
So that we may manifest whatever our desire is.
As you visualize yourself being a rooted tree,
Now think about what it is you'd like to grow into and having your belly,
Your arms,
Shoulders and head growing upwards,
As big as a redwood tree,
Able to accomplish any of your dreams,
Allow your heart to tell you what it is that you wish for.
Listen deeply,
See yourself successful.
What does that mean for you?
Having connection and community,
Giving back,
Completing a program of school or at work,
Having a family,
Whatever success is for you,
Visualize it,
See it,
Manifest it.
If we can dream it,
We can make it happen.
Feeling strong and rooted,
Bring your awareness back to your body and your breath.
Allow a slight smile to come to your cheeks,
Knowing you can make this happen.
Allow this feeling of success to wash over you and notice where you feel it in your body.
For some of us,
We feel it in our chest,
In our hands,
In our throat,
Maybe even our belly.
Allow these feelings of success to fill you up,
Warm your heart.
Know deeply that you can do anything your heart and mind set to do.
Taking a few deep last breaths,
Exhaling all your breath out.
Inhale deeply through the nose,
Feeling your body and spine grow larger and taller.
And as you exhale,
Rooting even deeper,
Feeling strong,
Centered.
Two more times,
Inhale deeply and exhale completely.
One more time together,
Inhale and exhale.
Breathing naturally,
Remembering that you are not alone.
We are all here striving.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes,
Wiggle your fingers and your toes.
Feel free to jot down any notes or thoughts to help your manifestation come true.
Thank you so much for allowing me the precious gift of your time.
Until next time.
