Lie down stretched out on the floor with your body relaxed.
Allow the weight of your body to be held by the floor,
The earth beneath you.
Feel the connection and the contact of your body.
Allow the front body to sink down toward the back body.
Letting go of any tension.
Letting go of any tightness.
Letting go of heaviness.
Let yourself be held by Mother Earth.
She's always holding you.
She has always supported you.
Feel your breath.
Feel the breath entering your body and allow your body to move with each breath.
Feeling your chest and your abdomen rise with each inhale and exhale.
Breathing naturally,
Try not to control your breath.
Just observe and be with the arising and passing of your breath.
As you continue to feel your breath rejuvenating and healing your body,
Allow your experience to be fully with the sensations.
What is present in your body at this very moment?
How are you connected with Mother Earth?
The air,
The oxygen that you breathe,
The water that sustains you,
The food that nourishes your body.
All this is your connection to our planet.
Breathe in this knowing and breathe out the gratitude that you feel.
What a wonderful gift it is to be born a human being.
So many beautiful ways to be a human.
So many beautiful ways to express our heart,
Our mind through the actions of our hands.
I invite you now to remember all the ways that you have contributed to the good of our planet.
I invite you to recount the ways that perhaps you have planted a seed,
Tended to a garden,
Taken care of other beings.
Perhaps you hugged a tree.
Perhaps you could feel the soft wet grass beneath your feet as you stretched your arms out to the sky.
What an awesome feeling to be alive,
Connected to our planet and all beings on this earth.
Breathing in love and breathing out love.
Breathing in love and breathing out gratitude.
Breathing in knowing that you have been fully supported by our planet and breathing out thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.
Bring your awareness to your heart space.
As you breathe in allow for your heart to fully expand,
Bring space into your heart.
And as you breathe out relax.
Allow yourself to settle,
Allow yourself to be at ease.
Breathing in opening the heart,
Breathing out relax.
And as an expression of our deep gratitude and our love for our mother earth,
We will practice loving kindness.
And because we are part of this earth,
We will begin with practicing loving kindness toward ourselves.
We're going to repeat these phrases silently.
So with your body relaxed,
Breathing,
Repeating these phrases.
May I be happy.
May I be healthy.
May I be safe from harm and danger.
May I know peace.
May I be happy.
May I be healthy.
May I be safe from harm and danger.
May I know peace.
And repeat these phrases silently in your mind for the next few moments.
Allowing yourself to be full of love toward your own being.
Healing your heart.
Healing your body.
Your body that is of this earth.
Breathing in love.
And breathing out gratitude.
May I be happy.
May I be healthy.
May I be safe from harm and danger.
May I know peace.
And now as you breathe in allowing your heart to be more spacious.
Feel your heart expanding.
Bringing space enough to fill your heart with every single being on this planet.
All beings to your right,
To your left.
All beings to the front,
To the back.
All beings above and below.
All around without exception.
Opening your heart.
And repeating these phrases silently in your mind.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be healthy.
May all beings be safe from harm and danger.
May all beings know peace.
And may Mother Earth heal from our love.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be healthy.
May all beings be safe from harm and danger.
May all beings know peace.
And may Mother Earth heal from our love.
Continue to repeat these phrases silently for the next few moments.
We are all connected to our Mother.
Our Mother Earth gives us life.
We are all connected to our Mother.
Let us all send love and compassion and deep gratitude for all that she provides.
Let us remember the greatness that we are capable of.
Our hands,
The skillful actions that we are capable of doing.
With these hands,
Let us all come together.
All our brothers and sisters connected.
Our hearts connected.
The rhythm of our hearts breathing with the rhythm of Mother Earth.
May we all be peaceful.
May we all know love.
May we all know love.
May we all know that we are loved.
May we all awaken together.
May we all be peaceful.
