Let's practice by finding a comfortable seat,
Either sitting cross-legged if that is comfortable for you,
Or maybe on a chair.
Ensuring your feet are firmly glued to the floor,
Straightening the back,
Relaxing the shoulders.
Let's begin by taking three deep,
Cleansing breaths.
Breathing in through the nose,
Exhaling through the mouth with a sigh.
Exhale,
Release.
For a time,
Out,
Release.
Any tension,
Anything you're holding onto,
Just let it all in.
Gently allowing that breath to come back to its natural rhythm.
Before saying or trying,
Let's just allow that breath to be.
You're simply observing this rhythm of your breath.
Let's guide your awareness into the tip of your nose and just start to connect with the air as it enters and leaves your body.
Just feeling the texture of the air and the temperature as you breathe in slightly cooler air.
As you breathe out,
Brushing the top of your lip.
Let's guide your awareness into your body,
Your chest,
Your belly.
Still observing this natural rhythm of your breath as the air enters through your nose and expands into your chest and maybe even your belly.
As you exhale,
The body contracts,
Pushing out all the air.
Just for a moment,
Observe this rise and fall,
Raising,
The falling,
The expansion,
And the contraction.
Observing your breathing body with each breath,
Just allowing your body to relax and soften even more.
Allowing any areas of tightness or tension to just fade away.
Observing any sensations as they arise,
Releasing all judgment to all that you're experiencing in this moment.
Simply being the observer.
As you feel heavier in your body,
In your seat,
Connecting deeper and deeper into the ground or the surface beneath you,
Cue to open up your mind's eye and start to imagine or envisage roots going out through the bottom of your feet,
Your legs,
Your seat,
Whatever is connected to the ground.
You observe now as this sticky,
Tangly web roots seem to expand and go deeper and deeper into the surface towards your body.
They grow and grow as your roots penetrate deep,
Deep into the ground.
Begins to connect with the roots of all other plants,
Insects,
Roots of all other beings.
You see beneath the surface of the ground,
This beautiful web,
The web gets tangled and connected to everything,
Everything else on the surface of this earth to have these roots.
They are continuously growing and wrapping around each other.
It is a sight to behold for a moment.
Just see what is going on under the surface of the earth as your roots and the roots of all beings begin to connect.
As you go deeper into the earth,
You notice how your physical body is connected through these invisible threads of energy that are all entangled and connected to each other.
As they connect now,
They light up,
Electricity,
The tiny strands,
A spectacular glowing show beneath the surface of the ground.
As you sit in your seat,
You feel one connected with Gaia,
The earth that holds,
Nurtures,
Loves you without conditions.
She is you and you are her.
As you allow this moment to connect,
Feel into Gaia,
Connect into this sense of being at one with all books,
The face of the earth,
Incredible feeling.
This continues to see the glowing cords of light connecting to each other,
Lovingly flowing,
Moving.
As they continue to expand and grow and find more to connect with,
It truly is a sight to beheld as you envisage this beautiful earth that is upon it,
Connected deeply underneath the surface.
You feel at one with this earth,
With all of nature,
With the animals,
With all beings are all connected through these invisible cords,
Source energy.
Now let's just take a deep breath here,
Seeing your body laying upon the earth,
Connected to all things.
Allow this awareness to zoom out slightly as you bring your awareness now to the space that surrounds your body,
Above your body.
Feel your energy field expand and radiate outwards from your center.
Envisage a golden light emanating from your heart center.
This golden glow expands outwardly in all directions to receive the cosmic energies from above,
Everything that exists above your body,
The sky,
The birds,
Zooming out the atmosphere to the moon.
You see the earth within its own solar system,
Planets and stars landing and moving all around the central sun.
The cosmos is emanating this same tangled web you observed below the earth,
But now you see these tiny cords in the ether,
These threads connecting everything to everything else out in space as far as you can imagine.
This universe,
Many,
Many other universes exist connected and one with you.
Tiny flowing cords carry pure source energy,
Divine light,
The same source energy that is the essence,
Core of your being.
Just observe this for a few moments,
Electrical currents of energy flowing and radiating everywhere you can see.
Truly beautiful sight to behold as you observe this,
Feel with all that is.
It feels so loving,
So safe,
So supportive.
Naturally,
Corners of your lips turn upward into a smile at one that is.
Take it all in,
Beautiful soul.
I'd like you now to take a gentle breath,
Breathe back into your body and as you do just feel this sense of gratitude of this body.
Just feel for a moment here,
Amazing,
Miraculous.
The purpose of this is to just be alive.
Deepening your breath,
Calling your awareness gently back into your body.
The awareness comes back into the space that you occupy,
Back to your senses,
Breathing a little heavier and deeper now.
All of that pure source,
Divine energy into your field,
Recharged,
Reset.
Start to wiggle into the fingers,
Into the toes.
As you move into your body,
You feel amazing.
Gently finding your fingers and your toes,
Stretching now into the whole body.
Maybe the arms go overhead and you stretch through the legs,
Into the heels,
Into the toes.
The oneness that you experienced in this meditation is always prevalent.
Whether you see it or not,
Whether you believe it or not,
Whether you are aware of it or not,
This is the true nature of your being.
You are one with all that is.
With this knowing now,
Setting the intention to move through the day with greater awareness that the other person is you,
Offering more understanding,
Love,
Compassion,
Kindness to the world,
To you for all that exists.
Dear one is you.
You are one with all that is.
This is the truth.
Gently blinking the eyes open to the room.
