Welcome to the Inner Space Astronomy grounding meditation.
Please find a comfortable place to sit and relax.
Just close your eyes or lower your gaze and begin to notice your breath.
See if you can deepen your breath.
Try to make the inhales and exhales just a little bit longer.
Plant your feet flat into the floor.
Notice if you are lovingly planting a seed into the ground.
And as you continue to breathe deeply,
Your feet begin to take root.
You feel roots growing out of the bottoms of your feet down into the earth.
As these roots grow deeper and deeper down into the earth,
You notice that your body is like a sprout reaching up towards the light.
Your head floats up towards the sky,
Straightening your spine and creating this beautiful balance.
This balance that means that you can be here and now in this space and time exactly as you are.
As your body continues to move towards the light,
The roots continue to grow out of the bottoms of your feet deeper and deeper down into the earth.
Your roots grow so deep that they meet the center of the earth,
Whatever you imagine to be there.
Feel your roots interacting with or wrapping around the center of the earth.
The powerful energy that holds the earth together gets absorbed into your roots and travels up through all of the layers of the earth and into the bottom of your feet.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
This powerfully grounding energy moves around to meet each and every cell in your body.
Notice the way your body feels when you create this connection to the earth.
Know that you can return to this grounded connection anytime you choose.
All you have to do is pause and breathe and your roots will grow down into the earth,
All the way down to the center.
Continue to hold this connection with the earth as you slowly begin to move your fingers and toes.
When you are ready,
You can slowly begin to open your eyes and come back into the room.
Thank you for being here.
