Close your eyes.
I welcome you to this grounding meditation where we will focus on balancing the Muladhara chakra,
Also known as the root chakra.
This energy center is associated with trust and stability.
It's the very foundation that we need to survive before we can even think about thriving.
Now take a moment to make yourself comfortable.
Be firmly planted on the groin or a chair with a quiet spine and relaxed shoulders.
We'll begin by tapping into the breath.
So taking a deep inhale through the nose and exhale release.
Inhaling,
Feeling the air filling your body and exhale release.
Let it go.
This time inhaling a sense of trust within yourself and exhale release that trust into the atmosphere around you.
Now take a moment to notice the parts of you in contact with the earth.
Maybe that's your legs,
Your feet or your back.
Focus on these parts which are supporting you completely.
Notice how you are supported by the earth.
Whatever happens in life,
Even if we fall,
The earth is always there to catch us.
Now notice the parts of you that are not in contact with the earth.
What can you feel on these parts of your body?
Are there any sensations or the feeling of clothes or hair?
Now notice the gravity on these parts.
Instead of feeling like gravity is a weight upon you,
Try to see that gravity as the earth holding you,
As the earth keeping you stable.
See how gravity hugs you,
How it protects you,
Even as you're in your own space,
You're protected by the atmosphere in which you sit.
Now take a moment of gratitude.
A moment of gratitude for all that you have.
This body of yours carries out everything that is necessary to keep you thriving.
This planet was made in alignment with you and all of your energy.
Now envision yourself walking into a beautiful lush forest.
This forest is a safe space in which only you have access to.
Take a walk through the forest amidst the trees.
As you look up,
You see the luscious canopy of trees above you.
And the sun glimmers through the leaves landing on your skin.
You notice the far off tint of blue as the sky peeks through the leaves.
And you notice that the trees are all abundant in fruit.
The earth beneath your feet is rich in nutrients.
What kind of fruits can you see?
What colors are they?
Maybe you even pick some of the fruit and taste the juicy sweetness.
As you move deeper into the forest,
You notice a large oak tree.
You admire the spirals on the trunk of the tree.
And as its leaves gently rustle in the breeze.
Take a walk over to this beautiful oak tree and take a seat down beside it.
As you sit under this oak tree,
You feel the wisdom reverberate through you.
How do you feel sitting under this beacon of wisdom?
As you look around,
You see the most divine dark red flowers blossoming around you.
As you breathe,
Notice how the flowers breathe with you.
What type of flowers are they?
What shape are their petals?
Can you smell their scent?
These beautiful flowers are flourishing in this forest created by you.
These flowers are growing and thriving from your energy.
They trust in you to feed them with your energy.
And you trust the flowers to blossom.
Everything in perfect harmony.
You will always have enough in this abundant nature of your soul.
Envision one of these flowers at the base of your spine.
Bright red in color,
Almost glowing from the pure energy around it.
Feel as its crimson petals nourish you with the bounty of safety and protection that you need.
With each breath you feed this luscious flower,
Becoming more and more connected to your haven in the forest.
You are at one with creation.
You are a part of this magnificent forest of your soul.
Now stay in this space for some time,
Exploring the beauty that you are immersed in.
Notice as the more you nourish yourself,
The more you connect with the red glowing flower.
If your mind begins to wander,
Just direct it back into the blissful forest.
Your divine energy has created this space and holds it here always for you.
Take a moment to remember that you are creation itself.
Your inner world is a place of abundance and you have everything that you really need within yourself.
Now bring some awareness back to your body.
Maybe wriggle your fingers or your toes.
Take a deep breath.
Now gently wrap your arms around yourself as if you're giving yourself a hug.
Feel a sense of gratitude and love.
Staying here for as long as you wish.
Have the most beautiful day.
And move back into this space of safety and abundance within you,
Whenever you need.
