Welcome to this grounding meditation that is meant to help take you away from the busyness and craziness of the outside world,
The society,
And all of the upward mobility,
And bring you internally back home,
Back to the earth,
Back in your two feet,
Back in your humanness,
And back in your groundedness.
So go ahead and get seated,
Sit bones rooted into the ground,
Legs rooted into the ground,
Bottoms of the feet rooted into the ground in any way that you are comfortable.
And let's begin with breathing in and out,
In and out.
Breathing in again,
And as you exhale,
Just feeling your body settling into the space underneath you,
Feeling the gravity pulling you downwards toward the earth,
Feeling your heart beating in your chest,
And feeling that pull of gravity towards the earth,
That loving pull of gravity,
Reminding you that the earth is always holding you,
The earth is always loving you,
And you are never far from this sense of groundedness,
Of tuning in,
Of finding all of the infinite abundance in this moment right now.
Breathing in.
And as you breathe in,
Noticing any smells,
Noticing any tastes on the tongue,
Noticing any sounds around you,
Allowing your ears to open to the sounds of the earth around you in this moment,
And even gently opening your eyes if they were closed to just take in the color,
The shape,
The light,
The shadow,
And the form around you,
Grounding into your humanness and all of the ways in which we take in this planet around us.
Start to become aware of the place where your body touches the earth underneath you,
The clothes on your skin,
Perhaps your pants around your waist,
Your shirt clinging to your top.
Maybe you can even feel any jewelry on your wrist,
Fingers,
Neck.
Maybe you can even feel every hair on your head.
Becoming aware of everything that is touching you,
Connecting you to this planet.
And as you exhale,
Tuning back into the security of the earth underneath you,
Holding you,
Your home.
And starting to breathe into your root chakra a few inches below your tailbone.
And as you breathe into that space,
We'll activate a beautiful red lotus blossoming there,
Activating your root chakra,
Visualizing that you are sitting in this beautiful red lotus,
Feeling the heat and the sensation and the color of this lotus blossoming in your root.
And as you breathe into it,
Start to see this thick red root growing down from the tailbone into the earth,
Down,
Down,
Down into the crust of our planet and seeing that root grow these long stretches of more roots and more roots across,
Deeper down.
And feeling those roots of who you are getting deeper into the earth,
Connecting you to this planet,
Bringing you home,
Breathing in,
Allowing yourself to ground even deeper and allowing the earth to bring you whatever medicine you need today through this red root that is coming into your spine.
And as we breathe into this root and settle into this red lotus chakra spinning underneath us,
We can start to allow these beautiful green vines from the earth start to make their way up around the legs,
Around the torso.
Whatever beautiful green vinery you are seeing starts to grow up around the belly,
Up the spinal cord,
Curving over the shoulders and the arms and maybe even as those vines start to wrap around the head,
You start to see beautiful flowers blossoming above you.
As if you are just allowing the earth to pull you deeper into its embrace and cover you in these healing grounding vines and reminding you that you are never far from the earth.
You are the same as the earth,
Breathing in these green vines,
Breathing into that red root and allowing the earth to hold you now.
You are safe,
You are grounded,
You are fully embodied in your human.
Taking a few more minutes to just sit in this space,
Allowing the love of gravity to pull you deeper into the earth's embrace and allowing the earth underneath you to be like a magnet pulling anything out of you that isn't needed now.
At your next exhale,
Let it go,
Let the earth take it from you.
Allowing these vines and flowers wrapped around you to give you any healing,
Any blessings and any soothing that you need today.
Remembering that you are not separate from the earth,
You were born from this earth and Mother Earth is always holding you and loving you and always calling you back home to this moment.
When you feel grounded,
You can open your eyes again,
Look around this space and go on about your day feeling more centered,
More at ease,
More human in your body and more grounded in your root chakra.
Thank you for being here,
I'll see you again soon.
