As Earth Day approaches,
We collectively heal our Sacred Mother by coming together in the space behind space,
Meeting in oneness,
Rippling healing intentions throughout collective consciousness.
Please take a moment to find a comfortable position,
Either sitting up or lying down,
Whatever is available to you in this moment.
If you are in a reclined position,
You may want to use a pillow under your knees or head for additional support.
Now that you have found a comfortable seat,
Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose,
Holding briefly,
And release through your mouth,
Expelling all of the life-giving air from the depths of your lungs.
Let's do that two more times at your own pace.
Now allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm.
Our breath is our anchor and our connection to the vast natural realms of the Earth,
A continuous cycle between flora,
The wholeness of the Earth,
Part of the oxygen cycle.
With your awareness on your breath,
Follow its flow in and out.
Become aware as it flows out into the world.
The carbon dioxide giving life to the flora as they transform it into oxygen for all fauna.
Water aids movement of oxygen between the atmosphere,
Biosphere,
And lithosphere.
In the atmosphere,
Oxygen is a component of water molecule 2O,
Which is essential for all living organisms and various biochemical processes.
Rocks contribute to the oxygen cycle through the process of weathering.
During weathering,
Rocks release minerals and ions that are essential for the growth of plants in the production of oxygen through photosynthesis.
Minerals such as iron and magnesium are crucial components of chlorophyll,
The green pigment in plants that enables photosynthesis.
This process is vital for generating oxygen as a byproduct.
Each of these,
Not often thought about,
Are integral parts of the life cycle of Mother Earth,
All in harmony,
Sustaining life on our sacred planet.
As our modern practices do not often align with the natural processes of nature,
This creates dissonance or a discordant vibration in the natural order of things.
When we come together in collective consciousness,
Directing our field of energy in unity,
We create a more coherent vibration which leads to healing.
Let us take a moment now to connect with the Earth energies residing beneath us.
Feel the ground supporting you.
Visualize roots extending from your body deep into the soil.
You are part of this living planet,
And your intentions contribute to its healing.
Imagine a golden light flowing down from the sky,
Entering the crown of your head,
Filling your entire body.
This solar energy creates coherence within your sacred vessel,
For we are light.
The natural processes of the body all begin at the subatomic level.
Allow the warming solar light to resonate through your vessel,
Beginning at the crown of your head.
Notice any sensations or feelings in this area.
You may feel warmth,
Tingling,
Or simply the weight of your head resting on your pillow.
Allow your breath to soften any tension in this area as you continue to breathe deeply.
As you focus on the crown of your head,
Visualize a sense of relaxation spreading from this point,
Soothing every muscle,
Releasing any stress or tension.
With each breath,
Let the sensation of relaxation extend down to your forehead and eye.
Feel the sensation of ease move into your shoulders,
Down your arms to the tips of each finger.
Your upper back relaxes as the light moves through to your chest and abdomen.
Sense your thighs relax,
Your knees and calves.
The solar energy moves into your ankles and feet,
Tingling each toe as this light continues to travel through the roots deep into Mother Earth.
Take a few moments to simply breathe and be present with the feeling of relaxation.
Feel rooted and connected to Mother Earth.
Now visualize the Earth as a vibrant living being.
Picture the majestic oceans teeming with marine life.
The lush green forests verdant with flora and fauna.
The towering mountains reaching up towards the sky.
And every creature,
Big and small,
Coexisting harmoniously.
Send waves of love and gratitude towards the Earth.
Thank her for her abundance,
Beauty,
And resilience.
Now allow your awareness to return to your breath.
Inhale deeply,
Imagining you are drawn in pure,
Healing energy.
As you exhale,
Release any negativity or pollution you have absorbed.
Picture this energy transforming into light and returning to the Earth,
Purifying her.
Rest here for a moment in sacred exchange of healing energy with Mother Earth.
Now imagine a radiant green light surrounding the Earth.
This light represents healing energy.
With each breath,
See this light growing brighter and expanding,
Enveloping the entire planet.
Visualize the energy healing wounds,
Restoring balance,
And rejuvenating ecosystems.
Repeat these affirmations silently or aloud.
I am a steward of the Earth,
And I honor in sacredness.
Send love and healing energy to every corner of the planet.
May the Earth thrive,
And may all beings find harmony.
Now envision a global network of people joining you in this meditation.
See their hearts connecting,
Creating a web of healing energy.
Together we amplify the intention for Earth's well-being.
Slowly return your awareness to the present moment.
Continue to deepen your breath,
The breath that sustains and connects us in coherent resonance.
You may bring small movements to your fingers and toes,
Sensing the subtle energy stirring there.
When you are ready,
You may open your eyes.
Carry this sense of connection and stewardship with you throughout your day.
Remember,
Healing Mother Earth begins within each of us.
Let your intentions ripple out,
Knowing that small acts of love and care contribute to the greater whole.
May our collective intentions bring healing and renewal to our beautiful planet.
Namaste.
