Welcome.
I'm glad you're here.
This Earth Day meditation is an invitation to reconnect with the Earth and your own heart.
And so often we move through life really disconnected from both,
But today we slow down and remember.
And while this meditation is inspired by Earth Day,
It can be practiced any time you want to slow down,
Reconnect,
And honor the Earth.
So in this meditation you'll be guided with intention.
Offering something meaningful to the world and allowing that same energy to reflect back to you.
So take a moment to settle in.
And when you're ready,
We'll begin.
Begin by finding a comfortable position.
Seated or lying down.
And let your body soften.
Take a slow breath in through your nose.
And exhale gently out your mouth.
Again inhale.
And exhale.
Releasing any tension.
Releasing the day.
And one more time.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Let your shoulders drop.
Your jaw unclench.
And your body settle.
And now imagine that you are standing in the most beautiful place in the world.
And let it reveal itself to you.
Maybe it's somewhere you've been or somewhere your soul recognizes.
And you are standing at the edge of this place.
And just in front of you is a body of water.
It's still and expansive.
And reflecting the sky.
Take a moment to notice everything around you.
The temperature of the air on your skin.
The colors in the sky.
The sounds of birds and wind and water.
You are safe here.
You are held and grounded here.
Now gently bring your awareness down to the ground beneath you.
And as you look down you notice a small smooth perfectly round stone.
About the size of a tennis ball.
And you pick it up and you feel its weight in your hand.
Its coolness and its texture.
And as you look at the stone you notice there is a word engraved in it.
This word is your wish for the world.
And let that word come to you naturally without force.
Maybe it's peace.
Maybe it's healing.
Maybe it's justice or love.
Whatever it is,
Trust it.
Now hold the stone close to your heart.
And begin to feel that word.
Not just think it,
But actually feel it in your chest.
Let it expand through your entire body.
Let it move through your arms.
Into your hands.
And into the stone.
You are charging this stone with intention.
With energy.
With truth.
When you're ready gently draw your arm back.
And throw the stone into the water.
And watch it land.
Notice the ripples expanding outward.
Wider and wider.
Carrying your intention into the water.
Into the earth.
Into the world.
And now notice something.
As these ripples move outward they also begin to reflect back to you.
What you offer returns.
Your wish for the world is also a wish for yourself.
Let that fully land.
Now again look down.
And there is another stone.
And you can use the same word or a new one.
And repeat this process.
Feeling and charging.
And releasing.
Sending ripple after ripple.
Intention after intention.
And take your time here.
And now allow the stones to be complete.
And bring your awareness back to the water.
Fully alive.
Covered in gentle endless ripples.
And expanding so far that they reach beyond what you can see.
Until it feels like the entire earth is vibrating.
With waves of love.
Waves of your intention.
And now take in your surroundings one more time.
The sun is beginning to set.
Golden light stretching across the water.
Butterflies moving through the air.
Birds are singing.
And life is all around you.
Feel the beauty of this planet.
And the support of it beneath you.
Place one hand on your heart.
And the other on your belly.
And in your own way offer gratitude.
Thank you earth.
Thank you mother.
Thank you for holding me.
Supporting me.
Sustaining me.
Take a deep breath in.
And exhale slowly.
Gently begin to return to your body.
Wiggling your fingers and your toes.
And when you're ready open your eyes.
