Let yourself get comfortable,
Either lying down or in a supported seat.
Let your body be held.
Make any small adjustments so you feel just a little more at ease.
Begin by noticing your breath.
No need to change it yet.
Just feel it moving in and out.
Take three slow breaths,
A little deeper than usual.
Inhale.
Feel the lungs.
Exhale.
Let go of the day so far.
Inhale,
Invite spaciousness.
Exhale.
Release any gripping.
Inhale.
All right.
Exhale.
Land.
Bring your awareness down into the base of your spine,
Your six bones,
Your legs,
Your feet.
Imagine a warm,
Steady red glow at the base of your spine.
The root chakra.
This is the part of you that knows how to belong,
How to survive.
How to stand on the sacred ground.
We are more supported.
Silently repeat to yourself.
I am here.
I am safe enough in this moment.
I belong on this earth.
Now from the base of your spine and the soles of your feet,
Imagine roots gently growing down into the earth.
They don't have to go far,
Just enough to feel connected.
Feel those roots meeting the deep,
Steady energy of the earth.
That they are say to you.
You are held,
You can rest.
Breathe that in.
Now let your awareness travel down along your roots to a point about 6 to 12 inches below your feet.
Here,
Imagine a small,
Steady sphere of light in the earth.
Your Earth Star Chakra.
It may look like a deep red,
Ruby,
Smokey quartz,
Or any earthy color that feels right to you.
This Earth star is your anchor in the planet.
Your connection to the land beneath you.
To your ancestors.
To all who have walked here before.
Feel this earth star gently glowing and imagine your roots connecting directly into it.
With each exhale,
Allow any extra tension,
Worry,
Or static to drain from your body through your roots into the earth star.
The Earth knows how to receive and transform what you no longer need.
Silently affirm.
I am rooted.
I am connected to the living earth.
I am supported from below.
Now imagine,
From the root chakra at the base of your spine,
A thread of light extending downward.
From your root.
Your pelvis,
Legs,
And feet.
Down through your roots.
All the way into your Earth Star Chakra.
See or sense this as a luminous thread.
Red,
Gold,
Or whatever color feels like home to you.
You are connected.
Root to Urster.
Body to earth.
Present moment to deep time.
Notice with each inhale,
Your root receives support.
With each exhale,
Your ursta holds and stabilizes you.
Inhale.
Receive.
Exhale,
Root.
Now,
From that strong connection below,
Sense threads of light gently awakening within you.
Threads along your spine.
Threads branching through your arms and hands.
Threads through your legs and feet.
It's connecting root to earth star,
Body.
To earth,
Heart to ground.
These threads gently brighten as if they are remembering themselves.
No forcing,
Just soft illumination.
If you like,
Silently repeat.
Light flows through me.
I am held by the earth.
It belonged to this web of light.
Imagine that any places of heaviness,
Worry,
Or tension are simply being touched by these threads of light.
With warmth and care.
Bring your awareness back to the simple feeling of your body resting.
Notice your contact with the ground.
Notice the weight of your bones.
Notice the rhythm of your breath.
Hail your roots in the earth.
Feel your Earth Star Chakra glowing steadily below you.
Feel the threads of light connecting everything inside you to the support beneath you.
Take three slow,
Nourishing breaths.
Inhale.
Receive.
Exhale,
Ground,
Steadiness.
Inhale here.
Exhale now.
When you're ready,
Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes.
If your eyes are closed,
Let in just a little bit of light.
Carry this sense of being rooted,
Held and woven into the living earth into the rest of your day.
