Welcome to this grounding meditation.
Sitting comfortably and attentively with your feet connected with the floor.
Take some deep,
Wide breaths,
Allowing the belly to loosen,
Expanding as you inhale and exhaling fully and completely.
As you breathe,
Allow the shoulders to drop and your weight to sink into the chair.
Experience yourself as supported and held.
As you continue to breathe deeply and widely,
Let your awareness travel down from your head all the way to the top.
As you breathe,
Allow the shoulders to drop and your weight to sink into the chair.
Bring your head all the way to your feet.
Be aware of your feet connecting with the ground,
Connecting to what is firm and solid.
Gently push your left foot into the floor and release.
Gently push your right foot into the floor and release.
If your attention travels upwards back to your head,
Gently bring your focus down to your feet once more.
It may help you to place a hand on your belly or your heart to help you stay connected to your body and your heart.
With your attention remaining downwards away from your head,
Simply spend some moments being in and with your body.
Now I invite you to imagine yourself held within the womb of God,
Whatever this may mean for you.
Safe,
Enveloped,
Nourished,
Sustained.
What do you notice externally and internally as you are held within this place?
What's it like to be here?
Do you sense you are being made ready for a new birth?
Do you sense you are in the hidden,
Protected place,
Being nourished as you are restored and healed?
Spend a few moments being present to being held here,
Receiving what you need from God.
What do you notice internally and internally?
When you are ready to return here,
You may want to reflect on your experience,
Knowing that you can return to it at any time.
May you know yourself held and loved within the safety of God's womb.
Amen.
