Grounding In Nature

Join me for a guided meditation to ground you in nature. This meditation is best practiced outside in nature to help you during the full moon, for times of stress, times where you feel unsteady, disconnected and ungrounded.

Hello and welcome to your meditation. My name is Laura. This meditation is written by myself. Thank you for joining me today. This meditation is best practiced outdoors where you can ground yourself if you're feeling a little anxious, Unsteady, Or disconnected. Take a moment and allow yourself to get comfortable. Whether you're seated upright. Or laying down. As you start to arrive here. Begin to notice your breath. Not changing anything about how you're breathing. Just simply notice your breath. Bring your awareness to any of the sounds that are around you. Maybe you hear the sound of the trees blowing in the wind. The birds chirping. The sound of crickets in the grasses or bushes surrounding you. Noticing any of the sounds of nature that are surrounding you. In this moment. Now begin to notice any of the smells of nature lingering in the air. The smell of the trees. The smell of the grass. The smells of the earth. Noticing all of the smells of nature that are present to you in this moment. And bring your awareness to the air surrounding you. Hearing the sound of the air. Feeling the temperature of the air. Noticing the sensations the air leaves on your skin. Noticing the air surrounding you in nature in this present moment. And turn your attention to the base of your spine. With the bottom of your spinal cord. Meets your tailbone. Anchoring you to the earth below you. Imagine at the base of your spine. You'll have roots growing. These roots running deep down past the surface underneath you. Down through the soil. Deep down into the rocks. Down into the center of the core of the earth. These roots are connecting you directly to Mother Earth herself. As you feel these roots running down from the base of your spine. All the way into the center of the earth. Begin to imagine that as you breathe in, Your breath is coming up from the center of the earth. Traveling up your roots. All the way into the base of your spine. And as you breathe out. Feel your breath traveling down the base of your spine. Down deep into the center of the earth. Inhaling from the center of the earth. All the way up your roots. To the base of your spine. Exhaling from the base of your spine. All the way down to the center of the earth. Keep breathing in this pattern for several more rounds of breath. You are simply breathing with the earth. And as you continue to breathe with the earth. Imagine now that you start to let go of anything that no longer serves you. Sending it down with your breath. Back down into the center of the earth. Allowing Mother Earth to receive all that does not serve you. All that you've been carrying forth. All that you wish to let go of. Letting Mother Earth carry any of your burdens. Dressers. Worries and fears. Let it all go. Send it back down into the earth. Feel the earth receiving all of this now Allow now in this moment as you continue to breathe with the earth. Allow yourself to receive nourishment from the earth. Drawing this nourishment up from the center of the earth. Up through your roots. Up into the base of your spine. Receiving all of the goodness the earth has to give you. Support and action. Energy. Protection. Love. Centering. Healing. Safety. Keep breathing with the earth. Keep receiving all of her nourishment. Allow yourself to simply receive. Noticing what other gifts she has to give you. And come back to the space around you. Noticing the sounds. Smells. The air. Feel yourself fully immersed and grounded in nature in this moment. Feel yourself purely connected to the earth. You are the Earth. When you're ready. Gently open up your eyes. Giving thanks to Mother Earth herself. And giving thanks to you for your practice of grounding in nature. From my heart to yours. Namaste.
