Allow yourself to find a nice,
Comfortable,
Seated position.
I prefer to sit cross-legged on a meditation cushion so that my tailbone is higher than my knees,
Which allows for good posture.
Sitting upright,
But not tense,
Not uptight.
As you settle into your body,
Take a nice,
Deep,
Cleansing breath in through your nose,
Letting your belly expand fully,
And then exhale out through the mouth,
Releasing any tension that you may be holding onto.
Take a few more deep breaths like this.
Each time you breathe in through your nose,
Letting your belly rise,
And breathe out through your mouth,
Allowing your body to soften.
Allow yourself to let go of any expectations or distractions,
Focusing on the simple act of breathing.
With every breath,
Feel yourself sinking deeper into stillness.
Notice how your breath naturally guides you back into the present moment.
If your mind starts to wander,
That's perfectly fine.
Then,
Just gently bring your focus back to your breath.
Imagine that your mind is like a puppy that you're training.
As it walks off of the path,
As it begins to wander,
You gently bring it back.
Back to center,
Back to the breath.
And like a leaf floating down a stream,
Allowing yourself to be carried back into the flow.
As you continue to breathe,
Let the surface ripples of your thoughts begin to settle down,
Softening more and more with each inhale and exhale.
Imagine that the surface of your consciousness is like water,
And as you deepen your breath,
The waves of thought begin to calm.
You find yourself in a space of more profound stillness,
Where the mind's chatter is distant and only the rhythm of your breath remains.
Now,
In this quiet space,
We are going to begin calling in light,
The most refined energy of the cosmos,
From the upper world.
With every inhale,
Imagine light coming down,
Descending down through the crown of your head.
This light is gentle,
Yet powerful,
Flowing down into your body,
Through your skull,
Your neck,
Your shoulders,
Arms,
Chest,
And all the way down to your feet.
Let this cosmic river of light wash over your entire body,
Sweeping away any heaviness,
Any emotional clutter,
Any mental fog,
Any physical discomfort,
Allowing this light to cleanse you,
To clear the channel of your energy body,
So that you may become a clear conduit for divine energy and creative inspiration.
As the light moves through you,
It gathers all the heaviness within your mind,
Your body,
And spirit,
Those lingering thoughts,
The worries,
The fears,
Any blocks that you are holding.
Feel the light purifying and releasing these energies.
Visualize them being gathered up by this flowing light,
And gently flowing down your body,
Through your feet,
And into the earth below.
The earth is waiting to receive these energies,
And as they move through you,
They are offered back as sacred fertilizer.
This act of release is a gift to Mother Earth,
A sacred offering to the land.
Now,
As the heaviness is cleared,
You find that the space around you feels lighter,
More open.
You can feel your energy field expanding,
Welcoming more light,
More possibility.
Next,
Let your awareness move down to your root chakra,
Located at the base of your spine.
From this place,
Envision an anchor that begins to drop down into the earth beneath you.
This anchor is solid and strong,
Extending down through your tailbone,
Through the layers of the earth,
The topsoil,
The clay,
The rock,
The crystals,
Until it reaches the center of the earth.
Feel yourself grounded here,
Deeply anchored in the earth,
Yet still receiving the light from the upper world.
This is the process of becoming a bridge between heaven and earth.
With every inhale,
Feel more rooted in the earth's energy.
With every exhale,
Feel yourself letting go,
Releasing more into the earth as an offering.
As you continue to breathe,
Let your awareness expand to see yourself as a clear conduit now.
A bridge between heaven and earth.
A creative channel.
With every breath,
Imagine the cosmic light flowing through you with ease,
Moving from the upper world,
Through your body,
And down into the earth.
You have now returned to being a clear channel,
As energy flows effortlessly through you.
With each breath,
Allow this flow of energy to continue to deepen,
Becoming more powerful.
Feel yourself becoming both grounded and open.
A clear channel through which the divine can move and work in the world.
Now,
As you sit in this space of deep connection,
Let yourself become aware of the sacred energies around you.
You're connected to the earth below and the sky above and everything in between.
You are the bridge,
The hollow bone,
The channel through which divine energy flows.
Take a moment to silently express your gratitude.
For the light,
For the earth,
For this powerful connection you've cultivated.
Feel the energy within you.
Feel it expanding out.
Filling your heart with warmth and peace.
Let this energy fill you up completely.
Allow it to flow from your heart out into the world.
This regenerative fountain.
Becoming fully present,
Fully grounded,
And fully aligned with your highest self.
And as you begin to bring this practice to a close,
Start to become aware of the space around you again.
Notice how your body feels.
How the energy is now lighter,
More aligned,
More centered.
When you're ready,
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
Bring your awareness back to your physical body.
Take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Feel this energy being anchored within you.
Ready to carry it with you throughout your day.
Remember that you are the bridge.
You can return to this place anytime you need to reconnect.
Take one final deep breath.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Carry this clarity and lightness with you as you move forward.
Knowing that you're always connected,
Always supported,
And always able to return to your true center.
Thank you for taking this journey today.
