Welcome to the guided meditation,

Grounding in times of stress.

If you haven't already,

I invite you to find a quiet,

Safe space for meditation.

And if it feels right for you,

Allow your eyes to gently close.

Settling into your most comfortable position,

Simply permitting this time for yourself,

Just for you,

To settle,

To soften,

Returning within.

Drawing in fresh,

Cleansing breath at your own pace.

As you exhale,

Release any tension the body has been holding.

Noticing the support under your body,

Your chair,

Your pillow,

Your bed,

Your floor.

Allowing the body to sink deeper into that support,

Reaffirming it is safe for you to pause,

The outer world fading,

Going deeper within.

In your mind's eye,

I invite you to imagine your lower body shifting into a sturdy tree trunk,

Firmly planted in healthy,

Nurturing soil.

With healthy and robust roots extending out and down into the earth.

Extending your roots deeper into the earth.

Deeper and deeper.

And as they grow and extend,

They connect with other healthy roots,

Connecting energy,

Transferring energy,

Releasing and receiving vital life force energy,

A network of support and support,

Pulsating and radiating loving,

Life-giving and life-supporting energy.

Reaching for your roots,

She draws them back into her heart,

Returning you back to the oneness of nature,

Back to your inner home.

Allow your entire system to draw up Mother Earth's energy,

Receiving the infinite love and healing you are so deserving of.

No longer lost,

No longer restricting or hungry for support,

Pulling up effortlessly the limitless life force energy from Mother Earth into your vast root system.

Fear,

Anger,

Stress,

Hate,

All transmuted effortlessly by divine love,

Compassion and kindness,

Stuck and unknown,

Dissipates into curiosity and purpose.

The grounding and rooted energy,

The very sustenance your physical and spiritual body has needed is fully available to you,

To support you in opening to inspiration,

To feed your growth with visions cleared of distortions.

Once again,

You are seeing your path,

Your place on this earth and in this universe with keen sight.

Revitalizing energy,

Rekindles your connection to her,

To your highest self and your connection to all that is.

Grounded and replenished,

You turn your face upwards,

Open to drawing in more healing,

Divine energy.

Down from the cosmos,

Pours radiant energy,

Pure luminous light,

Shimmering and cascading down,

Reflecting all colors of the rainbow,

Bright and bold,

Fortified with the heat of the sun,

Silver and gold,

For protection,

Strength,

Resilience.

Reactivating your intuition and reflecting back to you your truest nature,

Your connection to divinity,

The freedom of your spirit.

Arms like branches are extending up to the heavens,

Receiving their limitless light,

Radiating through your physical and energetic body,

Recharging your entire system.

The essence of the sun,

The moon,

The stars,

With direct connection with divine consciousness.

This energy generating buds of insight and higher perspective.

Wisdom blossoming,

Unfurling of renewal and transformation.

This energy,

Limitless and divine,

Has been shared with you for protection.

Dissipating the perceived outer world's pressure,

Stress,

And overwhelm.

Revitalizing your inner courage and strength,

Harnessing your personal leadership and self-authority.

Allow your intentions to be received and integrated into all aspects of your whole self,

For remaining grounded,

Balanced,

And centered.

May you find and follow your soul's path with ease and grace.

With the memory of your ability to find stillness when worry unsettles you.

With the memory of your awareness and power to re-ground,

To center yourself.

When stress and anxiety threaten to untether your roots.

With the memory of your wisest self's ability to rebalance,

Harmonizing,

When any threat to lower your frequency or vibration arises.

With the memory of your gratitude to mother earth,

The sun,

The moon,

The stars,

The vast skies,

And the limitless universe.

You are welcome to stay as long as you'd like within the energy of this meditation,

Or simply know that you can always carry it with you.

Even though it's time to begin releasing this meditation,

Your connection and access to the healing,

Loving energy of grounding remains,

The connection and access to your personal wisdom and resilience always remains.

Begin to return your attention back to your present,

Back to your room,

Back to your body.

Begin to move or adjust the body,

Moving from meditation to full awareness.

And when you're ready,

You may fully release this meditation and open your eyes,

Ready to move through your day,

Grounded,

Centered,

And balanced.

I hope you found this meditation helpful.

As you ground,

You become a grounding force for others.

Together,

We can support each other through tough times,

Especially times of stress,

Because we're always stronger together.

Thank you again for joining me today,

And I look forward to us connecting again in meditation.
