Let's take a moment to get settled into a comfortable position,
On the floor or on a chair.
Just be sure to sit in a way that your spine can be long and upright.
Try to eliminate all distractions.
As we close our eyes,
Breathing in slowly through the nose and exhaling through the mouth,
Taking this moment to slow down,
To relax into this calm and nurturing space.
Continue to breathe at a gentle and comfortable rate,
Whatever feels natural to you.
Let us focus our attention on grounding and becoming one with nature,
With the earth.
Imagine that we are walking together through the sacred woods.
And bare feet feel each step as we dig into the damp forest floor,
Feeling the cooling and nurturing dirt and mud beneath each stride.
As the sun peaks through the trees,
Feeling the warmth on our cheeks and our face,
We cannot help but smile and breathe a sigh of relief.
Smelling the unmistakable scent of healthy green leaves and fragrant flowers as we softly brush by the wispy branches on the trees,
Swaying gently,
Flowing with the wind.
Noticing the lush and reinvigorating soft touch of the green grass on the bottoms of our feet.
As we approach what appears to be an old,
Ancient even,
Dried up well or pool.
Perished steps stones surround,
Stacked up in a semi-circular structure.
A great place to relax,
To sit and slow down.
We are here,
Present within our body,
Experiencing our reality through our senses.
Aware of our physical connection to this stone we are currently sitting upon.
Checking in with our body from our root,
Flowing from the ground through the soles of our feet.
Feeling the energy of the earth amplified by the cool,
Quartz-filled stone in which we are sitting on.
Filling our bodies with a warm,
Glowing,
White light.
Feeling this light move through our feet,
Through our calves and shins,
Flowing past our knees.
To our hamstrings and thighs,
We're feeling more and more relaxed and grounded.
As this soothing light continues to flow to our hips and sides,
Through our stomach and chest,
Surrounding our heart with a warming embrace.
Radiating throughout our arms,
Hands and fingertips.
As healing light flows back up through our arms to our shoulders,
Our neck,
Drifting up slowly through the back of our head to our face.
Allowing for our teeth to gently separate,
Relaxing our jaw,
Unclenching,
Relaxing deeper.
As our forehead and brow release,
Shedding all stress and tension.
As this light reaches the top of our crown,
Glowing,
Expanding,
Connecting with the ether.
We are connected fully,
Embracing the physical earth with our roots and embodying the electric nature of the energetic earth through our crown.
Fully charged and entwined with the living body of Mother Earth.
Allowing all of our negative energy to be transmuted through her nurturing body.
We are grounded,
Recharged and reinvigorated.
As we bring our attention back to our body,
Gently moving our fingers and toes,
Slowly opening our eyes,
Entering back into this space,
Becoming familiar with our surroundings.
Let us find some time today to be present with nature,
To walk barefoot on the ground,
Even for a brief moment.
Let us give thanks and gratitude for our great Mother Earth.
Bringing our hands to our heart in the prayer position.
Filling this meditation with respect,
Love and light.
Namaste.
