Find yourself in a comfortable position.
Sitting up can be supportive so you don't fall asleep.
However,
If you need to lay down that's fine.
My favorite posture is in a chair with my legs just each planted on the ground in a normal seated position.
And so closing your eyes and setting an intention to keep your eyes closed for the remainder of this meditation and to keep your body perfectly still.
The stillness allows a cultivation of energy.
And so begin by taking three deep breaths and sighing into the heart.
Breathing in through the nose.
Making a deep sigh and with each sigh feel a connection with the center of your heart.
Feel a sense of joy and love within your heart.
Continuing to breathe and sighing if you need.
Letting go of any thoughts,
Any to-do's,
Any needs and allowing yourself to sink into a state of presence.
And thinking of someone you love deeply.
Maybe it's an animal,
A person,
A memory.
And cultivate that warm,
Joyful,
Pleasant sensation that love inspires within.
And so imagine within your heart a tiny star as if it's a distant star in the night sky.
Feel it,
Imagine it,
Know it to be something.
And imagine it growing brighter as if the star is getting closer and closer within the center of your chest.
This star growing brighter and more expansive.
This golden white light.
Allow yourself to be centered in this star and this light.
This representation of your true nature and true self.
Feeling that love of your spirit.
Bringing your awareness now to the bottom of your feet.
Feeling your feet,
Feeling your toes,
Your heels,
The bones,
The skin,
All the pieces of your feet.
Feeling a connection to the earth beneath you.
And as you feel your feet,
Allowing yourself to relax.
Feeling your legs,
Feeling your shins,
Your knees,
Your hips,
Your thighs.
Feeling your legs like two giant tap roots of a tree.
Bringing your awareness to the bottom of your feet once again.
And imagining little roots growing out of the bottom of your feet.
Perhaps you see many roots or just one or a few big roots.
Whatever image is perfect.
Feeling these roots connect with the ground beneath you.
Feeling them slowly go downward through the floor of your house.
Meeting the soil beneath.
Feeling these roots dig and spiral and connect downward to the beautiful mother earth.
Feeling them grow down into the soil,
Through the rocks,
The sediment.
Feeling them go through any sand,
The different layers of the earth.
Feeling them go deeper and deeper until you touch water,
The deep pure water of the earth.
Feel your roots touch the cool,
Damp,
Moist water.
Feeling them grow stronger with this beautiful nourishment.
Taking a few breaths,
Connecting to this water.
Now allowing your roots to grow deeper through the water.
Deeper still through the different layers of rock and stone.
Deeper and deeper and deeper until they reach the magma,
The fiery turning of the earth.
Feeling the strength of your roots moving through this fiery core of you.
Growing deeper and deeper until they reach the very center of the earth.
The very core which is actually a miniature sun,
Like a nuclear core within you.
Feeling your roots touch and nourish,
Connect to this nuclear core.
Feeling its power,
Its love.
This is like the spirit of the earth in the very center,
A place of pure potential,
Pure love and power.
As your roots touch the very center and wrap around this core,
We ask that the mother earth nourishes us with her love,
Her compassion,
Her joy,
Her peace and beauty.
We ask her to help us understand respect.
Mother earth,
Help us understand respect.
Help us understand boundaries in a healthy,
Loving way.
Staying with a few breaths connected to the core,
Receiving her wisdom,
Her power,
Her beauty.
Emerge.
So,
Beginning now to breathe up all this energy,
Keeping your roots connected to her,
And begin to breathe up all this loving,
Positive energy.
Feel it coming up through the layers of molten and magma.
Feel it coming up through the roots,
Through the rock and stone,
Through those deep waters,
Through the rocks and sand,
Up through the soil,
Through the floor of your house,
And feeling it come up to the very bottom of your feet.
Feel it come up through your toes,
Your ankles,
Your heels,
This beautiful,
Loving,
Divine nourishment of the earth,
Up through your shins,
Like a beautiful golden light,
Filling your knees,
Your thighs,
Up through your hips,
Filling your sacral,
The womb,
Your digestive organs,
Filling you up all the way to the top of the solar plexus and the stomach,
Through the chest,
Meeting and mixing with that beautiful golden star within the heart,
Spilling up over through your arms and your shoulders,
All the way down to the palms of your hands,
Each finger.
Feeling this energy fill you through your neck,
Your throat,
The base of your skull,
Filling your head,
Filling your ears,
Your eyes,
Your mouth and nose,
And spilling over like a fountain through the top of your head,
Taking a few moments to breathe with this beautiful,
Loving energy of the earth,
Feeling this connection with the very center of the earth and all the layers of the earth,
Centering yourself back in the heart and taking three deep breaths and sighing into the heart,
Breathing into the heart.
And whenever you feel complete and ready,
Opening your eyes,
Coming back to the room.
