Welcome,
This is Sofia Elijah and I'm sharing today a grounding meditation.
Grounding is such an important practice,
Is I would say the most important practice you can do for yourself.
When you're grounded you are in alignment with yourself.
You are in direct connection with the energy of source,
With the earth and the solar energy as well.
You're also,
It's like you are drawing a circle around yourself where it's like this is where I am,
This is where I stand.
You can literally feel your feet planted on the earth and you're claiming this is your space.
And in this space this is where you are.
And so while when you are grounded you are holding clear boundaries for yourself and for others and therefore for others.
You are prioritizing yourself than another.
You are in the embodiment of yourself.
You're actively observing your own stream of consciousness by being present with yourself and not separated from another.
You are in deep connection with who you are without letting the outside world distract you from either your emotions,
Your body.
And so a practice of when you feel disconnected,
When you feel triggered by a situation,
Always think about your feet.
Where are my feet?
So your feet will help you return to your body.
Sometimes in the process of analyzing a situation we go into our head and returning into our heart,
Into your embodiment,
Your feet will be your allies to help you root and ground.
So just this meditation is the teachings of a sacred tree.
When I was living on this island I would meditate every morning by this tree.
I would place my back on the tree of the trunk of this tree and suddenly one morning the tree began to guide my meditation and gave me a beautiful insight that I will be sharing with you today and that it has stayed with me throughout my life and I know it will transform your life.
So grounding is the most important practice you can do for yourself because it creates clear boundaries,
It prioritizes yourself and you align with your own source of energy.
You align with source energy and you align with your own source of energy and therefore you are in direct connection with your creative flow.
And just as trees,
If you think of a tree,
The most important thing for the tree is to develop strong roots.
A tree without strong roots it will easily be tumbled and broken and just blown away.
It's the same thing for us,
We are also energetic beings and we are grounded in this physical body as such a beautiful experience to experience this way of living,
This way of life.
And so by staying grounded you will see that you'll begin to be able to maintain that space of connectedness with yourself without allowing any external situations to get you out of your center or balance or disrupt your harmony,
Disrupt your balance.
And so this is a daily practice and just as any muscle,
Anything that you are learning it's a continual practice.
I continue to practice and learn about grounding and staying embodied in myself every day.
And so let's begin and let's begin by finding a comfortable position where you won't be disturbed.
I would encourage you to find a place where you can actually maybe place your back towards a wall or just simply a place where you can place your back erect and yet be relaxed.
If you find a wall where you can place your back,
You can also place the soul of your feet on the earth with the knees bended.
If not you can just simply sit down with crossed legs and both ways are okay.
So let's begin.
Taking a deep breath in and just simply noticing your breath in and out,
Allowing your breath to guide you,
To guide your meditation,
To guide you into a deepened state of relaxation and inner peace.
And I will invite you to bring in and allow a sacred tree to come and join you in this meditation and at the beginning we'll feel the trunk of this magnificent tree at your back and the tree is allowing you to place your back against it and it will provide you with some support.
And so the trunk of this tree is behind your back and your frontal,
Your entire core is in alignment with the trunk of the tree.
Beautiful and so we'll begin to allow the breath to gently and continue to guide the meditation.
We'll begin to focus our breath into our heart,
Feeling the rhythm of your heartbeat and bringing the energy and awareness down into your solar plexus,
Down into your sacral and down into the base,
Your root chakra.
And from your root chakra and from the sole of your feet,
You're going to begin to grow roots down into the core of the earth.
And as the roots continue to grow down into the depth of the earth,
Allow the energy to continue going to new levels of depth.
And when you feel that you have reached the deepest point of the earth,
That you can't go any further,
I invite you to take a deep breath in and as you exhale,
You will begin to see that the roots find a new way and are able to find new levels of depth and find a way to continue going deeper and deeper into the earth,
Into the core of the earth.
And so continue to go deep,
Deep and deep,
Down and down,
Deeper into the core of the earth,
Your roots continue to go downwards.
And as you find a new level where you feel you can't go any further,
That you have reached the furthest point,
Invite the breath again to fill in your body and find again new levels of depth.
The roots continue to find a way to move through and continue to go even deeper into the core of the earth,
Allow simply your awareness and observation to continue to go downwards,
Deeper into the earth and acknowledging that I am here,
Deep into the earth,
I am here,
Deep into the core of the earth.
My roots continue to grow deeper and deeper and as you find another place where you feel that you have reached the deepest point,
Invite the breath once again and continue to ground,
To go and find new levels of depth,
Your roots continue to grow deeper.
As you know a tree that contains deep roots,
It has found its own stability by growing and finding its own connection to itself.
And as you continue to move your awareness,
Your roots downwards towards the core of the earth,
There's a moment that there's a light,
Your roots begin to sparkle with light just as a nervous system within your body that contains these roots,
These pathways and exchange this electric charge in your nervous system.
The same thing happens within your root system,
Down deep into the earth and this is the exchange of the earth electromagnetic field.
The earth is sending you nourishment and energy through your root system and this energy begins to rise up through your roots,
All the way up through the sole of your feet,
Your legs,
Your root chakra up your spine,
Cleansing your root chakra,
Filling your root chakra with light and cleansing any blockages and restriction,
Rising up through your inner,
Your central channel,
Clearing anything,
Disrupting your energetic system of your sacral chakra,
Rising up to your solar plexus,
Your heart,
Your throat,
Your third eye and your crown.
And this energy is rising up deep from the earth,
The core of the earth as a column of light,
As a channel.
And I invite you to make this column of light as wide as it feels most comfortable to you,
You can widen it as whatever size and length you wish to,
You want to.
This column of light is all around you,
Charging your body with energy,
Rising from the depth of the earth through your root system all the way up to the sole of your feet,
Your central channel,
And all the sub channels,
All the side channels,
Your arms,
Your neck,
Your head,
Rising up all the way from your crown.
And from your crown you see you begin to see that branches begin to open up.
And from your head branches open up into the sky into the light into and towards the sun without effort,
With no effort at all.
Naturally as you are focusing and bringing your awareness downwards,
Your root system it continues to go downwards into the core of the earth.
Naturally at the same time the earth is sending energy upwards towards your root system,
Towards your body,
All the way up,
Through your head,
Through your branch system above your head,
Into the sun and towards the sun.
And as your branches reach the sun,
The sun begins to send solar energy down your branch system.
This energy begins to descend down through your branch system,
Into your crown chakra,
Into your head,
Your throat,
Your arms,
Your body,
Your central channel,
Clearing and cleansing all your chakras,
Going down all the way down to your base,
Your legs.
And this energy is now flowing through your root system,
Reaching the core of the earth.
And so you are this connector between heaven and earth,
And heaven and earth as electric beings are charging you.
Just as the batteries charge with the positive and negative charge,
The sun and the earth are charging you,
Your body,
Your energetic system.
So continue to see this column of light flowing upwards from the earth all the way up,
Around your body and through your body.
And this column of light flowing down from the sun,
All the way down into your body and through your body and make this column of light as wide as it is comfortable and most comfortable to you.
Remain your awareness in the deepening of your roots.
Continue deepening your roots.
When you find that your roots have found the deepest point,
Invite new breath in and continue to deepen into new levels of depth into the core of the earth.
Continue to see the light,
The energy of the earth rising up through your root system while at the same time you continue to move downwards through your root system.
And as this energy continues to rise through your body,
All the way up through your head,
Through your crown chakra,
Through the branches above your head,
Connecting you to the sun energy and from the sun that beautiful radiant golden infinite charge of the sun flowing downwards through your branch system,
Into your body and into the earth.
This is that continual energy flow.
Of replenishment and rebalancing.
This is the energy you want to take into the world.
Now bringing your attention into your solar plexus and allowing the energy of the earth to rise into your solar plexus and the energy of the sun to descend and concentrate at your solar plexus,
Replenishing and cleansing and clearing.
Without effort,
Simply allow the energy to nourish the center and as it continues to nourish the center you begin to see that the light begins to strengthen and concentrate and strengthen.
It starts to begin brighter and brighter,
Extending from your back and your front,
Lighting up your entire body,
Lighting up your entire surrounding,
Your room where you are,
Your neighborhood,
Your province,
All the way your country,
Remaining centered in your body,
In the embodiment of your body and seeing this light.
This light is simply being concentrated with more light,
Simply by allowing the energy of the sun to nourish this chakra and by allowing the energy of the earth to nourish this chakra and to charge it.
So there is no effort here,
You are just simply allowing.
You are raising the energy of your light by staying on this energy of groundedness,
Of love,
Of presence,
Of light,
Of remaining grounded in your own and respecting your own boundaries and who you are.
This is the way you are opening a new way of being by leading by example.
Sometimes the most loving act you can do is saying no to somebody by respecting your energy and prioritizing yourself,
Your own wellbeing,
Knowing that love and wellbeing is your natural state of being,
That health is your natural state of being,
Connectedness and abundance.
You are in a place where you are in direct connection with your own source.
So now bringing the awareness that you are a magnificent tree,
You had become this tree,
A tree that is magnificent with deep,
Deep,
Deep grounded roots that go to the most depth of the earth and are in direct connection with the core of the earth,
With the consciousness of the earth and expand towards the sides and the earth itself.
This is the most clear aspect of your health.
This is where you are in deep connection with this world and at the same time your trunk naturally grows upwards through this connection of growing downwards into the depth of your being.
As you know yourself,
As you know your depth,
As you know yourself in the depths of your own being,
Your trunk and your branches grow naturally outwards into the world.
You had become this beautiful,
Magnificent,
Sacred tree in connection with the whole wisdom of the universe.
As you are connected with your inner depth,
Your inner jewel,
Your own self,
That seed that contains it all,
And as this magnificent tree I invite you to deeply breathe in into your life,
Into your beingness,
Knowing that you are deeply grounded,
Connected,
Below and above,
That that golden circle that you have traced around you at the beginning of the meditation is still there and this is your space to grow and evolve and thrive and enjoy and create and express.
Beautiful.
And when you are ready,
Open your eyes and I invite you to do this practice at any point during the day when you feel that the outside circumstances taking you out of your own alignment,
That it's taking you either to your head or trying to fix a situation or trying to change someone or trying to change yourself and the way you feel just so you don't accept,
Create any conflict with another person and or you're trying to please somebody else or you're trying to be nice and stay in this energy of being nice instead of prioritizing what is the best thing for me in this moment.
Am I acting in service towards myself?
And so this will help you to come back into your body,
Through your heart,
Into the embodiment of yourself,
Remembering that you are here on earth,
This is your life and you are the most important person to begin to prioritize yourself first and from this place respond in a way that is empowering to you.
And as I mentioned,
The most loving act you can do is say no to somebody else.
And in this way you begin to emanate and broadcast a very clear energy and so people that are in alignment will begin to show up more and more instead of people that you feel like you need to keep in check or walk in eggshells to maintain the harmony of the energy.
Now by respecting and prioritizing yourself first you begin to send a clear indication of what is wanted and you begin to strengthen your aura,
Your energetic field and it's a very loving way to live your life.
And this practice muscle as I mentioned before that it needs to be practiced every single day.
I will show you this will change your life.
So before we close,
I will invite you to turn around and say a few prayers and words of gratitude to that tree.
I give my gratitude to the sacred tree that has shown me this beautiful teaching that it has transformed and changed my life and hopefully,
And I know it will change the lives of many others as from this place of being a tree in this connectedness you also connect to the larger grid of life from this place of cooperating with one another and co-creating knowing that one is in direct connection with our own source and yet we're also co-creating with each other for this new way of being with oneself with each other and the world.
Thank you very much.
My name is Sofia Lajeul and have a wonderful,
Wonderful day.
I will see you on the next meditation.
Ciao.
You you you you you you
