Transcript

Settling into your posture today,

Allowing yourself to arrive into the space and noticing all of the points where your body touches the floor,

Softening and relaxing,

Leaving any anxieties of tomorrow,

Any worries of yesterday at the door.

Relaxing deeply as you offer yourself a deep,

Deep sense of gratitude for committing to your practice and carving out the next 20 or so minutes.

All of the hard work has already been done,

All that's left to do is simply ride the wave,

Bringing a sense of curiosity to your practice and allowing any judgement,

Any expectation to just fall away.

Softening and relaxing,

Melting into the floor below,

Alert and awake,

We continue to connect with our trusty companion,

The breath.

Feeling the cool air enter the nostrils,

The warm air exit the mouth.

Softening and relaxing,

Feeling more at peace with every breath,

Allowing a beautiful blue dome of protection to cascade over you,

Shimmering and shining,

Locking tightly into the ground below,

Keeping you safe and secure during your practice.

Beginning to breathe even deeper than before,

Allowing the space in between breaths to get just that little bit longer.

Breathing deeply,

That's it.

You're doing it perfectly.

As we call on the spirits of the land to be with us now,

Calling on our team of light beings and well and healed ancestors to begin to surround us and fill the space.

Letting them come and come and come,

Above us and below us,

We welcome them here now.

On the next inhalation,

Begin to allow a vibrant light energy to fill your body with each breath.

Allow this vibrant light to swirl around the head,

The neck,

The shoulders.

With each breath,

Allow it to fill the arms,

The torso,

The hips and the legs.

Filling you with this vibrant life force.

On the next exhalation,

Begin to allow this vibrant life force energy to move through the legs,

Down the feet and penetrate into the earth below as a beautiful set of roots.

Begin to allow these roots to move through the soil,

The rock and the mantle,

Thick and heavy like tree trunks as they cascade down into the ground below.

Deeper and deeper these roots go,

Taking up more and more space.

Deeper and deeper into the ground below they fall,

Deeper and deeper,

Moving in many different directions,

Down and down they continue to fall,

Smaller roots cascading off the larger root,

Covering more and more and more ground.

Moving front of you,

Behind you and to the sides,

The roots go deeper than they ever have before,

Deeper and deeper into the earth they go,

Deeper and deeper,

Searching for more and more new ground,

Deeper into the earth they go.

With each breath,

Allowing them to take up more and more space,

Allowing them to lock tightly into the soil below,

Allowing the roots to move through the golden gateway and wrap tightly around the centre of the earth.

Breathing here,

Noticing your big and expansive root network,

Feeling safe,

Sturdy and secure.

Begin to notice the soil around you,

Its wetness,

Its grittiness,

Allowing yourself to breathe in this soil,

To breathe in these nutrients.

Breathing in here,

And on the exhalation allowing yourself to just let go,

As a beautiful gift to the earth,

Letting go,

Releasing on each breath,

Feeling how secure you are,

How rooted you are and how secure you feel,

Letting go,

Letting go,

Softening and relaxing,

That's it.

On your next inhalation,

Begin to notice how you are connected with the mycelium network,

Spanning out even further and beginning to see how you are connected to all of the trees around you.

Begin to notice the beautiful ecosystem around you,

And how you are able to communicate with these trees,

Helping each other grow and passing on vital nutrients.

Begin to rise up through your tree,

Looking up from above at the beautiful network of trees around you.

Feeling interwoven,

Feeling expansive,

Feeling connected,

Feeling your strength,

Feeling your vitality,

Feeling your softness,

Feeling your aliveness,

Feeling your ability to let go.

Begin to come back to your body,

Noticing a cord connecting you from your perineum down through the ground,

Through the layers of the earth,

All the way down through the golden gateway and wrapping tightly into the center of the earth.

Notice how this cord connects you to the root chakra at the base of your spine.

Here you find a beautiful red light.

Begin to take notice of the root chakra,

Paying attention to how it is now.

How is its color?

How is its speed?

How is its clarity?

Just notice here,

Becoming aware.

You may notice that you are not alone.

Becoming aware.

You may like to use the breath to breathe into it.

Just witnessing here.

When you are ready,

Begin to visualize a cloth or a vacuum.

And begin to give the root chakra a clean.

You may like to clean it in an anti-clockwise direction,

Concentrating on removing any grit or dirt,

Removing anything that is hindering the light from flowing freely through it.

Use your breath to release anything stuck here.

Watching it fall away and giving it as a gift to the earth.

Clean your root chakra,

Allowing light to continue to flow through it.

Releasing with every breath.

Letting go.

When you are ready,

Begin to breathe up this vibrant light energy from the center of the earth,

Moving through your entire being.

From the center of the earth,

Moving through the golden gateway.

Up and up and up,

Through your expansive root network.

Up and up,

Through the smaller roots.

Up and up,

Through the larger roots.

Up and up and up,

From all different directions.

Up and up and up and up,

Moving through the mantle,

The rock and the soil.

Up and up and up,

Through the base of your feet.

Up and up,

Through your legs.

Up and up and up,

Into the base of the spine and into the root chakra.

With each breath,

Allow this light to rise,

To continue to move through your root network and allow it to fill the root chakra.

Allow the light to swirl around and concentrate here.

With each breath,

Allow this light to pump up through the center of the earth,

Through the golden gateway and penetrate up and up and up and into your roots.

Up and up and up,

Through all of the layers.

Up and up and up and into your roots.

Up and up and up and into the root chakra.

Use the breath to allow the light to move around,

Illuminating it here.

Clearing it,

Cleansing it.

Breathe into your root chakra from every angle,

Allowing the light to fill it.

Use your breath here.

Begin to allow yourself to fall into the sacred darkness.

Allow yourself to soften and relax as the edges of your body begins to blur.

With each breath,

You feel held and carried by the universe.

Softening and relaxing into divine love and grace.

With each breath,

You surrender here,

Knowing that you are completely at peace.

Knowing that you are held.

You find yourself in the womb space of Gaia,

In the waters of her depth,

Her love and her safety.

Breathe here.

Letting go of everything you think you know about who you are.

Releasing.

Softening to her love.

Breathe deeply.

Letting go.

Softening and surrendering.

Allowing her love to hold you.

Allowing yourself to be rocked gently in her arms.

All of you is welcome here.

All of you is welcome here.

All of you is safe here.

Begin to notice a cord connected to your umbilical region.

Pulsing the life force of Gaia into you.

Begin to feel with every beat of her heartbeat,

This love and nutrients pulsing into you.

With each beat,

More and more of this love you receive.

Open up to receive this now.

Open up to this nourishment.

Breathing it in with every breath.

Letting go of anything that no longer serves.

Feeling your heartbeat in one.

Receiving here.

With each breath as you open up more and more.

Feeling yourself connected with the stars and the moon of the cosmos.

Feeling yourself floating in space.

Floating in love.

Floating in protection.

Floating in bliss.

Stay here,

Allowing yourself to fill with even more of this beauty.

Take a few deep breaths.

As you begin to consolidate this light deep within every cell in your body.

Deep within your bones.

Deep within your blood.

Deep within every part of your being.

Begin to draw this light down all the way into your body and into your extensive root network.

Anchoring you in place.

Allow this light to flood through you and into your roots.

Feel it anchor you in place.

You may like to place a hand on your heart or maybe on your belly.

Taking a few deep breaths to anchor you now.

Beginning to become aware of your body and its position on the floor or on its mat.

Beginning to become aware of the noises around you.
