Find a comfortable seat or lie down.
Close your eyes and rest your hands gently on your knees or by your sides.
Feel the weight of your body supported by the earth beneath you and now take a slow deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Let your body soften and your mind settle.
On this earth day we honor the planet that holds us,
Nourishes us and connects us to all living beings.
Allow yourself to be present here in the now grounded in this moment.
Now bring your awareness to your feet.
As you inhale imagine the energy of the earth rising up from the ground,
Filling your legs,
Your torso and your whole body with stability and calm.
Hold the breath gently for two counts and as you exhale let it go through your mouth releasing any tension,
Stress or heaviness back into the earth.
Let your breath become a gentle rhythm connecting you deeply with the ground beneath you.
Silently repeat after me.
I am grounded.
I am supported.
I belong to this earth.
Now visualize roots growing from the soles of your feet,
Sinking deep into the soil and spreading in all directions.
Feel the strength,
Stability and patience of earth flowing through you.
Grounding you completely.
And now visualize a gentle stream or a rainfall nearby.
Hear the soft flow of water and feel it's cleansing,
Refreshing energy washing all over your body and your mind,
Carrying away stress and worries.
And now visualize a warm sunlight touching your skin and feel the gentle warmth filling your body with vitality,
Light and love.
Let this energy nurture you,
Filling you with gratitude for this beautiful planet.
Now imagine a soft breeze brushing your face and let it carry away anything that no longer serves you,
Bringing clarity,
Freshness and ease.
Now see yourself surrounded by all these elements,
Balanced,
Calm and deeply connected to the nature around.
Silently repeat after me.
I am in harmony with earth.
I am in harmony with water,
Sun.
I am one with nature.
Interbring gently movements to your body.
Wiggle your fingers,
Your toes and roll your shoulders softly.
Inhale and lift your arms overhead,
Reaching like branches towards the sky.
Inhale and lift your arms overhead,
Reaching like branches towards the sky,
Drawing energy from the sun and exhale,
Fold forward slightly,
Letting your energy return to the earth through your roots.
Gently twist from side to side,
Feeling the flow of your spine and the body like trees swaying in the wind.
And move mindfully,
Fully aware of the connection between your body and the breath.
And now move mindfully,
Fully aware of the connection between your body and the earth.
Return to stillness.
Lie down or settle comfortably,
Letting your body completely rest.
Feel the earth beneath you,
Supporting you fully.
Picture gratitude rising from your heart,
Flowing to the soil,
Rivers,
Mountains,
Oceans and sky.
Now take a deep,
Nourishing breath in through the nose.
Exhale fully through the mouth.
And when you're ready,
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
You can stretch and slowly open your eyes.
And let's close this with affirmation.
I'm grounded.
I'm grateful.
I'm one with the earth.
Namaste.
