Welcome,
This is your time to pause,
To steady and to return to the deep support that has always been beneath you.
Find a comfortable position,
Seated or lying down.
Allow your body to settle and gently begin to soften down your eyes until they eventually close.
Take a deep,
Slow inhale through your nose and a long,
Steady exhale through your mouth.
Again,
Inhale letting your chest gently rise,
Exhale softening your whole body.
Let your breath find a natural rhythm flowing in and out of your nose with ease.
Feel yourself arriving here,
Safe in this moment.
Notice where your body connects with the earth.
Notice the weight of your feet,
Your legs,
Your back.
Feel how the ground holds you,
Without condition,
Without effort.
Bring your awareness gently downward.
Imagine the base of your spine,
The soles of your feet,
Softening into the earth.
With every exhale,
Surrender a little more into this support.
Now,
Imagine that from the soles of your feet and from the base of your spine,
Roots begin to grow.
They move downward,
Deep into the soil,
Through layers of earth,
Past stone and mineral,
Reaching deeper still.
These roots are strong,
Steady,
Unshaken.
They anchor you to something vast,
Something ancient,
The earth itself.
Feel nourishment rising up through these roots.
A quiet,
Steady energy that flows upward into your body.
Feel your feet,
Your toes,
Your calves,
Your thighs,
Feeling all your legs into your glutes,
Your hips.
Feel it expand into your womb,
Your belly,
Expanding into your heart,
Your chest,
Your shoulders,
All the way down your arms,
Into your hands,
Reaching through your fingers,
Into your fingertips.
Feel it expanding up your spine,
Through your neck,
The base of your skull,
Expanding all the way into the crown of your head.
With each inhale,
You draw strength from the earth.
With each exhale,
You release what no longer serves you,
Sending it down through the roots to be transformed in the center of the earth.
Now,
Imagine yourself as a great tree.
Your roots are deep,
Your trunk is steady,
No storm can uproot you.
Winds may blow,
Your branches swaying through the air,
Seasons may change,
But your foundation remains unshaken.
This is the resilience within you,
A strength you were born with,
One that cannot be taken away.
So feel yourself standing tall,
Held by the earth,
Open to the sky.
You are rooted yet free,
Grounded yet expansive.
Let these words move through you as you stand with your root going deep.
I am deeply rooted in the strength of the earth.
I am steady,
Safe and supported.
I trust in my resilience.
No matter what comes,
I remain grounded and whole.
Repeat them softly if you feel drawn,
Letting their truth anchor within you.
Gently,
Now,
Bring your awareness back to your breath.
Feel the gentle rise and fall of your belly.
Notice the ground beneath you,
The quiet,
Unwavering support of the earth.
Softly begin to wiggle your fingers,
Your toes.
Before opening your eyes,
Take one moment to sense your root,
Knowing they are always here,
Holding you steady.
Gently,
When you feel ready,
Begin to slowly blink open your eyes,
Letting the outside world back in.
Carry this rooted strength with you into your day,
Into your life.
You are grounded,
You are resilient.
You are unshaken.
Thank you for joining me today,
Sending love and light.
