Ah,

Welcome beloveds to this grounding centering meditation.

This meditation is an offering to support you at any time during your day when you need to ground and center and protect your energy.

Inviting you now to find a seated position with your feet flat on the floor.

And begin to drop your awareness into the body,

Into the present moment,

Allowing thoughts to come and go as you bring your awareness to your breath.

Feeling the breath,

This life force energy as it moves in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Ah.

Feeling the temperature,

The texture,

The quality of the air as it moves into your nose,

Down your throat,

Out your mouth.

Allowing sound on your exhale.

And throat to open.

Ah.

Feeling your chest as it rises and falls.

Feeling your heart space expand with each breath.

And feeling your rib cage and your belly.

As we bring our center of gravity from the mind down into the belly.

As you bring all of your awareness down into the belly,

Noticing any sensations that are bound to arise and go.

Continuously bringing your awareness back to the breath.

The rise and fall of your belly.

And dropping your awareness now down into your pelvic bowl,

Your genitals,

Your hips.

Noticing any sensations as you bring your awareness down into your room.

Feeling each point of contact of your seat to the surface beneath you.

Feeling the heaviness of gravity holding you,

Supporting you.

Into your feet.

Feeling the bottoms of your feet connected to the ground,

The earth beneath you.

Noticing any sensations as you bring all of your awareness to the bottoms of your feet.

Noticing your connection to the earth.

And inviting you now to imagine or intend golden roots beginning to grow out of the bottoms of your feet into the earth beneath you.

Possibly moving through floorboards or concrete.

Into the dark,

Moist soil below you.

Saying hello to this thriving life that's living beneath you.

Crystals and caverns all buried on the earth's crust.

Through the rivers of magma and waters.

Swirling around miles.

As you begin to approach the center of the earth.

Tuning into reverence,

Reverence for the earth.

For providing everything that we need to survive,

To thrive.

To this core,

To the infinite womb of Gaia.

I wonder what that looks like.

Connecting into this primal magnetic force that sustains all of life on the planet.

And opening to receive all that is meant for you now.

Drinking her in.

Seeing her like a golden or green or crystalline light as she begins to flow up your roots through each layer of the earth again.

Drinking her in through your feet.

Allow her to fill your legs.

Your hips,

Your pelvic bowl,

Your genitals.

Your lower dantheon or womb space.

Drinking her up into your belly,

Your power center.

Into your chest as she washes over every organ.

Nourishing,

Grounding,

Spilling into your arms.

And your hands.

Flowing up into your neck and your head.

Flowing up through the crown of your head and allowing your energy to cascade down around you.

Coding you.

And just noticing.

Noticing any sensations in your body.

Noticing thought patterns arising.

Allowing them to come and go as you continue to bring your awareness to the present moment,

To your body.

And inviting you to bring your awareness now to the crown of your head.

About a foot above the crown of your head is a hovering sphere of light.

The light of the divine source,

God,

Goddess,

The heavens,

The cosmos,

All contained in this sphere of light hovering above you can be as big or as small as you imagine or intend it to be.

And taking a moment to bring your awareness back down to the crown of your head and noticing sitting atop the crown of your head is a violet thousand-petaled lotus.

And just noticing if this lotus is in a bud,

Tightly constricted,

Or fully bloomed,

Expansive,

Or somewhere in between.

And wherever this lotus is at,

Honoring that,

Maybe inviting it to slowly begin to open if it's closed.

And imagining,

Intending,

That this sphere of light begins to pour like a waterfall in through the center of this lotus,

Flowing down your vessel through your feet.

Getting it to fill your heart space,

Fill your belly,

Your power center,

The body as it washes over every cell,

Noticing any sensation as it flows down through your feet back into the earth.

As you become this conduit between heaven and earth,

A human form,

Remembering you are so worthy and deserving to receive this divine gift.

This infinite flow of divine.

Bring your awareness now back up to the sphere of light hovering above you and imagining it growing,

If it's not already,

To the size of your body.

And imagining this sphere of light beginning to descend down until it is fully surrounding you,

Enveloping you in pure white light,

Holding you safe and sacred in this bubble of light that only allows in the highest vibrational frequencies of unconditional love to enter your energy field this time.

Deflecting like a mirror any negative energy or energy that's not in service to your highest and greatest good.

Taking a few deep breaths to really anchor this intention,

This sphere.

And on this third breath,

Inhaling and holding at the top.

Taking a moment to notice the effects of that seed sound as it lands in your body.

And taking a moment to notice how you're feeling,

The quality of taking this feeling with you throughout the rest of your day.
