Go ahead and make yourself super comfortable.
I recommend for this meditation sitting with your spine tall,
Shoulders soft and feet planted firmly on the ground beneath you.
Welcome to today's meditation.
This practice will help calm and restore your nervous system,
Guiding it into rest and digest while gently clearing away anything you no longer need so you can invite in more light,
Clarity and well-being into your mind,
Body and soul.
Gently close your eyes and together let's take three cleansing breaths.
Inhale deeply through the nose,
Filling your lungs completely and hold at the top for three,
Two,
One,
Then exhale through the mouth with a sigh,
Letting any stress and tension melt away.
Again,
Inhale deeply,
Feeling the chest rise and expand,
Hold.
And exhale,
Release what you no longer wish to carry.
One last time,
Inhale deeply,
Hold and exhale,
Feeling the belly draw in as the body softens and relaxes.
Now gently press your feet into the earth beneath you,
Sensing the ground supporting you.
And now imagine two strong,
Vibrant roots extending from the soles of your feet.
See them growing down through the surface beneath you,
Through the stone,
Soil and through all the ancient layers of the earth.
See them continue to grow down deeper and deeper until they reach the glowing,
Pulsing heart of Mother Earth herself.
When your roots arrive,
Let them wrap lovingly around her.
And here is where you can ask for whatever you need in this moment,
Whether it be strength,
Grounding,
Healing or guidance.
Now feel her answer and a golden,
Sparkling light begins to rise from her heart,
Traveling up your roots,
Warm,
Pure and alive.
It moves upward through the layers of the earth all the way until it reaches the ground beneath you.
Allowing it to move into the soles of your feet,
Filling you with a gentle yet powerful energy.
Feel it begin to flow into your ankles,
Moving up your calves,
Washing over your knees and thighs.
Filling your hips and your belly with warmth.
It moves into your chest,
Melting away tension.
As it moves into your shoulders,
Your shoulders begin to drop.
And it begins to flow down your arms,
To your elbows,
Your forearms,
Into your wrists,
And then through your hands.
Releasing anything you no longer need through the palms and your fingertips.
And the golden light rises back up your arms,
Making its way to your neck and into your throat.
Moving into your jaw,
Allowing it to soften.
Allowing it to loosen your tongue and to soothe your forehead.
And relaxing the space around your eyes.
And it reaches the crown of your head,
Carrying away any heavy or intrusive thoughts as it flows upward.
And as it moves beyond you,
It forms a beautiful golden sphere around your body.
A shield of safety,
Wholeness,
And peace.
It mends and strengthens your energetic field,
Sealing you in this beautiful golden light.
And now,
As your roots remain open,
Not only to receive,
But to release,
I want you to imagine any heaviness within you.
Old stories,
Stale emotions,
Or dense energy gathering like a mist in your body.
And with each exhale,
Watch this mist drift down through your legs,
And through your feet,
And out through your roots.
Flowing into the earth like a waterfall of light and shadow.
See Mother Earth receiving it all without judgment,
Just transmuting it instantly into nourishment and healing for the planet.
Stay here for a few breaths as you begin to feel lighter,
Clearer,
And freer.
Letting anything and everything you no longer need to leave you now.
Now picture your roots gently intertwining,
Braiding a strong,
Steady anchor that keeps you grounded no matter where life takes you.
Know that you can return to this connection anytime.
All it takes is your awareness,
Your breath,
And a moment of stillness.
Take a nice deep breath in,
And exhale,
Sigh it out.
When you're ready,
Begin to bring your awareness back into your body.
Wiggle your toes,
Wiggle your fingers,
And take in one final deep inhale,
And exhale fully.
Gently open your eyes.
Carry this grounded energy into the rest of your day,
And remember you are strong,
You are supported,
And you are deeply connected to the earth and to yourself.
The peace you feel now lives within you always.
From my heart to yours,
I hope you cultivated more peace for yourself today.
With love,
Tamika.
Aho.
