Sun & Earth- Grounding and Warming

Lay down on the floor and close your eyes.

We are going on a journey.

Breathe in and out gently through your nose.

Feel the cool air as you breathe in and warm air as you breathe out.

In and out.

In and out.

You are standing somewhere on earth.

It can be any natural landscape that you like.

It can be somewhere you remember.

Somewhere you have seen in a picture.

Or somewhere from your imagination.

Look around you.

Take in your surroundings.

What can you see?

What can you hear?

What can you smell?

Do you notice any special features of the landscape?

Find a spot where you can lay down on the earth.

Take note of what is beneath you.

Is it lush green grass?

Red or brown dirt?

A large flat rock?

Or maybe some sand?

Whatever surface you are laying on,

Feel all the parts of your body that are touching it.

Feel its texture against your skin.

Feel its colour seeping into your skin.

Feel your body become one with the earth.

You are part of it.

And it is a part of you.

Alive and full of possibilities.

You can hear what the earth hears.

Feel what the earth feels.

See what the earth sees.

As you lay there,

One with the earth,

You notice a warmth on your face and your arms and your legs too.

You can see the golden rays of the sun gently shining down on you,

Offering you energy and strength.

The feeling of the sun on your skin gets warmer and warmer.

Allow the sun to shine on you.

Allow it to warm up to the perfect temperature for you today.

It might start beating down on you,

Making you sweat.

Or it may shine gently down,

Allowing you to soak up the rays at the perfect pace for you.

When you have received enough energy from the sun and peace from the earth,

You can begin to breathe slowly.

Remembering that your body is actually on the floor in your classroom.

Breathe deep with your fingers and toes.

Have a lovely big stretch.

When you are ready,

Open your eyes.
