The first part of this exercise will see you sitting in a comfortable position with your feet firmly on the ground,
Your back upright and your hands comfortably in front of you.
I would like you to close your eyes and relax.
Your breathing should be deep but controlled.
Ideally breathe in 1,
2,
3 and out 1,
2,
3,
4.
Breathe in 1,
2,
3.
Breathe out 1,
2,
3,
4.
Maintaining your deep breathing,
Please take your consciousness to your feet.
You should feel a gentle weight at the bottom of your legs and in your feet.
Move your toes slightly until you feel comfortable.
Feel the firm connection from the soles of your feet to the ground beneath.
In your own time,
Think of a chosen method that will connect you to the earth's core.
This can be a line,
Cord,
Maybe the roots of a tree.
Imagine and visualise as they start to form at the base of your feet,
From your soles and push gently through the firm floor below.
You immediately recognise them as part of you.
Visualise and sense now as they push deeper and easily through the soil,
Moving easily down,
Deeper and deeper.
They push easily past anything in their way.
You can step back a moment and visualise yourself sitting and watching it push closer to the earth's core.
Gaining momentum,
See it now as it reaches the earth's core.
A firm connection is made,
You immediately feel grounded and anchored,
Controlled and focused.
You can move your feet slightly and feel the connection with the earth's core.
Now in your own time,
Imagine a light or an energy leaving the earth's core and pushing back up,
Your connected method towards you.
You should recognise the light or the energy as Reiki.
The light moves closer and closer to you.
Sense as it enters your body,
Through the feet,
Up through the legs,
Through the central chakra system to your crown chakra,
Saturating all parts of your body till it moves down your arms and settles in the palms of your hands and your fingertips.
I would like you to say quietly to yourself,
Three times,
I am now connected to the earth's energy.
To help you protect yourself from negative energies,
I would now like you to imagine and visualise yourself in a space,
A protective space that covers you above,
Below,
To the front,
To the back,
To the left and to the right.
You are immediately comfortable and feel safe in your space.
I would like you to imagine filling the space with Reiki energy,
See it as a light or a warmth and let it surround you on all sides.
We invite anything into our space that can do us no harm,
But ask that it protects us from negative energy.
