Earth Vitality Meditation

So yesterday was Earth Day,

So I thought to dedicate this meditation to our lovely Mother Earth and to acknowledge the fact that Mother Earth is constantly nourishing us.

Everything we have,

Starting with our body,

Because we're eating,

We're drinking,

We're breathing,

And the clothes we wear,

And everything,

Everything,

Everything comes from the Earth.

So obviously when we walk,

Especially if we walk barefoot,

We can really feel the sensation and the beautiful sensation of the energy of the Earth entering through the sole of the feet into our body and nourishing us.

But we can also feel the energy of the Earth through our awareness,

Because it's all the time being present for us,

And of course also the energy of the Heaven.

So let's first just to connect to the present moment,

To the now,

And just connect to our breathing,

First of all,

And just focus inward,

Just being aware how the breath moves from Heaven through the body to the Earth,

And how the Earth responds through the body to the Heaven.

So with our awareness,

We're uniting Heaven and Earth via the breath.

Let's pay attention that when we exhale,

We allow things that we don't need to be present inside us at this moment to go out from the body,

From the mind.

And when we inhale,

We want to nourish the body with beautiful energy from Heaven and from Earth.

And now let's be more aware specifically of the energy of the Earth.

So first let's feel the connection with the Earth,

Whatever way we are sitting,

On a chair,

On the floor,

Lying down,

Because normally we take for granted the fact that we are affected by gravity.

But let's see if we can feel how the Earth is actually holding us,

You can say embracing us.

See if you can feel the power of the Earth when it's pulling you and holding you safe,

Close to it.

And also when we say Earth,

What is Earth?

Is that the dirt?

Is that the rocks?

Is that a being like you,

Like me,

Like the sun,

Like a tree?

Maybe the Earth is a being,

It's alive,

It has its own personality,

You can say.

So let's try to connect to the quality of the Earth.

Some call it Mother Earth,

But all these words have to be felt,

Not just to be said.

So see what is it for you.

Really try to connect to the Earth and see,

Maybe it's talking to you.

We are more Earth than anything else.

So the language that made the apple,

The banana,

The wheat,

Even the cow,

Whatever we're eating comes from the Earth and now it's inside us,

It's part of us.

So if we listen carefully,

Maybe we can synthesize,

Feel,

Be aware of that quality inside us and in the Earth.

Those subtleties cannot be listened to or understood by the mind.

So let's leave the mind aside and just be present.

Ask yourself,

I really like to connect to the Earth and see just by wanting what kind of interaction we establish.

If I'm fed by the Earth,

If I'm given water by the Earth,

Probably I get also subtle energy from the Earth.

See if you can recognize that the Earth energy is flowing into you and invite it in.

It has a quality to it.

Maybe even without paying attention,

We don't allow all those beautiful qualities of the Earth energy to reach each and every part of us.

So pay attention as if you are rooted into the Earth and like a tree that draws the essence of the Earth through its roots into its whole body.

See if you can feel the same qualities are spreading within you.

Don't give it to your mind,

Please.

Just ask what you want to feel and wait and see.

Beautiful.

Just to counteract this feeling of the connection with the Earth to the Earth,

Let's pay attention to the connection with the Heaven.

And let's try to clarify this difference between energies by inviting the energy of the Heaven into your body.

Just compare the qualities of Heaven and Earth within you.

And let's alternate by inhaling,

Drawing the energy from the Earth into our heart and then exhaling from the heart to the Heaven.

And the next breath,

We're inhaling from the Heaven to the heart and exhaling from the heart to the Earth.

And see if you can differentiate the qualities between Heaven and Earth within you.

Let's just pay attention to what each quality is in use for you.

What does the Earth energy give you?

Maybe stability,

Maybe strength,

Maybe firmness.

Just pay attention and ask yourself,

What are the qualities of the Earth in my body?

As I inhale those qualities,

What happens to me?

And maybe we don't allow those qualities to be enough in us,

Or maybe we give it too much.

Just pay attention and check in for yourself.

Now let's do the opposite and ask,

What are the qualities of the Heaven?

What do they serve within me?

What are their,

In a way,

Purpose?

Check as you're inhaling and drawing the energy from the Heaven into the body,

And try to compare those energies.

And ask yourself,

Do I use the Heaven energy enough or maybe too much?

Is it spreading evenly all over my body?

Just check for yourself what happens with the Heaven energy.

Wonderful.

So obviously,

Heaven and Earth must mix together in order for us to live.

So now let's watch the mixture when they're alchemized together.

And then in a way,

There is just pure nourishment for us.

So just pay attention how it's working when these two qualities are transforming into vitality,

Life force inside you,

Substance and movement,

Firmness and lightness.

Just pay attention how all those qualities are working within you.

And maybe you have to shift,

Maybe a little bit less of one,

A little bit more of the other.

Pay for yourself,

Pay attention for yourself.

Next step,

Let's pay attention to our heart center.

And let's invite these two qualities to meet in the heart in love,

To meet in love.

Because when we love somebody,

We want to nourish them.

And that's what happens constantly in every breath.

Feel how Heaven and Earth meeting in the heart and transforming into love,

Nourishment.

And then when you exhale,

Those beautiful qualities together with love are spread all over to give nourishment.

And as we're breathing like this,

We are being gratitude that we are nourished so beautifully by Heaven and Earth.

Gratitude when we inhale and gratitude when we exhale.

Wonderful.

And obviously,

We always have to acknowledge our infinity.

Otherwise,

We stay very small,

Little.

It's not contradiction because we are infinite being,

Functioning in a physical form at this moment.

So,

Our physical form needs to be nourished by Heaven and Earth and our spirit must be connected to infinity.

Heaven and Earth is the vertical axis.

Infinity is like a sun.

Okay.

So,

As we are aware of the nourishment between Heaven and Earth or from Heaven and Earth,

Let's acknowledge that we are radiant in the same time.

So,

We are powerful or powerfully connected on this vertical line,

Feeling very,

Very connected to life.

Yet,

In the same time,

We are super radiant,

Bright,

Projecting so much light.

And if until now we had two qualities when we inhale meeting in our heart,

Heaven and Earth,

Now let's add the third quality,

Infinity.

So,

When we inhale,

Let's pull Heaven and Earth and infinity into our heart.

And when we exhale,

We are radiating back to all directions.

And don't be shy.

And don't be less than the sun of the whole creation.

And this is not an ego declaration.

This is just a direct experience because you are the sun of the whole creation,

Yet firmly rooted to the Earth and connected to the Heaven.

Wonderful.

So,

Let's let go of the controlled breathing.

And let's just scan our system to see if there's still any leftover tension,

Emotional tension,

Mental,

Physical,

Or energy tension.

And invite any type or form of tension to synchronize with the creation.

If I have tension in my chest,

I'm inviting infinity to synchronize with the tension in my chest until I feel that it's all releasing,

Completely releasing.

And like this,

We're cleansing any,

Any part of tension from our body.

Any part of tension from our being.

And the last part is complete dissolving.

So,

I'm not the sun of creation.

I am.

And that's it.

Beautiful.

So,

I want to really recommend that,

Especially now when it's getting a bit warmer,

To spend time walking barefoot and experiment with bare feet,

Touching different surfaces.

And you might feel that you are really nourished in different places,

More than other places.

It's also very beautiful to touch a tree or to hug a tree because each tree has its own quality as well.

It's so useful to harmonize our energy,

Especially tall trees,

You know,

That have a very,

Very strong cleansing property.

Beautiful.

Thank you for joining.

Have a beautiful,

Beautiful week.

Bye-bye.
