Today I've felt a wave of calm despite the world going crazy Voices and thought avoiding the crowds and thinking of sinking down Into the ground Just to hear the tree roots talk Just to feel the warmth of the soil Soon my eyes turn to the sky Blue no longer streaked with lines of white This meditation is particularly special outside with the soles of your feet connected to the earth Wherever you choose to be,
Sit upright in a comfortable position Place your palms on your thighs and close your eyes Lean back slightly until you feel connected to whatever it is that you are sitting on Take a moment to breathe into that connection Deep inhalations And long exhalations Allow yourself to relax into the flow of this moment There is only right here,
Right now The future and the past do not exist in this moment Relax your neck and your shoulders Relax your jaw Relax your forehead and eyebrows Feel the sensitivity of your feet and the way they ground down Imagine that they are resting on rich soil that will nourish and support your growth Now visualize a glowing ball of red light swirling at the base of your spine In this light is health,
Security and strength The light begins to spread throughout your body Allow it to fill you Feel its warmth as it seeps down into your toes and out into your fingertips This warm red light connects you to the earth's energy Feel the warming red glow as it gently spins and envelops you Repeat the following phrases silently in your mind I am grounded I am safe I trust in life I am balanced Take a deep breath in Filling up with fresh earthy energy And let it go,
Breathing out the old Breathe in security And breathe out fear Bring your awareness to the red light that fills you And visualize it becoming smaller,
Drawing back to its center at the base of your spine Here it rests,
A constant glowing warmth that you may return to at any time The red light at the base of your spine is your center for balance and for feeling at home in the world Bring your awareness to your breathing once again Take a deep inhalation And let it go,
Exhalation Take a deep inhalation And exhale,
Letting go Allow your senses to become alive to the world around you Take a moment to rest and when you are ready,
Gently open your eyes And let it go,
Exhalation Take a moment to relax Here it rests,
A constant glowing warmth that you may return to at any time
