Welcome to your tethered and free grounding meditation.
This practice is for moments when you need to feel rooted in your body and unburdened.
And it works beautifully as a morning ritual to set the tone for your day.
Through visualisation we will reconnect to the earth and orient through the four directions of the self.
How tall you stand,
How wide you reach,
How deep you go and where you are headed in order to feel whole,
Steady and free.
When you're ready,
Find your position.
Seated or lying,
Let the surface beneath you take your weight completely.
And here,
Take a slow,
Deep breath from the earth all the way up through your body.
Your heart,
The crown of your head.
And exhale back down through your body into the ground all the way to the earth's core.
Imagine the breath forming into roots as it travels down,
Tendrils reaching through the layers of the soil.
Creating one giant root wrapping around the Earth's core tightly,
Firmly and held.
Now feel what it is to be rooted and held with the earth.
From this rooted place at any heaviness surface.
Whatever is ready to be released.
And with each outward breath,
Breathe any heaviness down through the root,
Deep into the earth.
The Earth receiving it and transforming it.
Nothing is wasted,
Everything is alchemised.
Again,
One more breath down through the root.
Whatever remains.
The root goes down and you rise.
Like a kite on a long cord floating in the breeze.
Tethered at the earth's core,
Free to move where the breeze carries you.
With the sense of support and freedom,
Shift your awareness above your head.
Imagine a bright golden sun forming there,
Warm,
Dense with light.
This is your energy.
Call it back now.
Everything scattered across the past.
The future.
Left with others.
Returning home.
Watch it gather above the crown of your head.
Pulling in your energy from all directions,
Growing until it fills the space above you completely.
And now this big golden sun descends.
Pouring in through the crown.
Softening the brow,
The eyes,
The jaw.
Traveling down the back of the body,
The shoulders releasing.
The spine long and warm.
Into the chest and belly,
The heart filling.
The gut settling.
Down through the hips.
The legs,
The feet.
Every cell filling with golden light.
Every part of you reclaimed.
Hole Settled now in your own energy,
This is the perfect time to reclaim the four dimensions of the self.
With each inhale.
Breathe in dignity and inherent worth.
Feel it rise from the earth's core through your spine.
Your crown and into the sky above.
And ready to exhale.
Open your arms wide.
Breathe out,
Expanding into radiant connection with everything around you.
Now bring your awareness to your heart space.
Take a moment here to reconnect with your heart.
Let's take a deep breath in through the back of your heart.
And exhale through the front of your heart.
Reducing our breath.
Feel your history behind you,
Holding you.
Your wisdom,
Everything you have already lived.
Fully supported.
Drawing in another deep breath through the back of your heart.
And exhale out through the front of your heart,
Radiating clarity.
Ease and purpose.
Before we close,
Allow an intention to arise.
One quality or essence you want to carry with you.
What it is you desire.
Let it form in your mind now.
As you hold this essence in you,
Allow the following incantation to move through the body.
You may repeat these words out loud.
And insert your chosen essence.
As I cross the threshold of this day.
Anchor me in.
Grounded in dignity.
Radiant in connection and belonging.
Tuned to my wisdom.
Study with purpose.
I step into the light of today,
Tethered and free.
This meditation is now complete.
May you move through this day knowing the earth holds you.
