Hey meditators,
I hope everybody is doing amazing out there and you're all feeling ready to sit down or even not ready to sit down and take part in this practice.
Whatever it was that brought you here,
I just want to take a moment to acknowledge that and honor that and thank that.
So today for our practice we're going to be focusing on creating deep and creative energies from a really grounded and heart centered place.
So let's get right into this.
So wherever you are,
Just lie down or take a comfortable seat,
Making sure that in whatever form you're in,
You're resting with a straight spine and a completely relaxed shoulder and chest area.
A completely relaxed belly.
A completely relaxed face.
And if they aren't already,
Allow your eyes to close.
Check in with your belly,
Making sure that it's as soft as possible.
Allowing the breath to run in and out of the belly.
Allowing the body to become a little bit softer.
Just tuning into your natural breath.
And allowing every exhale you take to ground you even deeper into the space just below you.
Every exhale you take,
Allowing your body to settle even more firmly into the space below you.
Noticing the connection that you have right now with Mother Earth.
Simply through this physical touch between you and the space below you.
And imagine that you're absorbing energy from the Earth.
So there's something that we can do which you may have heard of.
It's called earthing.
Which basically means that we are taking time to connect directly to the Earth.
Typically it's done in bare feet or a direct touch from our skin to the ground.
However we can still absorb incredible energy from the Earth simply by resting on it even if there's a yoga mat underneath you or a bed.
But the mind as you likely know is so unbelievably powerful.
So even if you're not directly touching the Earth,
Imagine that the energy from the Earth,
All the creative energy from the Earth is lifting up right into your body.
And if you're having any sort of challenge right now,
Feeling this creative energy lifting up into your body from the Earth,
Just imagine what it would feel like.
Playing with this incredible childlike imagination that we all have deep inside of us.
Just begin to watch as this creative energy moves through the Earth and up into your body.
It may come with a feeling.
It may come as a sound.
It may come as a visualization.
Perhaps of flowers or beautiful objects or jewelry or poetry or musical instruments.
Or perhaps you may even visualize it just as colorful little lines or squiggles.
It's up to your imagination.
And notice that with every exhale,
You feel a little bit more grounded.
And with every full breath you take,
Your whole body is expanding as it welcomes in all this creative energy.
Welcoming it in straight from the Earth underneath you or the space below you and channeling it right into your heart.
Imagine this beautiful shift of creative energy that's cultivated in the Earth underneath you.
Moving up into your body,
Right into your heart center.
Bringing you every ounce of creative desire that you need in this moment.
Begin to watch as you inhale,
Seeing all this creative energy lift from the Earth into your heart.
And as you exhale,
You're both grounding and watching the creative energy spread throughout your entire body.
Again,
As you inhale,
Notice all of this incredible creative energy move right from the Earth up into your heart center.
And as you exhale,
You're both grounded and the creative energy moves throughout your entire body.
Repeating this cycle,
Watching the creative energy come in as you breathe in,
Watching it spread from your heart all around your aura as you breathe out.
Keeping this delicious cycle.
And if you're wanting to stay in this practice,
You're more than welcome to just stay here.
And if you feel as if this practice is complete right now,
Then you may bring some deep and full intentional breaths into the body.
Bringing a little bit of movement back into the body.
Taking your time.
And as you feel ready,
Gently open your eyes and bring this creative awareness back into your space.
