Nature provides a mindful healing presence for us at any time,
And especially when healing spaces are most needed to offer comfort,
Support,
And inspiration.
Learning to appreciate the elements so familiar to everyone on our planet,
And learning to commune with them,
Adds a dimension of love,
Support,
Caring,
And most of all,
It adds an underlying sense of peace to our lives.
In this meditation,
We will focus on the healing earth element as we listen to the sounds of the drum.
One of the familiar sounds that represents the solid and healing earth element is the sound of the drum,
An ancient instrument that has been used to communicate,
To comfort,
And to express emotion.
Earth element is present in these sounds,
And as we listen to the beat of the drum,
We notice a familiar rhythm of life itself.
The drum is reflecting the sound of our own heartbeat,
Our solid communication with the planet that represents the essence of life,
Our very own life.
So with this thought in mind,
Let's begin to walk together in our imagination for a few precious moments of conscious,
Mindful awareness that with each step we take together,
We are walking on the surface of our beautiful planet earth,
Taking in her abundant riches,
Her healing energies of ancient wisdom,
And her peaceful solitude as we walk,
Breathing more slowly and deeply as you imagine yourself walking while listening to the steady beat of the drum.
Music Remember now a place on the earth that is especially meaningful to you.
And allow your mind and memory to take you there and imagine you are able to continue your walk in this location.
As you slow your breath and breathe more deeply.
And then look around you and see earth elements reminders of what was once quite familiar to you.
As you focus on this scene,
Allow yourself to engage with the earth energy by sitting down on the ground in a place that is dry and comfortable for you.
And take another slower breath.
And then look around you in this space and spend a few moments to reconnect with the earth in this space of familiarity.
Breathing slowly and effortlessly as you do.
And try to see and remember good images of being in this healing earth space before.
Music And notice how you are feeling within this reconnection you are making with the earth in this location.
Feeling the earth beneath you as you sit and absorb her energies through your root chakra.
Grounding you in her solid ancient energies.
And comforting you as you reconnect in this very simple way.
Allowing you to sense.
Feel.
Hear.
See.
Touch.
Remember.
Breathing her energies in.
Mindfully.
Meaningfully.
And feeling the comfort of this energy moving in your body.
Being drawn up through your root center.
And flowing effortlessly within your whole body and mind.
Enjoying the sense of comfort and peace.
Welcome now this solid sense of peace settling over around and within you in this healing space.
An anchoring peace within its rich and abundant earth energy.
Perhaps opening you to receive her healing energies today in parts of you that need to receive her tender healing.
And grateful for your time spent so easily and simply by imagining yourself walking and sitting on her surface.
Sharing the sounds of your own heartbeat with hers.
And now confidently cross over the threshold of your healing space of meditation.
Having been re-attuned to the peaceful healing energies of the earth element.
Reclaiming this energy gratefully within you.
As you go about this day or move into the night.
And before we end,
Just bring your hands together now in front of your chest.
And imagine yourself bowing slightly and whispering to the earth.
Thank you.
Namaste.
I bow to the divine in you.
