Root Chakra Meditation To Meet The Earth

Welcome.

This is Catherine Elian Hope and today we are going to connect with the root chakra and you're going to meet the earth.

The root chakra is called Muladhara which means root and support or the root of existence.

It is our connection with home,

With the earth,

With that sense of connection with community,

With nature,

With the world in which we live and it's about being present,

Rooted in our life,

Having a deep sense of inner home.

So to begin this guided meditation make yourself comfortable.

Sit on the ground,

On the floor or on a chair that supports you at your back.

You can even do this meditation outside sitting with your back against a tree and take your shoes and socks off so your feet are bare and connected to the earth.

And as you allow that sense of presence to come back into your body,

Slow your breath.

Take some nice deep long breaths,

Breathing fully in and out and with each out breath allow yourself to let go,

To come back to this moment,

To be here,

Present.

Give yourself this moment,

This time to reconnect,

This time to come home to yourself.

Take a pause in your life so you know what is most important for you right now.

So imagine that you're breathing up your spine all the way to the top of your head and with the out breath allow that to flow down the front of your body,

Down to your root chakra at the base of your spine.

So keep that flow of breath lengthening and deepening it as you become more present,

More here,

Right now.

Feel the breath relaxing each part of your body,

Relaxing your feet as they connect with the earth,

Relaxing each toe,

Feeling their connection with the ground beneath you,

Relaxing your ankles,

Your calves,

Your shins,

Relaxing the muscles there,

Allowing them to release any tension,

Feeling that sense of relaxation,

That breath moving into your knees and your thighs and relaxing those deep inner muscles.

Allow the breath to fill your hips and buttocks and relax and release those areas and feel it warming your lower back and filling your belly.

Soften the muscles there,

Relax and release and allow this energy to move up into your solar plexus and your middle back as if the breath is moving healing energy throughout your body.

Let it move up into your upper back,

Your shoulders,

Consciously relax your shoulders,

Letting go of the tension in your shoulder muscles and fill your lungs with this breath,

Deep long breaths and allow the breath to move down your upper arms into your elbows,

Your lower arms and your hands as they rest in your lap.

Feel the connection with your hands to wherever they're resting,

Allow them to become heavy and feel that breath moving into your neck,

Up through the occipital part of your head,

Over your head and into your face,

Relaxing each area of your face,

Relaxing your jaw,

Your cheek,

Your forehead,

Your eyes,

Feeling your entire body connected now,

Filled with warm deep breath.

So as you sit in this presence,

In this now moment,

Connect with the earth and imagine that you have roots going from your feet deep down into the earth,

Through the rock,

Through the waterways,

Past roots of trees,

On down.

These beautiful roots penetrate deep into the core of the earth until you connect with a beautiful crystal in the center of the earth,

A deep dark crystal emanating the energy of the earth,

Warm nourishing earth energy.

Feel that magnetic energy and feel how your roots drink in this beautiful mother earth energy and that energy moves up through those roots all the way back up to your feet and as this deep earthy nourishing energy enters your feet you feel them relax and release even more and you feel that deep nourishing energy bringing a sense of healing,

Of wholeness,

Of connection into your feet and this energy penetrates every area of your feet and your toes,

Your soles,

Up into your ankles,

Moving up through your shins,

To your knees,

Sliding up through your thighs and your buttocks into your root chakra and your root chakra opens to receive this beautiful earth energy.

You feel your root chakra welcoming this grounding earth energy,

Welcoming and opening,

Expanding.

Your root chakra is a deep red and this red expands,

Brightens,

Front and back opening to receive this beautiful earthy energy.

Feel the expansion in that chakra at the root of your spine,

Filling your lower abdomen,

Connecting you deeply with the earth energy and feel any sensations there as your root chakra meets the earth and expands the energy of home,

Of nature and earth connection,

Of your sense of being connected with this planet which is your home.

And keep breathing deeply and breathing into this area and as this energy expands wider and wider to fill your entire body with this deep red energy.

Imagine it's as if a cave opens,

A cave of beautiful warm energy where you feel safe,

Supported,

Connected,

Contained.

You can become present and in this moment grounded with the earth and the earth meets you and allows you to drop any of your anxieties or worries into the earth to be absorbed,

Melted away as you are fully met by the earth.

So journey into this place now and as you do so visualize a beautiful place in nature,

Wherever is most meaningful for you,

Where you feel content,

Calm,

Peaceful.

So whether it's in beautiful countryside or by a river or in woodland,

On a mountain or by the sea,

Just see yourself there breathing in the fresh air,

Feeling sustained by this beautiful environment,

Feeling at home,

At peace,

For a moment,

Deliciously at one with your surroundings.

Sense a gentle breeze touch your skin,

The warmth of sun,

So you can sink into deep relaxation,

Deeply aware of your connection with the earth,

As your root chakra grows and activates,

Bringing this sense of oneness and home of support into your life,

The sense of tribe knowing that you are deeply connected to others,

As well as to the home of your earth.

To breathe in this beauty of nature,

Knowing that you are a part of all of this,

You belong,

This is your home,

You can trust the journey unfolding for you,

All is well.

Feel this gift of this present moment,

Whatever you need is here,

Have gratitude for this earth,

This beautiful planet that provides,

Nourishes,

Holds you.

Fool the obsession of fear,

Feel your connection,

And so now become aware of a bubble of protection surrounding you as you seal the front and back of your root chakra,

Maintaining this connection of roots to the earth so that at all times you can feel grounded and just bring yourself back to the breath when you need to be present once again.

Become aware of your body,

The weight of it,

The connection with whatever seat is beneath you.

Become aware of the room or the surroundings,

The sounds,

Your breath and rub your hands together just to warm them for a moment and place them over your eyes.

Just feel that inky blackness,

That velvet darkness over your eyes and then very gently in your own time you can take your hands away and open your eyes and come back to this day.

As we complete this guided root chakra meditation,

I wish you a beautiful day and many blessings as you move forward in your day.
