Hello,
Love,
And welcome to this earth journey.
Go ahead and find a comfortable place to lay down,
Ideally on the earth outside,
Somewhere soft.
But if you cannot do that,
I invite you to find somewhere in your space to lay down.
And you can close your eyes and just visualize yourself laying on the earth,
On the wet grass,
Feeling the soft earth dirt beneath you,
Feeling the breeze,
Smelling those fresh nature smells.
I'm going to call in the directions for us,
A way to symbolically invite all of creation to be present for this process and to support this process.
Oh,
Great spirit of the north,
We come to you and ask for the strength and the power to bear what is cold and harsh in life.
We come like buffalo,
Ready to receive the winds that truly can be overwhelming at times.
Whatever is cold and uncertain in our life,
We ask you to give us the strength to bear it.
Do not let the winter blow us away.
Oh,
Spirit of life and spirit of the north,
We ask you for strength and for warmth.
Oh,
Great spirit of the east,
We turn to you where the sun comes up from where the power of light and refreshment come.
Everything that is born comes up in this direction.
The birth of babies,
The birth of ideas,
The birth of friendships,
Let there be light.
Oh,
Spirit of the east,
Let the color of fresh rising in our life be glory to you.
Oh,
Great spirit of the south,
Spirit of all that is warm and gentle and refreshing,
We ask you to give us the spirit of growth,
Of fertility,
Of gentleness.
Caress us with the cool breeze when the days are hot.
Give us seeds that the flowers,
Trees,
And fruits of the earth may grow.
Give us the warmth of good friendship.
Oh,
Spirit of the south,
Send the warmth and the growth of your blessings.
Oh,
Great spirit of the west,
Where the sun goes down each day to come up the next,
We turn to you in praise of sunsets and in thanksgiving for changes.
You are the great colored sunset of the red west,
Which illuminates us.
You are the powerful cycle,
Which pulls us to transformation.
We ask for the blessings of the sunset to keep us open to life's changes.
Just bringing awareness to your breath,
Breathing into the body,
Feeling the earth beneath you,
Which with each breath,
Just sinking a little deeper into the earth's surface,
Continuing to allow the breath of life,
This life force energy to flow through you,
Bring your awareness to your root chakra.
And as we are laying on the earth,
The roots from your root chakra will start to be sent down from your coccyx,
From the base of your spine,
Perpendicular into the earth,
Breaking through that soft surface,
Seeing it wiggle through that soft earth,
Down,
Down,
Down.
Seeing your roots grow one body's length beneath you,
And breathing into your roots here,
Letting them expand,
And allowing these roots to deepen down,
And as they deepen,
They widen,
They grow laterally,
They strengthen,
And you continue to breathe into them,
Feeling this connection with the earth.
And as you continue to breathe with each breath,
You start sinking into the earth,
Your body itself sinks into the earth,
And as you continue to sink lower and lower,
You are encapsulated within the earth,
Almost like a womb space.
And although you cannot see,
You feel deeply held,
It's like you are back in your mother's womb,
Feeling the warmth,
Feeling the hug,
Feeling supported,
And here you feel truly safe.
As you breathe,
Your body,
Your nervous system begins to sync up with the rhythm,
The pace of our earth mother.
And in this place,
I invite you to ask our mother for what you need.
What is it that you want to feel supported in?
Where do you want to feel security,
Safety?
Where can she hold you,
Knowing that she is always here,
Ready to hold,
And all you have to do is ask.
You do not have to do this alone,
You can speak what you would like support and security and safety with out loud,
Or internally,
She will hear you either way.
And when you feel complete,
You hear her say,
It is done.
And you know that from this place of safety,
Security,
Not stagnation,
You feel the stillness and the safety,
Yet there is a dynamic nature to it,
There is that forward movement still,
That creative energy that wants to birth through.
She slowly begins to move you back towards the surface,
Up,
Up,
Up.
She opens this womb space and you feel father son warming your body,
You feel the breeze of the winds on your skin,
You smell the earth smells,
And keeping your eyes closed,
You slowly begin to wiggle your toes and your fingers,
Bringing that life force energy breath through you,
And you slowly come up to a seated position,
And before opening your eyes,
Just notice this sensation,
This feeling,
And as you bring your awareness back to the space around you here on the earth,
Your roots are going to be continued to be carried with you throughout this day,
Keeping you connected to the earth,
Grounded,
Secure and safe within yourself and your body,
You can take a moment to offer gratitude to the earth mother,
And we will also say thank you to the winds of the east for being here with us,
Thank you to the winds of the south,
Thank you to the winds of the west,
And thank you to the winds of the north,
We love you,
We honor you,
And thank you for being here,
And in that we close the directions,
And I invite you to open your eyes slowly,
Come back to this place,
Carry this energy with you,
From this place perhaps you feel inspired to create,
To channel,
To move,
To dance,
Let this energy flow through in however it feels inspired.
