Hello and thank you for joining Calm Your Koshes.
I welcome you to this guided meditation where we will be focusing on connecting to Mother Earth below.
Now,
I'm lucky enough to be staying in the country at the moment where we have this beautiful river at the back of our property.
So I thought that it would be nice for you and for myself to embrace this meditation by bringing the sounds of nature and the stream into the practice.
So when you're ready,
Find yourself a comfortable position.
Now this could be lying down or you could be sitting cross-legged or sitting on a chair where your feet are connecting with the earth.
Whatever feels comfortable for you.
And know that you are in a safe space,
A loving space,
And a quiet space for you to fully relax.
Just let's become aware of the breath,
Feeling the in-breath and feeling the out-breath.
As you breathe in,
Relax,
And as you breathe out,
Let go.
Deepening the in-breath as much as you can and on the exhale letting go of any tension.
Now if you haven't already,
I invite you to close your eyes.
And let's become aware of the bottoms of your feet and as well as the tips of your toes.
Your feet have been taking you so many places over the years and they deserve to fully relax and let go.
So allow relaxation to amplify in your feet by simply placing your awareness on them.
Breathe in deeply,
Feeling comfortable and relaxed.
All of your attention on the soles of your feet.
And start to imagine that this is what connects you to Mother Earth.
Each step you take has made a difference in your life and moved you through hard times as well as achievements.
Breathe in deeply and send your feet love and respect for everywhere they have taken you.
And now imagine the earth below you supporting your every move.
The ground is your place of connection and no matter how high up you go or how long your feet are elevated,
You are always becoming grounded once again.
Become aware of the ground below you wherever it may be and know that it is a source of pure connection to all there is.
And imagine now that from the bottoms of your feet,
The roots of your soul are growing and extending down towards the earth.
They make contact with the soil below wherever it may be and you feel the instant connection and security filled with unconditional love.
So relaxed as you feel this amazing connection with the earth.
Feel these strong roots that are unbreakable.
They are now going into the earth and taking root,
Allowing you to feel ultimate relaxation.
See these roots however they appear to you.
They could be your favorite color or like roots from a plant.
Feeling them grounding you,
The soles of your feet are strong and resilient.
You have found the link between you and the earth and this is a bond that cannot be broken.
You came from the earth and we are always connected to it.
Feel the union between you and the soil.
By becoming grounded on a daily basis,
You are strengthening the alliance between earth and human.
So allow the earth and all her love to teach you anything you need to know and listen with an open heart and mind.
Become familiar with the messages you hear and allow the earth to introduce you to the power of true connection.
You have made a strong alliance with the earth,
Grounding you in soul and body.
Now breathe in deeply and again imagine that you were drawing this powerful experience of connection up your legs to your root chakra at the base of your spine.
Feeling this bond relax your body as it releases any tension along the way.
Breathe in again,
Feeling the union of the earth and body traveling up into your hips and pelvis.
Your sacral chakra deeply relaxing you.
And now breathing fully and passionately,
Feel the partnership between humans and earth traveling up into your abdomens and your ribs where the solar plexus chakra lies.
Notice how being grounded is such a blessing.
Feel the connection travel into your chest and your lungs,
Gracing your heart with love.
Feeling your heart chakra expand with this motherly love.
The earth loves unconditionally and she forever gives and only hopes for care and respect in return.
That deep bond of love is traveling through the throat chakra along the neck,
Deleting any tension here.
And this relaxing sensation goes into your entire head,
Connecting with the third eye chakra,
The crown chakra and training all of your muscles and bones to become fully relaxed.
The alliance between you and the earth travels all the way to the very top of the head.
And notice how you feel right now.
You are fully grounded.
A perfect combination between earth and flesh.
There is a deep relationship between you and the earth,
One that cannot be broken and must always be nurtured.
You and the earth have formed a relationship,
A partnership,
One that makes you feel completely loved and cared for.
And now hear yourself saying these positive words reflecting true connection to the ground below.
Togetherness.
Partnership.
Unified.
Connected.
Alliance.
Grounded.
Good.
Now imagine again those roots coming from the soles of your feet.
They have now grown deep into the earth.
You can feel the connection to others around the world.
And now begin to slowly draw your awareness to the present moment.
Return your thoughts to your current surroundings.
Breathe in deeply.
And feeling forever connected to the earth and all of her wisdom.
And whenever you are ready,
I invite you to open your eyes and give thanks for the earth and your connection.
I hope you've enjoyed today's grounding meditation and the sounds coming from Mother Earth.
Namaste.
