Hello,
My name is Allie and thank you for joining me for this restorative and rejuvenating meditation for spring.
Here in the northern hemisphere,
The earth is awakening from a winter slumber.
Sap is pulsing through the trees,
Salamanders are leaving their subterranean dwellings in search of vernal pools to breed,
And ancient skunk cabbages are re-emerging in the wetlands.
As we tilt towards the sun,
There is a resurgence of energy that is felt deep within all beings.
A rebirth,
An energetic new year,
A time to sow seeds and carefully,
Patiently tend to them so that they take root,
Grow,
And manifest into something authentically themselves.
I invite you to sit comfortably,
If going outside is an option for you,
Perhaps venture there,
Moving slowly with intention to a place that feels right for you.
And once you've found this place,
Begin to settle in,
Closing down the eyes or softening your gaze,
Adjusting the body with care and attention,
Allowing the shoulders to release away from ears,
The spine to lengthen,
And maintain a softness throughout the body.
Allow the muscles of the face to soften,
Releasing your tongue away from the roof of the mouth,
And the jaw becoming heavy.
Let's invite a deep cleansing breath in through the nose,
And a long cleansing exhale out through the mouth,
Again inhaling in through the nose,
Filling the lungs and the belly,
And a deep long exhale out through the mouth,
Releasing and letting go.
Once more at your own pace,
Inhaling and exhaling,
Letting go.
These deeper breaths grounding you into this present moment,
Returning to the natural rhythm of the breath,
Begin to notice the sounds within your space,
The different scents,
And any sensations that may arise within the body.
And bring your attention to the base of your spine.
This is where the muladhara chakra resides,
The root chakra.
This energetic space is associated with the earth element.
I invite you now to envision yourself planting a seed in this space at the base of your spine.
This seed may represent peace,
Compassion,
Trust,
Confidence.
Choose something you'd like to grow within yourself.
You may choose to plant the seed of a wildflower,
A tree,
An herb,
Perhaps a fruit,
Whatever your heart desires in this moment.
Take some time to visualize tenderly planting this seed,
Tucking the seed into the soil at the base of your spine.
And once you are finished planting this seed,
Water it generously.
As you continue to water,
You begin to see a glowing strand of light emerge from the seed.
Spots of light begin to form within the root chakra.
And with each breath,
They begin to expand,
Finding their way from the base of your being into the earth beneath you.
A beautiful,
Vibrant connection begins to form between you and the earth.
A feeling of groundedness,
Safety,
And stability washes through your body and your spirit as these glowing roots grow and travel further,
Exploring the different soil layers beneath you.
The soil is pulsing with life force and nourishment.
As roots of light that extend from your being begin to draw up vital nutrients,
They pause to communicate with ancient and wise microorganisms.
And as the roots continue to spread,
You become one with this underground web of reciprocity.
You humbly receive this pure medicine.
And as you breathe steadily,
You soak up this energy and absorb it into your entire body.
This energy restores and renews your being,
Replenishing the reserves within you so that the seed you have planted can grow.
A simultaneous action of rooting down into the earth and rising up towards the sky.
As these roots transmit energy into your body,
Your whole being is illuminated with healing light,
Medicinal,
Loving light.
I invite you to silently repeat the following affirmations to yourself or simply receive them.
I am creating space for growth and vitality in my life.
I nourish my body,
Mind,
And spirit with the healing energy of the earth.
I am grateful for my deep,
Strong,
And resilient roots.
I am cultivating my highest,
Most authentic self.
I am raising my vibration.
I am grateful for the creative,
Hopeful,
And inspiring energy of spring.
Slowly begin to invite a deeper inhalation in through the nose.
And a long exhalation out through the mouth.
Repeating this twice more at your own pace.
Inhaling.
Exhaling.
Inhaling.
Exhaling.
Thank you for listening to this guided meditation.
I trust that this spring energy will bring you hope and inspiration and love.

May you be one with all.
With love.
Gratitude.
Allie.
