To prepare yourself for this grounding meditation,
Remove any distractions that you might have.
Turn off your cell phone,
Turn off your TV.
Just create a quiet place where you'll not be disturbed.
And if you can,
Do this meditation outside with your bare feet.
With your bare feet on the ground,
In the grass,
Or on the beach,
It will greatly enhance your experience.
Now to begin,
Place your hands with your palms facing down on the tops of your thighs.
Close your eyes,
And through your nose take a deep,
Slow breath in,
Filling your lungs.
And slowly exhale from your mouth.
And again another slow,
Deep breath in through the nose,
And out through the mouth.
And one last time,
Slow,
Deep breath in through the nose.
Once again filling those lungs,
And exhale.
Simply allowing your mind and body to relax.
Relax into this moment.
With no past,
No future,
Only the here and now.
Letting your breath be easily find its own comfortable,
Natural rhythm.
Just become aware now of all the tension that was held in your body beginning to release.
Allowing your body to profoundly and completely relax.
Just take a moment now and really become aware.
Really feel the change you are creating within yourself right now.
Now imagine a golden,
Healing light shining down onto the top of your head.
Allow this golden,
Sparkling light to enter the top of your head,
Flowing down,
Down into your forehead.
Feel it just above your eyebrows,
In the center of your forehead.
Notice how this feels for you,
As this golden light enters the center of your forehead.
And this healing light continues now,
Down,
Down your neck.
Feel it now in the center of your throat.
Continuing down your chest,
Becoming aware of this warm golden light settling in and entering your heart.
Feel the expansion this creates.
Become aware of any sensations that this is creating within you now.
Sensations that are unique to you.
Feel them growing stronger and stronger through this expansion of your heart.
Being aware of any colors or images or sensations that enter your mind.
When this energy continues its journey,
Down your body,
Down,
Down into your stomach,
Releasing,
Relaxing,
Just letting go.
Down,
Down into the base of your spine.
This energy now flowing easily and effortlessly from the top of your head,
All the way down,
Down to the base of your spine.
Feeling open and balanced.
Now prepare to go even further,
Even deeper into your journey.
Getting this energy to go even further now.
Down from the top of your head,
All the way down,
Down your body,
Down your legs,
Into your ankles,
And out the bottoms of your feet.
This energy now flowing down,
Down into the earth from the bottoms of your feet,
Taking with it anything that is no longer needed physically or emotionally.
Feel it leaving your body,
Traveling down into the earth from the bottoms of your feet,
Quickly,
Powerfully traveling down,
Down through the crust of the earth.
See it,
Feel it,
Twisting and turning down through the crust of the earth.
This energy moving down,
Down into the mantle of the earth.
Feel the change,
The change that this energy takes as it enters the mantle of the earth.
Feel its temperature,
Feel its energy.
Become aware of what you feel,
What you see,
What you hear.
This energy moves deeper now,
Even deeper,
Down into the earth's core.
Feel the energy flowing down through the bottoms of your feet,
All the way down,
Down into the earth's core.
It is here that your energy is transformed,
Transmuted,
Becoming centered,
Becoming whole.
Any negative energy,
Feelings or emotions you once had,
Being absorbed by the earth.
Releasing all your fears,
Releasing all your troubles,
All your worries.
Allow yourself to release these things to her now.
And the earth wishes to send this transformed energy back to you.
Allow yourself to receive these gifts from her.
As this energy begins to rise from the core,
Swiftly moving up,
Up through the mantle of the earth,
Up through the crust of the earth,
Through the bedrock,
Moving its way through underground waters,
All the way up,
Up into the bottoms of your feet.
Effortlessly,
Just let it move up,
Up through your body.
Open yourself to this rising earth energy.
As it fills your legs,
Up through the base of your spine,
Simply filling you as it moves up,
Up through your body,
Filling your heart.
Feel the warmth and heat relaxing and energizing all at the same time.
As it moves up,
Up through your throat,
Up into your forehead.
This energy filling your head and your mind,
All the way up now through the top of your head,
Traveling far above you.
Traveling far above you to where it touches the stars,
Now spreading out like branches in the sky.
Your energy now becoming starlight.
And when you're ready,
Returning your awareness to your surroundings,
Beginning to feel that urge to move and stretch your body,
Becoming aware of the sounds around you,
And slowly opening your eyes,
Allowing your environment to come into focus,
Now carrying with you this grounded earth energy.
