Grounding and Centering Meditation

Close your eyes and breathe in deeply through your nose, filling your lungs all the way to your belly. As you exhale through the mouth, feel the stress of the day release. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Bring your awareness to the top of your head. Feel your body with loving attention as you bring your awareness down toward your pelvis. When you reach your pelvis imagine your energy forming roots around your hips. Continue your body scan as your roots begin to grow into the ground beneath you. Your roots grow through the rich dark soil, down through bedrock, through underground rivers, crystals, empty caverns, and molten magma. The magma feels warm and cleansing as your roots travel through it. As you approach the center of Mother Earth you see her core glowing brilliantly, She calls you forward to her. Your roots wrap securely around Her core, Her power pulses like a heartbeat. Slow and steady. Begin drawing the energy from the core of Mother Earth, up through magma, empty caverns, and crystals, through underground rivers, bedrock, and rich soil up through your legs, hips, your lower torso, upper torso, pausing briefly to fill your heart with loving, nurturing energy. Raise your energetic arms up as branches begin to form from them reaching higher and wider as leaves and flowers unfold to the infinite cosmos above. As you reach for the heavens, pure celestial energy rains down on your leaves, flowers, and branches. It flows down through your head, your upper torso, your heart space, your lower torso, down into the bowl of your hips, through your legs and roots. Take a moment to feel the energies moving through you, strengthening and energizing you. Know that you are safely anchored to Mother Earth, and free to expand through the Universe as you Will. Take a moment to notice your roots and branches mirror each other, two poles that support, nurture, and balance one another. As above, so below. Begin to draw more energy through your roots and branches, knowing that if you draw too much it will safely pass through your roots and branches rejoining the world around you. Bring your awareness to the inner space just below you navel, feel the earthly and celestial energies passing through. Guide these energies into a circular flow within this space, mixing them together, feel the interaction of these energies as they begin to circulate throughout your body, charging every individual cell. Expand your awareness through the vastness of the Universe, you are at the center of everything that exists in harmonious relationship to the All. Send your attention downwards through the vastness of space to the very edge of the Universe in that direction. There you find a brilliant crystal of quartz, glowing with iridescent ever changing colors. The crystal is pulsing with Divine, unconditional love. The crystal sends a steady beam of it’s light through the cosmos to your feet. It enters your body and flows to the space below your navel, then up to your heart space. Filling you with Divine, unconditional love. Send your awareness in front of you, out through the cosmos to the very edge where another crystal awaits, it sends another beam of Divine love through the Universe and into your navel space, travelling up to connect to your heart. Connect with the crystal behind you feeling it’s loving energy flow into your navel space and heart. Connect to the crystal on your right, left, and above. Take a moment to feel this new energy filling you from each direction, connecting together in your navel and travelling up into your heart. Any energy that is too much passes easily through your grounded roots safely leaving your body. Know that as you let the images fade you remain Deeply rooted, branched out, and centered in your world. Take a slow deep breath in through your nose, feeling your belly expand with air, as you exhale soft and slow through your mouth, feel the energy within begin to radiate outwards surrounding you on all sides in glowing mist. As you continue breathing long slow breaths feel the energy condense into a strong egg shaped container around you becoming stronger and more solid. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. You are creating an energetic shield. Your shield keeps unwanted energies away, while allowing energy that serves you to pass through as you call upon it. Take a moment to feel your own energy knowing you can return to this place any time you wish. As you let the image go you know that your shield remains in place until you choose to call it back within you. Gently bring your awareness back into your body, begin wiggling your fingers and toes. When you're ready, open your eyes.
