A Spiritually Enlightening Online Magazine. March's Theme: "Action and Inaction" Grounding ourselves whenever we meditate is so important. It assists us to stay connected while we travel to other dimensions within our mind, or other worlds. When we meditate and are not grounded, we feel light-headed and have a hard time as our mind will often wander rather than opening to the meditation. Then when we are finished meditating it can be hard to walk or even finish a sentence! So please remember to ground yourself before beginning any meditation.
Let's begin.
Take three deep cleansing breaths, in ease and exhale all the dis-ease of your day. Now for our second breath, IN-spiration and releasing any tension in your body and one more… IN-spiration and exhale any residual negativity.
Visualize a star in a nearby galaxy; this is the Heaven Star. A beam of light is coming out of the Heaven Star, feel yourself begin to draw this energy down, through the galaxy, towards Earth. Down through our atmosphere and down down down towards your crown chakra (top of your head). This light moves very slowly into your head, past your eyes, your cheeks, your jaw and into your neck. Then vertebra by vertebra it moves down your spine towards the base of your spine (1st chakra).
As this energy touches the base of your spine you feel it change. Roots begin to develop and weave their way down your legs, past your knees, slowly pushing their way down your calves and into your ankles. You feel them filling your feet and gently reaching out of the soles of your feet and pushing their way into the ground beneath you.
Deep into the Earth they glide, down down down until the roots touch the Earth Star. Winding themselves around the Earth Star they meld with this Star and begin to feed. The energy of the Earth Star pulsates up the roots, up up up through the ground until you feel it entering your feet.
Your roots continue to draw this wonderful grounding energy up, feeding on it, feeling its weight as you begin to feel ever more connected to the Earth.
Focusing on your feet. Whisper the word love to your feet. Thank them for all they do for you. Bringing you places, gifting you with balance. Appreciate your feet. Feel them filling up with love. Experience love. How does it feel?
Once your feet are filled with love send your love to your ankles. Gently work your way up your calves… sending them love. Finally send your knees love. Thank them for bending. Lowering you into chairs and assisting you to lift back up again. Thank them for all they do and send them love.
Your thighs are now filling with love, your hips, your buttocks… all filling with love. Love them completely. Feel your lower limbs filled with love. How does it feel?
Moving up your body, organ by organ. Fill them with love. Experience this love fully and completely. Thank your kidneys, your liver… thank your heart for beating and moving your blood around your body. As your heart fills with love visualize the love now flowing through your veins. Follow that for a moment before moving on.
Your arms are now filling with love as you send your purest most beautiful love to them. Your elbows, your wrists, your hands and fingers… fill them all with love.
Your neck is being loved now. Feel it. Experience it.
Send your face, your cheeks, your ears, your brain love. Love your hair. Love your tongue and your teeth. Love, love, love…
Now your entire body is filled with love. Sit in this feeling. How different do you feel now?
When you are done, make a mental note to do this again. Perhaps every night before sleep. What a beautiful gift to give yourself.
