Meditate a Momentfeaturing: Aleesha Stephenson 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. Allow the deep connection your are feeling with the Earth Star energy and the light connection you are experiencing with the Heaven Star energy to connect within your heart chakra. Feel them mixing and melding together. As they continue to mix you feel a bubble of light beginning to form. Allow it to grow, every so slowly, bigger and bigger until it leaves your chest cavity and begins to encapsulate your body. It's growing larger, you can feel it beyond your shoulder and hips. Continue allowing this bubble to grow until it is so expansive you can no longer see it's edges. Feel this beautiful energy from the Earth and Heaven Star mingling within your entire Being. Now bring your focus back into your body. Find your original strand of the Heaven Star which came down through your body and imagine yourself walking up it, like a set of stairs. Up your spine, into your skull and into your brain. Sit down inside your brain and gently put loving, healing thoughts into it. State them clearly so your brain can take them in and accept them as truth. I am a light, lean, healthy being. Adding more affirmations for your Self and your journey… sit within the tapestry of your brain until you feel like you have completed all you need to do. Then gently get up and climb back down the staircase into your heart. Feel the mingling of energies filling your body as you relax in a field of flowers. Lay there, feeling the cool damp earth beneath your body. A breeze gently caresses your skin and the flowers are releasing their scent into the air. Cherish this moment… relax, relax, relax. When you are ready, simply open your eyes, feeling refreshed and refueled and ready to meet the rest of this day. namaste' Aleesha Stephenson is the Publisher, Editor, Graphic and Web Designer as well as a Regular Columnist for Timeless Spirit Magazine.
