Hello my darlings and welcome to a guided meditation for centering and grounding.
Let’s do some Magical Crafting
If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, unfocused, or under stress, a grounding meditation
can help you reconnect with the Earth’s energy.
Energy can be lost and you can feel drained when you are stressed.
Grounding meditations help you reconnect your body with the Earth’s energy.
You may find that this exercise can help reduce stress, pain, and fatigue, and improve sleep.
Grounding meditations can slow your heart rate, increase electrical activity in the
brain, and normalize cortisol levels.
Grounding can also lead to deeper quality of meditation if you meditate frequently.
Being centered means feeling very balanced and at peace.
It is often referred to as a state of emotional and spiritual equilibrium.
Along with grounding, the visualizations in this guided meditation strive to center and
balance the mind.
Start off by finding a quiet space to sit.
Find a comfortable seated position, preferably on the ground to increase your connection
to the Earth, however you can also visualize your connection reaching down into the earth
below you if you are not touching the Earth.
Rest your hands in your lap, or at your sides - whichever feels more natural to you.
You may also remain standing or choose to lie down as well - do what is ever most comfortable
for you.
Take a deep breath in through the nose and slowly let it out.
We all breathe at a different rate, so find a comfortable breath for you.
As you begin to observe your breath, you may notice that it slows down.
Fill your lungs only as much as you are comfortable with, and exhale slowly.
Breathe naturally.
We will relax the body and then move on to grounding.
Let your body relax with every exhalation of breath.
Relax your face muscles and your jaw.
Lower your shoulders and elongate your neck and spine.
Allow your limbs to become heavy.
Fall into peace and stillness.
The grounding meditation begins with a body scan from the top of your head to the base
of your spine.
Starting at the top of your head, focus as you take a slow, deep breath in.
Imagine you are pulling up energy from the Earth with your breath.
Think about the earth and the elements, and perceive yourself as part of the earth, not
separate from it.
You are part of the soil under your feet, the air rustling through the branches, the
water flowing through the lakes and streams and the unpredictable fire racing through
the dry brush.
As you exhale, clear away any chaotic or negative thoughts.
Imagine them flowing away, into the earth.
Breathe in and out as many times as you need to, until you feel calm and your mind is clear.
Imagine the negative energy returning to the earth with each exhalation and dissipating
completely.
Move your focus to the space between your eyes, the middle of your forehead, your mind’s
eye, focus there as you take in another slow, deep breath.
Draw in that energy and allow it to help you see yourself beyond the material world.
Allow thoughts and feelings to melt away as you focus on your greater purpose.
You may not find it today, but allow any negative energy to be replaced with fresh, new positive
energy.
Visualize where you want to be, or what you want to do without the constraints of real
life.
Harness that positive energy into finding peace within yourself.
And now, move your focus to the throat now.
Take in a slow, deep breath and slowly exhale.
As you exhale, know that you are clearing away any negative conversations you have had.
Breathe in and know that you are empowered to express yourself honestly and truthfully.
As you breath out, imagine the energy from any negative communications returning to the
Earth and dissipating.
The refreshed energy you bring in as you breathe in will help you speak the truth and your
opinions clearly.
Slowly, move your focus to the center of your chest, fill your lungs and exhale.
Draw in another deep breath and push out any negative emotions you have as you exhale.
If your heart is troubled, imagine your heart becoming stronger with each breath in.
Allow healing to happen with each inhalation and exhalation.
Positive energy is being drawn to your heart space, and stagnate or hurtful energy is moving
out of your body and being returned to the Earth.
There to dissipate and dissolve away.
Move your focus to your torso, just below your ribs, inhale and exhale slowly.
Reconnect with your gut feelings, as they know you best.
With each breath in, visualize renewed guidance coming into your life.
Allow doubts to be exhaled with each breath and know they will be recycled by the Earth.
With each breath you draw in, feel new energy enter your body and know that your intuition
is strong.
Slowly move your focus to just below your belly button.
As you take a slow, deep breath in, hold it for a moment and then release it.
As you breathe in bring with your breath your passions and your joys.
Think of what ignites your imagination, your creativity.
Breathe out.
As you exhale, let go of apathy and stagnation.
Allow each breath to help you tap into your emotions and desires.
Use the new energy you bring in to inflame parts of you that have been smoldering, or
were extinguished.
Imagine things you want to do and allow the renewed energy to help you make that happen.
Finally, move your focus to the base of your spine.
This is where your body, mind and soul connect, with the Earth.
Feel the positive energy being drawn into your body upward from the Earth with each
inhalation.
Feel any left over negative energy leave your body though each exhalation.
The Earth will take all you give to it.
As your body takes in the new, healing energy, feel its warmth spread throughout your body.
Be at peace.
It is now time to bring your awareness back to the moment.
Working from your feet up, slowly begin to move.
Wiggle your toes…
flex your feet…
move your legs…
wiggle your fingers...
bring awareness back to your body.
Feel the renewed sense of energy and calmness inside you.
