A Simple Yet Effective Grounding Meditation Exercise

A Simple Yet Effective Grounding Meditation Exercise

1. Sit or stand in a comfortable position, with your back straight but not rigid.

2. Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose. When you are ready, breathe out through your nose, and relax.

3. Proceed to let your breath flow slowly and naturally without pause - in and out. Breathe calmly and without restriction.

4. Gently focus your attention on your root chakra at the base of your spine.

5. Imagine a connection opening up between your root chakra and the Earth. This connection can take many forms and can be different each time you practice. Some like to visualize it as a tree trunk or roots, a hollow bamboo stalk, a silver tube, a beam of light, a flow of menstrual blood, and so on.

6. Visualize this energetic connection extending from your root chakra down into Mother Earth, passing through the crust and bedrock, deep into the planet's molten mantle or metallic core.

7. Once you have formed this connection, allow any overwhelming emotional sensations or negative energies - such as fear, anger, lethargy, panic, hyperactivity, grief, shame, guilt, or anxiety - to flow through your connection down into the center of Mother Earth. 

8. There, in a fiery blast, see the energy purified and returned back to you as a safe, loving, peaceful, accepting, and comforting Life Force.

9. Take your time to maintain this flowing connection - overwhelming energy down, soothing energy back up.

10. Practice your grounding meditation regularly. As you move through your day, consciously remind yourself to ground, and then perform this meditation again. Notice the difference that it makes in your mood, stability, and calmness. Whenever you feel off-balance or fearful, continue to perform this meditation and you will see positive results.
