Exercise
This
breathing meditation technique is for grounding your body. It will help you feel
connected to the earth and make you feel stable and balanced. This is especially
good as a warm up exercise for a general chakra meditation.
Step 1
Sit
on a chair and place your feet flat on the ground. Keep your back straight and
let your hands rest on your lap. Close your eye and take a moment to get
comfortable and calm.
Step 2
Take
three deep breaths to get rid of tension in your body. Relax your muscles. Let
the air remove any worries that you may have. Feel your muscles become loose.
Now breathe normally.
Step 3
Move
your attention to your feet. Visualize that root are beginning to grow out of
them and in to the floor. Do it slowly and use your senses to see and feel these
growing roots. You can feel how something is growing out of your feet and how
they are a part of you. Make them longer and let them penetrate the floor. If
you are in an apartment, let them reach the level under you and continue to let
them grow through the floor.
Step 4
Now
the roots are reaching the ground. The real soil of nature. Feel the dirt around
your root as they penetrate it. Feel the bumpy and uneven soil. Smell it. the
root are still growing and are moving toward the center of the earth. Continue
to let them grow until you get there.
Step 5
Now
the root has reached the center of the earth. Take a deep breath and imagine,
that you are breathing in through these long roots. You are sucking up energy
from the earth. Picture it as a bright white light or any colour you prefer.
Move the energy up through your root and let it enters your feet, moving further
up in to your body. For every breath that you take you are draining the earth
from energy and gathering it inside of you, making your body become brighter and
brighter from all the energy that is entering. Feel the energy inside of you. If
you can, feel it vibrate as a strong electrical field.
Continue
this exercise for at least 10 minutes.
