Find a seated position, where you are as uprightas your body allows, relaxing your face and shoulders while feeling a gentlelift at the crown of your head and sternum. Feel free to keep your eyes open orclosed during this guided meditation. Enjoy a few deep breaths in and out through your nose. Feel a full expanse through bellyand ribs as you breath, and a gentle pulling in and centering of belly andribs as you fully breathe out.Bring your attention to your root chakra, often described as a wheel of energy at the base of your spine, right above your tailbone. Imagine a clay-red spiral of lightrooting you to the earth. Feel the connection of your sit bones to the supportbeneath them. Imagine that spiral of clay-red light circling round the spacedat the back of your hips just below your lower back, spiraling down and aroundyour tailbone, then moving down into the earth, creating a foundation where yourcan sit with stability and ease. Bring awareness to the muscles at the back ofyour hips, your glutes down to the back of your thighs, then around your outerthighs to the front, then to your inner thighs. Bring awareness to your knees—inner,outer, front, and back of your knees. Notice the lower part of your legs—calves,shins. Bring awareness to your ankles, tops of your feet, bottoms of your feet,toes. Bring awareness to how you feel in the space you occupy in this moment. Aware of your connection to your body, also become aware of your connection to place. Notice whatthoughts and emotions arrive in this moment, in this space. Breathe. As youbreathe in, imagine bringing air in as a glowing clay-red spiral from your toesto the base of your spine. As you breathe out, imagine sending that spiral downfrom the base of your spine, through your hips, legs, feet, and out throughyour toes. Gently repeat to yourself, as it is true for you, “I am safe in this place. I am safe in thismoment. I am safe in my body.” Again, as it is true for you, and whatever istrue for you in this moment and in the space, repeat to yourself, “I am safe inthis place. I am safe in this moment. I am safe in my body.” Find a deep breathin, deep breath out. Bring your awareness once more the support beneath your seat. If seated on the ground, bringyour fingers to the ground at either side of your hips. If seated in a chair,bring your fingers to either the arms or sides of your chair. Move through yourday or into rest feeling grounded, stable, and connected to your physical selfand space. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace.
