Grounding ~ The 5 Minute Meditation
Create a quiet and comfortable space for your body.
Settle into your chair with your feet flat on the floor and your hands resting comfortably in your lap and facing skyward.
State your intention that you want to connect to Source energy through your heart center and the center of the planet, creating a circle of Light.
Take three deep cleansing breaths.
Visualize a connection from your Heart Center directly to Source, then from the base of your spine through the center of the planet to Source. This can be a ribbon of light, a waterfall, tree roots, a lightning bolt, rings of connected daisies, anything that resonates with you. Let this be your unique connection.
Visualize this connection passing through Source energy and flowing into and from your Heart Center
Breathe deeply and allow yourself to feel this connection and flow of energy.
Allow your tensions, thoughts and distractions to fall away.
Feel yourself settling into your body.
Keep breathing deeply throughout this exercise and allow the thoughts and images that come up to pass through.
When you feel centered and peaceful, visualize a Golden Sun of energy above your head. Allow this warm, golden light to flood into the top of your head, spreading throughout every cell in your body, filling you with the energy of your highest essence. Allow this energy to fill the space around your body (your aura).
State your intention to feel your connection to your Heart Center and allow this feeling to expand.
If you have been running on adrenalin, you may experience feeling tired. If you have been holding on to the energies of others, you may experience a sense of relief. If you have been lost in negative thoughts and feelings, you may experience a sense of peace, an uplifting of your spirits. You may experience a tingling sensation. This is your healing energy beginning to flow. You may feel energized. Do not judge your reaction.
Once you have established this connection, know what it feels like and can visualize it, you may use this technique at any time. When you become ungrounded, take a deep breath and simply ground yourself to your heart center and Source through the center of the planet.
Always ground yourself before any meditation.
