Grounding While Laying Down Meditation

You could use this meditation for those CE-5s where you are lying on a blanket under the stars.

Please lie on your back, supported comfortably by pillows, or whatever you need. You should be comfortably warm, but still cool enough that you stay awake…

Take a deep breath in... and as you exhale… just allow yourself to feel the support of whatever you’re lying on… take another deep breath in, and as you exhale… just feel that support on your back… and on the backs of your legs… feel that support on your heels and on your arms.

Now… take another deep breath in… and as you exhale... feel the temperature of the air on your cheek… really notice it... is it warm… is it cool… is it just right… is the temperature of the air the same on both cheeks… allow yourself to gently notice this...

Now… take another deep breath in… and as you let it out, just notice how well your head is supported… and how relaxed you feel… And as you relax, you can begin to notice how whatever you’re lying on is a part of the earth. Whatever it is made from comes, in one way or another, from the earth, whether it’s feathers that come from ducks that walked the earth and were fed by it or whether it is wood from trees that grew in the earth or even carpet made from oil from inside the earth... or something else entirely… and so you ARE lying on the earth. And you can imagine that you are lying directly on the earth… maybe you’re lying on a pile of leaves or on the forest floor or in a field of grass or on a beach or some other wonderful natural place… you are lying on the earth…

And you can begin to allow your muscles to just melt into the earth… let your arms melt… let your legs melt… let your ribcage melt... just feel them sinking into the earth… and you can imagine their energy flowing down through the dirt beneath you… down into the bedrock… down through the bedrock into the earth’s mantle… flowing down through the earth’s mantle quickly and easily… down into the molten core of the earth.

Now imagine that this flow of energy is a giant cord, a giant grounding cord, connecting every cell in your body to the very centre of the earth. And now imagine that Mother Earth is sending you her love, as energy, up this grounding cord. You may see this energy as… a beam of light in a particular colour, flowing up… or you may feel it as a temperature or a texture, or you may even hear it as a tone… or a harmony… And allow this lovely energy to rise… up from the core of the earth, up through the earth’s mantle, up into the earth’s crust and through the earth’s crust, up into the bedrock below you, up into the dirt, up into your waiting cells. And each and every one of your cells soaks up Mother Earth’s love and knows it is connected to Mother Earth. And each cell is renewed and refreshed by its connection to Mother Earth.

Mother Earth wants you to have lots of energy. So, as you come back to normal, waking awareness, you begin to move around, easily and gently.

Perhaps you move your fingers and toes, and now your hands and feet. And now your legs and arms and even your head and torso. You feel… aware…awake… alive… refreshed… and ready to go!
