Grounding meditation

 Ground/center: Sit or stand in a comfortable position, preferably with your feet flat on the ground (you don’t have to be barefoot)

Breathe deep, feeling your connection to the ground beneath you. Feel yourself extend roots into the earth, sinking deep into it’s strength. Feel your worries and cares slide down the roots, into the earth, carried by the excess energy you’ve picked up from the world around you, and pushed out as you exhale.

Now, breathe deeply and feel the sun on your skin; lift your arms, and feel the light and warmth enter you, filling your core; feel the cool, dark strength of the earth flow back along your roots, up your legs and into your core, merging with the light and warmth.
