Meditation (May 2009)

Earth Healing Meditation - for personal awareness

This meditation is intended to help clarify our relationships with Gaia, our planet


Sit comfortably and choose a 20-45 minute period (or longer) when you will not be disturbed.

Be aware of your breathing, not forcing it, just watching it...   (1 minute)

Notice the air entering your body, bringing with it molecules that have been around the world... connecting you with every part of this planet...  (2 minutes)

Sense that you are connecting with Earth energies through your feet. Send down energy roots deep into the earth, and with each in-breath you sense Earth energies filling every aspect of your being. With each out-breath you release any tensions or other energies you are ready to let go of - to be composted deep in the earth... (The earth is a wonderful composter of energies as well as of physical matter.) And as you release these energies, you invite Gaia to release any of her tensions or other energies that she wants to release, to be transformed and cleared in other dimensions of reality...  (2 minutes)

Sense that you are connecting with the Infinite Source... With each in-breath, you invite the energies of the IS into every particle and energy of your being... With each out-breath, you release any further energies you want to let go of, to be transformed and cleared by the IS...    (2 minutes)

Sense that you are a part of the human collective consciousness... A consciousness that is a tapestry woven of many, diverse threads... Sense that you are at the top of the evolutionary tree, given the blessings of self-consciousness that sets you apart from all other consciousness... Sense that you are able to perceive the healings needed within all of creation... Ask the IS for energies of compassion and healing to flow through you and out to all of creation...   (5-10+ minutes)

Release the last awareness, returning to just being your breath, connecting to air, earth and IS... (1 minute)

Sense that you are an integral part of all consciousness on this planet... You are a wave on the ocean of awareness, both separate as an individual consciousness and completely linked with the ocean of consciousness of every aspect of this planet... all animals... all plants... all minerals - which also have a long history of consciousness - much longer by far than that of humanity... You are connected to the energies of the air, of Gaia, and of the Infinite Source... They are connected to these energies too... You celebrate your dance and song of awareness and co-existence with them... You invite healing to this vast collective consciousness - in the way that is of highest good for all...  (5-10+ minutes)

Giving thanks to the energies of the air, Gaia and IS, you gently bring yourself back to full awareness in the room. (1 minute)

Now take a little time to contemplate how it felt to connect in each of these manners (open time)
