| Here is a meditation you can use to get yourself grounded, centered and for remembering who you are. The first step is to feel your connection with the earth. It is useful if you have your feet on the ground to imagine a magnetic force attracting your feet to the ground; but you can do this while lying down or sitting cross-legged also. Just imagine that force connecting you to the ground. Spend a moment feeling that: feeling the depth of your connection to this planet, to this physical world. Being grounded also implies being connected with all the physical aspects of yourself. So now take a moment to become aware of your whole body. Start with your head; feel the energetic presence in your scalp and work down through your forehead, eyes, mouth, ears, back of your head, throat, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, fingers. Then move down your back, the front of your body, your chest, heart, solar plexus, navel, hips, pelvis, legs, ankles and feet. Bring as much of this energy into conscious awareness as you can, for it is here you will become aware of any blockages to your energy, perhaps because of trapped or blocked emotions. By coming into conscious awareness of the sensations of your body you can become grounded. The next step is to concentrate on your breathing, taking slow, relaxed breaths and relaxing your body as much as possible on every out-breath. When you are feeling relaxed, start to remember that the largest part of you is non-physical: pure Source Energy. Imagine that your body is not anywhere near as solid as you have been led to believe, but, in fact, is alive with vibration and is only vibration. Imagine that being pure Source Energy feels like. Focus on your bodily sensations as much as you can and feel yourself becoming less dense, much more a being of vibratory qualities. As you keep your focus on these sensations and ignore thoughts that arise, keep your awareness on the sensations in your body. The sensations will grow stronger and your body will relax more and more. You will remember who you are which is a truly spiritual being made from love, vibrating with love. The sensations you feel all emanate from love. Allow yourself to relax more and more deeply into them and know the peace and calm that comes from remembering who you are. The more you can stay in this state and stay focused on what you feel, letting thoughts dissipate, the deeper and stronger your connection with this pure love will become. The more you do this meditation, the easier it will become to connect with the love. |
