Earth Meditation
Duration: 21 minutes
INSTRUCTIONS
Sit comfortably with your eyes closed. Visualize a beautiful natural landscape, say a forest, a mountain or a valley. Visualize yourself as part of this scene, standing in this place.
Now, slowly, visualize your body crumbling gently to the earth. You are becoming the earth! You have become the earth, the soil.
Feel the cool, dark depths of yourself. The earth is very hidden and secret! Enjoy the cool rain seeping into your depths. Enjoy the fragrance of wet earth, of yourself. Can you feel the stirring of life inside you? Feel very clearly that plants are growing on you, their roots growing deep into you. Can you feel their movements inside yourself? They are swaying in the breeze, but they are safely rooted in you. You are solid and unmoving, the protector, the giver of life. You are Mother Earth.
Remain with this experience for a while.
Slowly, return to yourself. Spend a few moments with your eyes closed, visualizing your own form again. When you feel comfortable inside your own body, relax and open your eyes.
