ROOTED IN THE EARTH🔗

ABOUT THE MEDITATION

This technique is for people who experience some unsteadiness and a trembling in the legs upon waking up in the morning. This is usually because of a feeling of 'uprootedness', a lack of connection with the earth. We have lost our grounding, our direct contact with the earth. Earth is a powerful nurturing and centering force. Not only do we miss this energy, we experience some deeply hidden insecurity when we lose our connection with the earth.

Most of the time, we are not aware that our simply physical problems have an emotional dimension. Once we know what the real problem is, it can be addressed directly.

DURATION: Not Applicable

Step 1:

First thing after getting out of bed, stand in a relaxed way with your feet about six inches apart. Put your full weight on one foot, leaving the other foot totally free and relaxed. Then shift your weight to the other foot, releasing the first foot and allowing it to be free.

Repeat this process four to five times. Feel the shift of energy from one foot to the other each time.

Now, put your weight equally on both feet. Be perfectly balanced. Keep moving slightly and you will feel the perfect balance. This will give you a feeling of centeredness and strength in your legs.

Step 2:

Whenever you can, put your feet in direct contact with the earth. If there is a beach nearby where you can go running barefoot on the sand, wonderful! If not, in a park or garden or wherever you can find a patch of bare earth, takeoff your shoes and absorb the earth energy. Not only will your legs get stronger, you will start feeling more relaxed and centered as well.
