in drawing on earth energy, we allow for the earth to support us, to hold and nurture us.by grounding we tap into the abundant and limitless resource that is the earth. by learning and practicing grounding, we access energy that is always available to us, instead of drawing on and depleting all of our own reserves.

while learning to ground, it can deepen your sensation of connecting with earth energy by standing for this exercise. seated or standing is fine though.

we return to the breath, and as you exhale bring your attention to your feet planted firmly on the earth. feel the weight of gravity as the earth holds you.

imagine the soles of your feet opening up as earth energy begins to rise up from beneath you. fresh blades of green grass grow up towards you, and begin to pass thru the soles of your feet.
as the grass rises upwards, it is followed by tender roots, and rich fertile soil. allow the slow moving ascension of earth energy to rise up thru your feet, your legs, the roots twining in a spiral around your bones, your tendons, the grasses weaving themselves up and around your calves, your thighs, you can smell the richness of the soil as it rises up the legs to meet your hips, the base of your tailbone, your root.

green earth energy passes upwards thru your tailbone, rising up thru your sexual center.
see, smell and feel the green of earth energy filling your insides, penetrating your organs, bringing fresh oxygen into your blood, replenishing your cells,
activating, nourishing, feeding your entire being with earth energy.

the grass, the roots, and the soil continue to rise upwards, filling the space behind your ribcage, up into your chest, encircling your heart in a soft grassy green embrace. the earth energy pauses to make a soft little nest for your heart to rest upon and be held and nourished by. and out of this nest bloom beautiful soft smelling flowers that reach up towards your neck and grow within and without, creating a necklace of vibrant flowers all around your neck and even growing up into your hair.

the earth energy flows down your arms, the roots twining themselves around your bones, the grasses weaving around your forearms, down to your wrists, soil falling out through your finger tips.
the earth energy continues to rise up your neck, and penetrates your brain, your sinuses, green grass and tender roots and fertile soil filling your head with earth energy, calming and soothing the mind, grounding your thoughts, your awareness connected to the earth beneath you.

the earth is within you, as you too are within the earths embrace.

as that earth energy swirls and continues to rise slowly in your head, the top of your skull opens up on a hinge, and out of the crown of your head reaches a beautiful pair of antlers, majestic and regal, and these antlers reach upwards towards the heavens, and you feel the sun on your antlers as they rise, up up up, passing thru blue sky, clouds, layers of the atmosphere, until they reach the velvety rich blackness of space, and above your antlers, you see a particular constellation of stars, and your antlers reach towards it, and you realize this constellation matches the configuration of your antler tips. and as the antler tips make contact with the stars, a jolt of light flashes downwards, thru the antlers, all the way back down thru the crown of your skull, and this light flashes through you down thru your brain, your neck, your spine, your arms, your back, your organs, your cells, your legs, your feet, all the way down into the earth beneath you. this light flashes so fast, it's instantaneous, a whoosh of light that passes through every layer of your being, illuminating any areas of stuckness stagnancy or imbalance. and you stand now rooted in the earth, connected to the stars in the sky, standing tall now. vertical. pulled upwards, rooted downwards. here in your vertical alignment, energy can flow in it's rhythm of ascent and descent up and down the chakras, in a spiral of flow that allows you to be in your unique vibration, in your own perfect balance.

take a deep breath in and allow for your antlers to return to you now. offer your gratitude to the stars, say thank you for the light, continue to breathe deeply as the crown closes.
bring your attention back into your physical body, offer your gratitude to the earth…
feel now your vertical alignment, connected between earth and sky.
