(Brief) Grounding Meditation

 Some of these words are taken from Dream Mullick: https://www.dreammullick.com/

dream@dreammullick.com and some of these words are mine. Ring the bell 3 times.


In this moment, take a pause from whatever's occupying your mind and time, wherever you are… sitting, lying down or standing….


“….feel your feet...feel the 26 bones in each foot…all 33 joints...the ligaments, muscles, and tendons…. Feel your feet resting on the surface, meeting the floor or the earth below you…. meeting the vast network of millions of miles of mycelium connecting you to the earth, connecting us to each other…the 300 miles of mycelium beneath each and every footstep you take…


you are that connected...we are that connected…”


As you focus on your feet and the ground beneath your feet, notice the sensations in your feet.  Pause.  You can listen to my guidance about breathing during this meditation, or go on your own journey.  We will begin to breathe slowly in through our noses, pulling the air throughout our whole bodies upwards, downwards and even in those in-between spaces, finally coming to fill up our feet with sweet air. Then, as you exhale, we will let all of the breath leave our feet and leave our organs, blood, water, and space inside us, letting go of any toxins, any negative energies inside us, letting them flow out with our exhale. So we will start breathing in, up and down, throughout our bodies moving to our feet. Let’s also exhale air out of every pore we have. Letting go….. Let’s do this type of breathing for just a few minutes….  (In a minute and 1/2, read the following).


As we center ourselves and all of our parts in the connection between us and the earth, between us and the air around us, we notice we are not alone, we are not separate….. we are connected to all of the energies inside us and around us.  Sometimes we absorb distressing outside energies which can be so overwhelming that we feel sick, tired or despairing.  And, then we can also absorb healing energy and feel our bodies breathing in light, love, kindness and compassion as well. Let’s keep breathing just for a few more moments to practice drawing in air and letting go of whatever we have absorbed that we no longer want or need, and bringing into us those energies that nurture and comfort us well.


Breathing in and out, slowly, gently.  I will ring the bell when it is time to come back into the circle in a couple of minutes.


Ring bell and say: We thank the air we breathe and the energies we breathe in and out as we return to our circle.

Meditation: Co-Creating Your Own Life

"The Unbroken There is a brokenness out of which comes the unbroken, a shatteredness out of which blooms the unshatterable. There is a sorrow beyond all grief that leads to joy and a fragility out of whose depths emerges strength. There is a hollow space too vast for words through which we pass with each loss, out of whose darkness we are sanctioned into being. There is a cry deeper than all sound whose serrated edges cut the heart as we break open to the place inside which is unbreakable and whole, while learning to sing." ~ Rashani Let's speak our names into this circle today and share with each other if you have any intentions about today's gathering and if not, share   briefly anything else that comes to mind. Now for a meditation. Do all of this VERY SLOWLY, long pauses. I hope you can find a safe, comfortable space in here to sit, or lie down, or be in any position that works for you.   ( Feel free to turn off your audio and/or video, if on zoom.)   Breathe in t...

Meditation: Waterfall, Volcano, Geyser

Please find a private quiet space for this meditation. I invite you to sit or lie down in any comfortable position you choose.   You can close your eyes or let your eyelids droop, and take in a breath of fresh air through your nostrils, breathing slowly and gently in, (breathe) and exhaling through your mouth also gently.    Breathing in slowly and deeply, and breathing out any toxins, attachments, or energies that are not yours, breathing in light and warmth, exhaling to cleanse your body.   Keep breathing this way as I guide you, or return to your normal breathing. Ring bell 3 times While you are breathing, imagine yourself deep inside the earth.   You may be a living being, a gas, a liquid, a mineral, a solid something, an airy something, or any other type of substance, or material. Breathe.... As you wonder what you are, know that you have lived here comfortably, living life for quite some time. Keep breathing as you imagine what you are and how you move thr...
